Ayodhya, September 26th, 2024
Jay Sri Ram,
In Ayodhya we had 2 days nice weather. It was cloudy and a cool breeze was blowing. It was not hot and very pleasant. We visited many smaller temples.
Yesterday we went to the new Rama Temple, in Ayodhya. It is simply astounding to what degree of surveillance the Indians are capable of controlling the pilgrims.
First of all you cannot see this new temple from anywhere. One can only first see it when you are on the grounds. Than there is the second problem. All of the temple grounds are hermetically sealed of. Nobody can go straight to the temple. There is only one entrance to the temple grounds which is controlled by the Indian police. One is only allowed entrance when showing a ticket and passport or ID card. That means beggars and pilgrims without ID cannot enter. There are 2 kinds of tickets, a normal one and VIP. We did not know this when we applied for the tickets and thought they had given us the normal ones. But by Krsna’s arrangement they had issued 2 VIP tickets. Exstacy. On the 800 meters to the temple there were 4 rows packed with people and 1 for VIP which was EMPTY. Lined up in the 4 rows it would take at least 30 minutes to get to the temple but in the VIP row you could enter the temple right away and see the altar in no time. By Krsna’s arrangement everything was ecstatic. In the VIP row the pilgrim has 1 minute time to have Darshan, in the normal row 30 seconds, than move on.
On the 800 meter path there are 4 police controls where the the tickets and ID are checked from different police personnel and each personnel has to sign of in handwriting. No mobile, bags and other stuff is allowed
has to be deposited at the entrance. If you have managed all this one is lucky to see the Ram deity.
This whole temple is at the moment not yet finished. Only up to the second floor with the third and the dome still under construction. It is a huge construction site.
Inside the temple room the deity is placed right on the middle. It is a very big black deity, that’s all. I had asked why there is no Sita, no Hanuman and no Laksman???
It was answered that in this temple Lord Rama is worshipped as “Rama Lalaji”. “Lalaji” is a child, a boy. That is why He is alone. “Raja Rama” is Rama with Sita, Laksman and Hanuman. “Rama Lalaji” is Rama as a boy.
Haribol
This should make vaishnava community realize that temples are used as political pawns and run the risk of infiltration and subversion of the divine message. In Europe churches are burning down and other places attacked by terrorists! Time to ‘decentralize’ as Srila Prabhupada wanted and become more self reliant by producing food requirements as Amish and Mennonites have done for centuries!
Lala or Lalaji means “Boy” that is the Rama as a Boy, before He married Sita and before He met up with Hanuman, that is why Sita an Hanuman are missing on the altar.
Even when Rama was a Boy he was NEVER alone. At least they should have added His parents or His brothers on the altar. IDIOTS. A little boy all alone in a forest??? Idiots. Deities are never alone, if not with the wife, than with parents, friends or brothers. Krsna is never alone, in whatever situation, and the same goes for Rama.
The stupid Indians want Lakshmi without Narayana, because they only want the money without surrendering to Narayana.
This was political decision and advertising campaign for Modi to be reelected.
THE PARAMBRAHMAN CAN’T NEVER BE ALONE BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T NEVER BE ALONE.AGTACBSP YS HARIBOL
One always gets What’s coming to you.
Even the God’s can’t oppose.
The Laws of Destiny.
And so, I regret nothing
And nothing astonishes me.
What Destiny gives me,
No one can take away.

Pamho agtacbsp, that is very true prabhu that is the meaning that we are on our own in the material world and krsna don’t interfere with the destiny of the karma we created because HE created us perfectly blissful therefore we need to wait this karmic cycle is over by practicing sravana, kirtana, smarana vandana……..that’s the way to end the mental slavery of the uncomfortable concept of bodily life,agtacbsp ys haribol
We are ordinary living entity who need to become dear to SRI KRSNA THROUGH THE BHAKTI YOGA PROCESS DIKSA VIDHANA,we are here in this world because of the betrayal we done to SRI KRSNA THEREFORE UNLESS WE REPENT ABOUT THAT BY STOPPING TO BETRAY HIM WE ARE LIVING STILL IN THE MATERIAL WORLD AND WE ARE IN TROUBLE WITH OUR MIND senses ……because even a intelligent person is forced to act compare his guna and karma because the knowledge he got is not in vijnana maya.agtacbsp ys haribol
