Babri Masjid (Mosque) vs Ram Mandir (Temple)
Messages are currently being circulated on social media to vote in favour of Ram Mandir - the temple against Babri Masjid - the mosque, if one is a true Hindu.
“True Hindus MUST support Babri Masjid.”
Hinduism, like any other religion does not teach its followers to demolish or destruct a structure of another religion. On the contrary, it preaches to respect and protect other faiths & religions . It is to be remembered that Hinduism is originally called Sanatana Dharma, which means – religion that has no beginning or no end. Sanatana Dharma (Eternal Religion) is self sustained such that its existence is not dependant on construction of mandirs or destruction of masjids.
Undoubtedly, Ayodhya is the birth place of Lord Rama. There may have been a Ram temple in Ayodhya, which was demolished by the Mughals in the 1500s; though no evidence is enough to support that theory. Even if assumed to be true, Human Intelligence was very low during that period (identified by self-realized masters as descending Kali yuga consisting of 1200 years which started in 500 A.D), an intelligence which is now higher in the current age (identified by self-realized masters as ascending Dwapara Yuga consisting of 2400 years that started in 1700 A.D). Law and Order, Civilization, Technological Development, Space Science, A.I etc. is the indicative evidence of ascending intelligence attained by man in Dwapara. Then why are Hindus so desperate to repeat the folly of Mughals? If they do, it only serves the purpose of revenge (an anti-Hindu characteristic) against the Mughals, who today lie deeply buried underneath.
Why can’t Babri Masjid be looked at, as a great monument of India just like Taj Mahal and Charminar, when these monuments too were built by the Mughals? In that way, Hindus will become more respectable in the eyes of Muslims and a great nation will retain its dignity by protecting its own heritage. A true Hindu will see Lord Rama even in Babri Masjid. If not, then alternatively, the temple construction can be carried out elsewhere in Ayodhya other than Babri Masjid. It is the land of “Ayodhya” not land of “Babri Masjid” in particular that has significance to Lord Ram’s place of birth. Then why encourage ulterior, less intelligent, provocative, political motives wanting the Masjid to be demolished?
A true spiritual leader in India, if any, should spread the message of love among the multi cultures of India rather than getting engaged in “negotiations” between Hindus and Muslims thereby creating factions among communities. Wise men of India (if they had been alive today) like Swami Vivekananda, Sai Baba of Shirdi, Mahatma Gandhi or even Dr. Abdul Kalam would never want their nation to follow in the footsteps of belligerent Mughals.
True spiritual leaders, unfortunately don’t exist today despite India being called an ancient land of wisdom.
