Bhagwan Sri Ram Lord Sri Ram an Incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu was born in the solar dynasty in Ayodhya in the Treta Yuga - the second of the four Yugas, or ages of mankind to rescue the world from global evil, wickedness and sensuousness and to restore it to a happy, healthy and blessed state, for future generations. A role model of the values of life upheld by Hindu/Bhartiya culture

Role model of the values of life upheld by Bhartiya culture Bhagwan Sri Ram personifies the characteristics of an ideal person who is to be emulated. Purity and piety in his intentions and actions inspire affection and devotion for him. He is revered for his unending compassion, courage and devotion to dharmic values and duty. Dharma - Maryada (Principle) Loyalty - Bravery

Sri Ram s birth place Ayodhya(unconquerable city) Historic timeline 2100 years ago (1 st Century BCE) A grand temple, on 84 black touchstone pillars, was constructed by Sakari Samrat Vikramaditya at Sri Rama Janma Bhumi (birthplace of Sri Rama), in Ayodhya and dedicated to Sri Ram to glorify and perpetuate his memory as a national and global hero and savior. Further temples were built at different times to replace old ones that had been affected by vagaries of nature including the Sarayu floods, new ones coming up to mark the site as Sri Ramjanma bhumi sthaan. According to experts, the pre-babri temple had been in existence from the Gahadwal period. In 1528 CE: It was demolished by Muslim invaders. Tens of Thousands of Ram Bhakata sacrificed their lives attempting to save their revered temple. The existence of original temple and subsequent destruction is reported in detail in the Archeological Survey of India s report submitted to court in 2003. It sites a lot of evidence of a large 10th century structure similar to a Hindu temple

Ayodhya Historic timeline continued 1526 to 1949 CE During this period, there were 76 battles/struggles to reclaim the Rama Janma Bhoomi site and to reconstruct the temple. Guru Govind Singhji Maharaj the (10th Sikh Guru), Maharani Raj Kunwar and many other great warriors fought to reclaim the holy place. Approximately 60,000 Hindu temples destroyed during the Mughal era. Read HINDU TEMPLES WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM, Vol I and Vol II (VOI publications) In 1949 CE. At midnight on 22nd December, Sri Ram Lala (Infant Sri Ram) revealed Himself at the birthplace that was under the central dome of the structure. I am disturbed at developments at Ayodhya, Nehru said in a telegram on Dec. 26, 1949; but Local administration refused to follow Nehru s order. Sri Raam Puja Akhanda Naam Sankeertan continued since then and it ceased to be the functional mask.

Ayodhya Historic timeline continued 1984 CE The First Dharma Sansad (National Parliament of Sants and Dharmacharyas of various branches of the Dharmic Tradition organized by) resolved to reclaim Ayodhya and, in order to create public awareness on this issue, to start a Jan Jagaran Rath Yatra to demand that the gate of the Janma Bhumi sthaan (birthplace of Shree Rama) be unlocked. Year 1986 Responding to the massive support given by the public to these RathYatras, Late Rajiv Gandhi who was prime minister of congress govt ordered the locks or Raam Janma Bhumi to be opened for public. VHP gets a sketch for the proposed temple by famous temple architect. Year 1989 VHP organized world wide Raam Shila Pujan. Estimated 60 million people took part in this movement.

Police shot to kill, not to disperse the crowd. Hundreds of Karsevaks died on the spot and many more disappeared in the stampede. Hindus were dragged out of their homes and were killed. The dead bodies of Karsevaks were recovered from Sarayu river with sandbags hooked to the bodies so that they would not float.

Mr. Justice Sharma categorically stated that the disputed site is the birthplace of Lord Ram. He wrote: Place of birth is a juristic person and is a deity. It is personified as the spirit of divine worshipped as birthplace of Lord Rama as a child. Spirit of divine ever remains present everywhere at all times for anyone to invoke at any shape or form in accordance with his own aspirations and it can be shapeless and formless also.

Supporting Yogi Adityanath s Ayodhya visit, BJP leader Giriraj Singh said that the Y Modi duo will together make the construction of Ram Temple at the disputed site possible. If not in Ayodhya, then will the Ram Temple be constructed in Pakistan,

Sri Ram s birth place is Ayodhya Over the decades a number of devotees have spend their resources and lives to resolve the dispute. We pray for them. We hope that the democratic process and Dharmic institutions, and Sri Ram Bhkatas will rebuild the temple at birth place of Bhagwan Sri Ram for his worship. Lets light the Sri Raam Jyoti and pay respects to Sri Ram and millions of devotees who have sacrificed their life for Ramji and his ideals.
