VHP thanks people as Ram Temple nidhi samarpan drive ends

New Delhi, Mar 1: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) today offered its thanks and expressed gratitude towards people of the country as the 45-day long nation-wide Shri Ram Mandir Nidhi Samarpan Abhiyan (Ram Temple funds offering campaign) that began on last Makar Sankranti day, concluded on Saturday.

The drive recorded unforgettable, astonishing and heart-warming memories.

VHP Central Working President and National Convener of this campaign Advocate Alok Kumar said today that not only through this biggest campaign of the world, four million dedicated Karyakartas forming part of 1 million teams, went from door to door, in states, cities, towns, districts, tehsils and villages to receive the funds offered by the people, but also the devotion, faith and dedication shown by the contributors towards Sri Ram was encouraging and soul-stirring. The VHP expressed its gratitude to the Hindu society for its generous contributions and association.

Alok Kumar further said that crores of Hindu families from lakhs of villages, towns and cities connected with this campaign with love, affection and fondness. In the course of this drive, the Karyakartas had rendezvous with many emotional moments and situations and also they saw many people contributing beyond their ability.

Many people, with tears of joy and humility, dedicated their offerings to Lord Sri Ram. At many places, the Nidhi Samarpan teams were welcomed and received as Ram's ambassadors and honored and cared for accordingly.

In this, right from the first citizen of Bharat - the President - to those sleeping on the pavements, contributed from their pious incomes and connected and associated them with Bhagwan Shri Ram. It has now become unmistakable and definite that this grand Temple of Nativity of Shri Ram to come up at Ayodhya will also stand as the Rashtra Mandir.

The data, experiences and inspiring episodes and anecdotes of this biggest campaign of the world are being compiled, which the VHP would try to put before the country soon, Kumar said.
