Holy Water from 115 countries to be offered at Ayodhya Ram Janmabhoomi Temple.

Rajnath Singh says, Holy Water from 115 countries to be offered at Ayodhya Ram Temple replicates the message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. 

Upendra Bharti | HENB  | New Delhi | Sept 18, 2021:: Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said that procuring holy water from the sources of 115 countries of seven continents for offering in the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is an “innovative thinking” and it replicates the message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

Holy water from rivers, streams and oceans from these 115 countries was received by Singh at his residence at Akbar Road in presence of Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra general secretary Champat Rai and ambassadors and high commissioners from several countries including Denmark, Fiji and Nigeria.

The water was procured by NGO Delhi Study Circle, which is led by BJP leader and former Delhi MLA Vijay Jolly.

Lauding this effort, Singh said, “Procuring water from all the countries of the world replicates the thinking of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam of India. Bringing water from 115 countries is an excellent work. As there are 192 countries so far today in this world, I hope water from remaining 77 countries would also be procured by the time construction of the temple is completed. We will do ‘Jalabhishek’ of our Ram Lala from that water.” He further said that construction of Ram Temple is a moment of pride for everybody.

“Indian culture is very rich and there is no discrimination on the basis of cast, creed and religion in India,” he asserted.

Addressing the gathering, Rai said procuring water from across the world it is a historic moment. “In Ayodhya, there is a place called ‘Saptasagar’. It is believed that water from all oceans of the world was brought during the coronation of Lord Ram in Treta Yuga. And now when his temple is being made at his birth place, water from all the oceans of the world has again been brought. It is a sentimental issue for me,” he said.

Rai also said that the first phase of the foundation of the Ram Temple has been completed. Jolly said that during the Covid pandemic, when people could not step out of their homes, his organisation procured water from 115 nations across the world. “Not just Hindus but also Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Jews and Buddhists of the world have contributed to this noble cause. People from all religions in different countries helped us in procuring water from their counties,” he said, adding the water has been put in 115 small pots mentioning their respective countries.

Rajnath Singh greatly praised Vijay Jolly for this initiative to collect holy water around the world to offer the same to Ayodhya Ram Janmabhoomi temple.
