Says world must learn from Lord Ram’s ideals of Dharma and Sacrifice
Jammu Tawi, Apr 3: Terming Ayodhya as the cradle of civilisation and eternal fountainhead of consciousness, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday said that the world must learn from the ideals of Lord Ram’s rectitude, dharma, duty and sacrifice.
Speaking at the 8th Ayodhya Parv, organised by Shri Ayodhya Nyas, in collaboration with Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA) and Pragya Sansthan at IGNCA, New Delhi, LG Sinha said, “When we invoke Ayodhya, we summon that very consciousness which is Prabhu Shri Ram’s benediction and which has given meaning to human civilisation.”
The Lieutenant Governor highlighted the significance of internalising Ayodhya’s idea with Prabhu Shri Ram’s blessing and to carry forward that timeless flame which has burned for millennia and will continue to illumine generations to come.
“The world must learn from the ideals of Lord Ram’s rectitude, dharma, duty and sacrifice. His life is living proof that those who walk the path of truth and righteousness ultimately prevail,” the Lieutenant Governor said. He observed that to understand Ayodhya is not to understand a city and its geography, but to understand oneself.
“Ayodhya is the living consciousness of the present and the compass of the future. It is not just a city; it is our root. Ayodhya is not only a shrine; it is the nation’s dynamic inspiration. Ayodhya is urging us to awaken our inner consciousness. It instils in us the confidence that however high the obstacles or however much times may change, if faith and awareness remain alive, tradition never ends,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor said that Ayodhya is awakening a sense of moral values, principles and balance in life.
“Ayodhya reminds us that progress never means abandoning our roots. Ayodhya tells us that life is not about speed alone, but also about the right direction.
In today’s global climate, I would say Ayodhya stands before us as a guide,” LG Sinha said.
The Lieutenant Governor said that Ayodhya stands as a symbol that values such as duty, dignity, compassion, sacrifice and balance were not merely taught there but they were lived.
“As an idea, Ayodhya teaches us that strength and sensitivity can walk together, because leadership is not only governance but service.
Ayodhya is not only the city of our revered Lord Ram, it is also a vital pillar of our global identity, our economic strength and our cultural continuity,” he said.
The Lieutenant Governor emphasised that on the global stage, we must position Ayodhya as a civilisational centre where humankind first saw nature not merely as a resource, but as a living force, and through the efforts of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi this power has been rekindled anew.
“The true strength of nations lies in their identity, their cultural depth and their civilisational roots. In that light, the significance of a civilisational source like Ayodhya is not confined to India but its impact can be felt deeply across the world,” he said.
