CM

stated, Today, the sacred city of Shri Ayodhya Dham, nestled in the lap

of holy and sacred Maa Saryu, is fully decked up for 'Divya Deepotsav', the

grand confluence of extraordinary joy, pride and devotion. The sacred

culmination of years of anticipation and the faith of crores of Sanatanis is

once again set to emerge as the golden radiance of lakhs of diyas, proclaiming

the eternal victory of light over darkness and truth and righteousness. Every

particle of Awadhpuri is filled with joy and vibrant with devotion today.

CM

extended a warm welcome and greetings at the sacred birthplace of Prabhu Shri

Ram to the Vice President, respected ambassadors, high commissioners, and

diplomats of various friendly countries, all distinguished guests from India

and abroad, and revered saints and devotees of Lord Ram, who are arriving to

grace this divine and grand event. He stated, Your presence at this

sacred festival of equality, social harmony, cultural unity and 'Vasudhaiva

Kutumbakam' will make this Deepotsav historic and unforgettable. Let us become

witnesses to this grand festival of dharma, dignity and illumination.

CM

described a diya as not merely an earthen vessel, but an awakening of

consciousness. He wrote, For ages, it has been teaching us that we do not

have to fight darkness; we only have to light a single flame and darkness

disappears.

CM

noted, Sacred Deepotsav, organized in Shri Ayodhya Dham, the foremost

among Saptapuris, to celebrate the joyous arrival of Maryada Purushottam Prabhu

Shri Ram, offers a living glimpse of this spirit. Today, with Maa Saryu as our

witness, we are going to celebrate the 10th Deepotsav in the city dearest to

the heart of Prabhu Shri Ram.

CM

also conveyed his sentiments, stating, Deepotsav of Ayodhya is a grand festival

of our faith, self-pride and the renaissance of Sanatan consciousness. When

diyas are lit at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, you should also light lamps in your

respective homes and courtyards. Let us celebrate the proclamation of Sanatan

truth.

Chief

Minister wrote, The flame of a resolve lit on the banks of the holy Saryu

in 2017 has today given India's cultural pride a new identity and prestige on

the global stage. This historic decade of Deepotsav in Shri Ayodhya Dham has

not remained limited to the illumination of diyas and world records; rather, it

has become a golden chapter in the revival of Treta Yuga grandeur in the city

of Prabhu Shri Ram, the renaissance of Sanatan culture, and the restoration of

the nation's self-pride. The lakhs of diyas lit at Ram Ki Paidi have not only

dispelled darkness but have also kindled a new light of faith, Antyodaya and

local self-reliance. This glorious decade stands witness to the fulfillment of

that historic resolve which, by transforming centuries of anticipation into a

magnificent reality, has once again established Ayodhya with its cultural

identity and pride.

CM

appealed, On this glorious 10th edition of Deepotsav, let us all imbibe

the ideals of Prabhu Shri Ram in our lives. Let us work towards establishing a

Ram Rajya where the light of development reaches the lives of those standing at

the last rung of society and where this eternal flame of faith, social harmony

and service continues to illuminate the world for ages to come.
