Calling the Dharma Dhwaj a powerful symbol rather than a ceremonial object, PM Modi said the flag represented India’s collective journey through adversity and perseverance. “This Dharma Dhwaj is a symbol of resolve. This Dharma Dhwaj is the story of triumph born out of struggle. This Dharma Dhwaj is the realised form of a dream carried for centuries,” he said. (Image: News18)
The Prime Minister further added that the flag was a sacred outcome of the saints devotion and the collective participation of society and that it would continue for millennia to proclaim the ideals and principles of Lord Ram. (Image: News18)
He said the connection with Lord Ram transcended divisions. “We connect with our Ram not through distinctions, but through emotions,” he said, adding that Ram’s values—duty, compassion, courage and justice—should shape India’s path in the decades ahead. Modi said that if the country aspired to become a developed nation by 2047, it must draw inspiration from Ram’s ideals. “If India is to become developed by the year 2047 — if people want to empower themselves — then we must walk the path shown by Ram.” (Image: News18)
PM Modi described the ceremony as a moment that had brought immense fulfilment to millions of devotees worldwide. “Today, the name of Lord Ram resonates across the entire world. Every devotee carries an unparalleled sense of fulfilment in the heart. Every devotee carries gratitude that cannot be measured.” He added that Ayodhya’s transformation and the completion of the temple were reminders of India’s spiritual continuity and cultural resurgence. He also stressed that “India is the mother of democracy” and must preserve this strength as it moves forward. (Image: News18)
