Shri Narendra Modi, the Legend and the chosen Son of India !

13 Dec 2021 Margashira Shukla Dashami Monday is the day that is to be written in golden letters in the history of India, because Lord Shiva's temple at Varanasi has been liberated on this day, from the pitiable condition in which it has been languishing for the past 1000 years. . 

Millions take birth and disappear like insects in the flow of Time, but only very few take birth on this planet once in a thousand years. Our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji is one such blessed soul. There are many reasons for me to say this.

• He is the hero who solved the Kashmir issue which has been burning for the past 75 years.
• Again, he is the legend who removed the heart ache of millions of Indian Hindus who have been crying for the past thousand years, over the pitiable state of the divine temple of Lord Shiva in Varanasi.  

The list is endless. There are innumerable good things done by him in the service of our motherland. But, the above two reasons are enough for all Indians to bow down at his feet for all eternity. 

There are some great persons whom we remember with devotion and reverence as soon as we get up from the bed every morning. We start our day after folding our hands in their thought. Adi Sankara and Swami Vivekananda are some among them. I place Shri Narendra Modi Ji in their row. India is indebted to him forever.

'Divya Kashi, Bhavya Kashi' is his dream project which was started in 2019. Earlier to that, he dreamed of getting the Ganges river cleaned. Their first phase is over now. Today, in a grand function organized at Kashi, he dedicated the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor to the nation.

Ganges has regained it lost purity. The path that leads from Ganges river to the temple of Lord Shiva has been widened into a majestic road, as it used to be in olden days.

I request everyone to listen to our PM's speech from beginning to the end. Very rarely we get the privilege of listening to such a thrilling speech that comes straight from the heart of the speaker. I have heard hundreds of speeches delivered by great scholars and Swamis but all of them just pale into insignificance compared to the speech delivered today at Kashi by Shri Narendra Modi ji. While listening to him, you will see not only a patriotic heart, but the enlightened vision of a seer and the wisdom of a Karma Yogi and a Jnani. You will be thrilled many times during the speech and involuntarily cry without your knowledge. I have observed many of the 6000 seers and Swamis in the audience, wiping out their tears, while listening to him.

To know how cruelly the Muslims of the past desecrated the holy temple of Lord Shiva at Kashi, you need to look back into Indian history. Then you will understand how much they had damaged the hearts of Hindus and why the Hindus of India hate Muslims even today.

It was 1194 AD. Kutbuddin Aibak, the army general of Mohammad Ghori of present day Afghanistan attacked and destroyed the beautiful temple of Lord Siva at Varanasi. The thoughtless and destructive teachings of Quran were his shelters. Then in 1240 AD the temple was rebuilt by a Gujarati marchant. Again it was destroyed in 1400-1500 during the reign of Sikandar Lodi. During the reign of Akbar, Raja Man Singh and Raja Todar Mall took initiative and rebuilt it. Then came the rule of a despicable idiotic demon called Aurangazeb who ruled our country for a long 50 years. It was a veritable hell time for the whole of India. During his reign, in 1669 again the temple was desecrated and destroyed. He converted it into a mosque. In 1780 AD, the Maratha queen, Shrimati Ahalya Bai Holkar arranged for re construction of a small temple, leaving the mosque as it was. And in 1835 AD, Maharaja Ranjith Singh of Punjab, arranged for told plating of the temple's dome.

Let the Muslims follow their religion, nobody cares. But why should they destroy the temples of other faiths? They say that it is sanctioned by Quran. If it is so, there is an urgent need to review and reform Quran. A book which teaches intolerance and destruction cannot be called a book of God.

None of the leaders who ruled India in the past 75 years cared to look either at Kashmir or at the heart rending state of the great temples of India which have been destroyed, occupied and turned into mosques by the cultureless stone-age tribes from the North West.

At last, the Shiva temple of Kashi has regained its lost glory today, thanks to the great efforts put forth by our PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji, fulfilling the aspirations of millions of Hindus for the past 1000 years.

Not only this, there are many other things that have happened in this long process.

During the foreign rule, the original idol of Mother Annapurna was dug out, stolen,  crossed the oceans and finally landed in Canada. It is only through the tireless efforts of our PM Shri Narendra Modiji that this divine idol is brought back from Canada to India and was re installed in her temple in Varanasi. Can we imagine the good fortune of our PM sir? What a great legendary soul he is !

There is more ! In the process of widening of the narrow lanes leading from Ganges to the temple, about 1500 families were relocated. And lo ! nearly 40 ancient temples which were illegally occupied and became the living quarters of people, came to limelight. We find that the Puranas mentioned about these temples, but they are nowhere to be seen today, drowned in the quagmire of lanes and by lanes of Varanasi. Now, all of them have seen day light again, and regained their lost glory.

It is not an exaggeration to say that legends like Shri Narendra Modi ji are born only once in a thousand years.

There is a rural saying in Telugu which says 'How does a pig know about the fragrance of a fine perfume?', Similarly, how do the illiterate, rustic, idiotic, fanatic invaders of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan know about the exalted philosophic subtleties of Indian religion? How can the immoral and lowly minds of Muslim invaders steeped in looting and destruction, ever know the secrets that lie behind the great temple traditions of India?

Even after 75 years of independence we are unable to reclaim and renovate our ancient temples just because of the stunted mindsets of leaders who were at the helm of affairs during our freedom struggle and the latter leaders whose sole aim was minority appeasement and vote bank politics.

As a young man, Shri Narendra Modi Ji was fired by the great ancient traditions of Hindu religion and wanted to join the Ramakrishna Mission as a celibate. He was discouraged by the great Swami Atmasthananda Ji who said 'Your path is not sanyas. You have to serve our mother land. You should not become a monk. Go and serve the country selflessly'. Today, we are witnessing history, because of the extraordinary vision of that Swamiji and the divine advice he gave to Shri Modi Ji.

It is my confirmed opinion that not only us, but the coming generations for thousands of years, will worship Shri Modi Ji as a legendary son of Mother India who liberated Kashmir and also liberated Kasi Vishwanath Mandir, to remember just two things out of hundreds of landmarks he had set up in the history of India. 

Shri Narendra Modi Ji is not only a legend, but the chosen son of Mother India. Souls like him are born only once in a thousand years. I see a King Janaka, a Sankara and a Vivekananda in him.

Indians have become indebted to him forever ! He should remain our PM for another hundred years !
