Ayodhya, Jan 22: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat said on Monday that the history of Bhagwan Shri Ram Lalla's homecoming to Ayodhya is such that whoever listens to those stories, their sorrows and pains get erased.
"Today, after 500 years, Ram Lalla has returned here and due to his efforts, we are seeing this golden day today. We pay our utmost respect to him. The history of this era has so much power that whoever listens to the stories of Ram Lalla, all their sorrows and pains will be erased," he said.
The RSS Sarsanghchalak further said that countrymen should refrain from greed and be disciplined.
"The citizens of Ayodhya were hardworking, not arrogant and religious. We should treat others as equals. We should indulge in service wherever we see unhappiness, earn our livelihood and give back whatever excess we have. Do not fall prey to greed and be disciplined," he added.
The Sarsanghchalak said that we should practice penance to make our country 'Vishwa Guru'. "We should practice penance together to make our country Vishwa Guru. If we practice this, along with the ongoing construction of the temple Vishwa Guru Bharat will also be established," he said.
