The verses from Hathras Tulsi’s Ghat Ramayan flows like this: Ek Ram Dasharath Ka Beta, Ek Ram Ghat Ghat pe Bhaitha, Ek Ram Ka Sakal Jag Pasara, Aur Ek Ram hai Sab se Nyara (One Ram is the son of Dasharath, The Other Ram pervades every speck of existence, Yet other Ram is spread across the Universe, And another Ram is the most lovable). The verse only indicates that Ram is not just a god, not just a person. Ram is the central motivator for the entire universe. Ram is that soundless sound that reverberates across existence.
When Sage Veda Vyasa composed the Vedas, the commoners could not comprehend it. So he wrote the Bhagavatham to ensure that the common man could bond with the divine. The common man with his low IQ and high EQ could feel the Bhagavatham with his heart. Thus began the age of Bhakti (devotion) where it is said that singing the name of the divine was enough to liberate mankind from all the vicious sins that could ever be conceived.
The same can be said about Ramayana. The real Ramayana is the story of the human soul caught in the vortex of Maya (Illusion). Ram is supposed to be the God. Sita is supposed to be the soul. Hanuman is supposed to be the devotee uniting the soul with its beloved God. That is about the spiritual dimension of Ramayana. The material drama was actually played in the Treta Yuga (eons ago) to demonstrate the ideal man. Ram is not a person in this sense. He is the Godhead, taking birth in the human plane, only to demonstrate the epitome of human existence.
The Hindu vibes with Ram is indeed great. Ayodhya — the birth place of Ram — has been venerated all along and Ram Naam (the divine name) is played throughout the year non-stop for such is the stuff that faith is made of.
Unfortunately for the Hindus, Jehadis made it a point to denigrate this very cornerstone of Hindu faith. Chronicles have it on record that Babur demolished the Ram Temple in Ayodhya with a view to denigrate Hinduism. Though the karsewaks demolished Babur’s mosque in the year 1991, there only exists a make-shift Temple for Ram.
The entire pseudo secularist brigade — accompanied by the Mullah-Missionary-Comrade cacophony — is hellbent on denying a Temple for the most popular Hindu God.
Building a Temple for Ram is only the starting point for Ramarajyam (utopian society). Hindus would do well to elect a pro-Hindu government at the centre to ensure that we get a grand Temple for Ram. That would ensure the beginning of Ramarajyam — without the dhobi who suspected Sita, of course. For, I am sure, that the dhobi is now reborn as a pseudo secularist and he must be in a very high position in our secular media.
