Important points of Modi's speech in Dwarka

This is the festival of Lord Rama's victory over the tyrant Ravana. That's why we burn Ravana every year. This is not enough. This festival is a festival of resolutions for us, a festival of repeating them. This time we are celebrating Vijayadashami when two months have been completed for Chandrayaan to the Moon.

We know the knowledge of Geeta and also know science. We also know the resolution of Shakti Puja and mantras to remember mother during Navratri. Vijayadashami is a symbol of these thoughts. Today we are fortunate that we are able to see the construction of Ram's temple.

On the next Ramnavmi, the puja at Ramlala temple in Ayodhya is going to delight the whole world. The grand temple being built on the birthplace of Lord Ram, the divine temple is a symbol of the victory of Indians after centuries of waiting. Only a few months are left for Lord Ram to reside in the Ram temple. Lord Ram is just about to arrive

The Prime Minister said, every note resonating in the temple of Ramlala on the next Ram Navami will make the whole world happy. Today we are seeing the grandest temple of God being built. The temple being built on the birthplace of Lord Ram is a symbol of the victory of us Indians after centuries of waiting. Only a few months are left for Lord Ram to reside in the Ram temple. Lord Ram is about to come. Imagine the joy when the statue of Lord Ram will be installed in that temple.

The PM said, we entered the new Parliament building only a few weeks ago. Nari Shakti Vandan Act has also been passed by the Parliament. India today is emerging as the world's largest democracy and the most trusted democracy. Amidst these happy moments, Lord Shri Ram is also going to be seated in the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

He said, this is going to be the rise of India's destiny, but this is also the time when India needs to be very cautious first. We have to keep in mind that today the burning of Ravana should not be the burning of just an effigy, it should be the burning of those forces who try to divide Mother India in the name of casteism and regionalism. This should be the burning of those thoughts in which the fulfillment of selfishness lies not in the development of India.

Earlier, PM Modi also greeted the countrymen on the occasion of Vijayadashami. PM Modi made a post on social media platform This holy festival brings the message of ending negative forces as well as adopting goodness in life. Vijayadashami is celebrated every year in the country on the tenth day of Ashwin month. This festival is also seen as a symbol of the victory of good over evil.

Today is the day of Vijayadashami, hence the last phase of Ramlila has also arrived. Ravana-Kumbhakaran dialogue, Kumbhakarna-Vibhishana dialogue, killing of Meghnath, killing of Kumbhkaran and killing of Ahiravan were staged in Ramlila on Somwal. Today Ravana's killing will be staged.
