Demolition of Ram Janma Bhumi as recorded by Tulsi das

 

 

Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami

Rambhadracharya, aged about 54 years (vide his affidavit

dated 15.7.2003) has said the following in his cross examination as under.

The major evidence he has given was Sri Tulsishatak written by Tulsi Das grieving over the demolition of Ram Janma Bhumi.

 

 

 

"As per my study and knowledge, Ayodhya-situated

disputed site itself is the birthplace of Lord Sri Rama. It is

known to all that Lord Sri Rama was born in Ayodhya itself

and the disputed site is, as per faith, tradition and belief,

recognised by the followers of Hinduism as the birthplace

of Sri Rama since the time immemorial, and the worship of

that place has consistently been performed."

 

 

 "As per Hindu scriptures, idols and the places of gods

are revered worshipping which a man attains liberation."

 

 

 " Particular places have special importance in Hindu

scriptures and they are self deified and revered as

Swayambhudev (God of land in themselves). By virtue of

faith, tradition and worship, this type of places are the most

exalted places of worship in the minds of people from

eternity. This type of places blessed with divinity do not

require 'Shivait' or 'Sarvarahakar' or 'Mahanta'.

Appointment of 'Shivait' or 'Sarvarahakar' or 'Mahanta'

needs to be made at man-made places of gods."

 

 

 "Description of Ayodhya being the birthplace of

Raghavendra Lord Sri Rama and the disputed site being

Sri Rama's birthplace, is found in Valmiki Ramayana,

Atharvaveda,

Yajurveda,

Ramtapniyayopanishad,

Skandapurana and Tulsidas's literature.

 

 

Goswami  Tulsidas, in his 'Sri Tulsishatak' has clearly described the

deeds of Muslims and Babur and the mosque having been

built by Mir Baqi after demolishing Sri Ram Janam Mandir

at Ayodhya, which runs as follows

 

 

Goswami Tulsidas Ji says that 'Yavans'

(barbarians /Mohammedans) ridicule hymns, several

Upnishads and treatises like Brahmans, Puranas, Itihas

(histories) etc. and also the Hindu society (orthodox

religion) having faith in them. They exploit the Hindu

society in different ways.

 

 

Goswami Tulsi Das says that forcible attempts are

being made by Muslims to expel the followers of Hinduism

from their own native place (country), forcibly divesting

them of their Shikha (lock of hair on the crown of head)

and 'Yagyopaveet' (sacrificial thread) and causing them to

deviate from their religion. Tulsi Das terms this time as a

hard and harrowing one.

 

 

Describing the barbaric attack of Babur, Goswami Ji

says that he indulged in gruesome genocide of the natives

of that place (followers of Hinduism), using sword (army).

Gowami Tulsi Das Ji says that countless atrocities

were committed by foolish 'Yavans' (Mohammedans) in

Awadh (Ayodhya) in and around the summer of Samvat

1585, that is, 1528 AD (Samvat 1585- 57=1528 AD).

 

 

Describing the attack made by 'Yavans', that is,

Mohammedans on Sri Ramjanambhumi temple, Tulsi Das

Ji says that after a number of Hindus had been mercilessly

killed, Sri Ram Janam Bhumi temple was broken to make it

a mosque.

 

Looking at the ruthless killing of Hindus, Tulsi Ji

says that his heart felt aggrieved, that is, it began to weep,

and on account of incident it continues to writhe in pain.

 

 

Seeing the mosque constructed by Mir Baqi in

Awadh, that is, Ayodhya in the wake of demolition of Sri

Ram Janam Bhumi temple preceded by the grisly killing of

followers of Hinduism having faith in Rama and also

seeing the bad plight of the temple of his favoured deity

Rama, the heart of Tulsi began to always cry tearfully for

Raghuraj (the most revered among the scions of the Raghu

Dynasty).

 

Being aggrieved thereby, submitting himself to

the will of Sri Rama, he shouted: O Ram ! Save....Save...

Tulsi Das Ji says that the mosque was constructed by

the wicked Mir Baqi after demolishing Sri Ram Janam

Bhumi temple, situated in the middle of Awadh, that is,

Ayodhya.

 

 

Tulsi Das Ji says that the Quran as well as Ajaan call

is heard from the holy place of Sri Ram Janam Bhumi,

where discourses from Shrutis, Vedas, Puranas, Upnishads

etc. used to be always heard and which used to be

constantly reverberated with sweet sound of bells."

 

 

 

 "In his work 'Kavitavali', Goswami Tulsidas while

expressing detachment from the society and his attachment

and faith towards Lord Rama has mentioned about the

disputed site in the following lines:

 

 

 

"Dhoot Kahaun, Avadhoot Kahaun, Rajpoot

Kahaun, Jolha Kahaun Kou.

Kahu Ki Beti Se Beta Na Byahab, Kahu Ki Jati

Bigaran Sou.

Tulsi Sar Naam Gulamu Hai Ram Ko, Jako

Ruche So kahe Kachhu Jou.

Mangi Ke Khaibon, Maseet Me Soibo, Laive

Ko Eku Na Deve Ke Dou."

 

 

 " The Veda equivalent Valmiki Ramayana is

considered to have been composed in the period of Lord

Sri Rama. While describing the time, climate, planets etc.

of the birth of Lord Sri Rama in Sarga-18 of Balkand in the

Valmiki Ramayana, Maharishi Valmiki has clearly

described the birthplace of Lord Sri Rama through the

words 'Sarvalok Namaskrit' in the following Shloka-

"Tato Yagye Samapte Tu Ritunam Shat

Samatyuyah.

Tatasch Dwadashe

 

 

"24. The religious books specially Ramtapniopanishad,

Veda-Vedangas contain description of all four forms of

God Almighty viz. (1) Name, (2) Form, (3) Leela (actions)

and (4) Dham (abode), besides the method of offering

prayer.

 

The word Dham implies Janmbhumi (birthplace),

as is clear from the following Shloka-

"Dharm Sthane Prakashe Cha Janmbhumau

Tathaiva Cha.

Kirane Chaiv Vigyeyam Tatha

Chandanrashmino." (E.T.C.)

Accordingly it is clear that the Sri Ramjanmbhumi is

worshipable alike favoured deity and since time

immemorial, the Hindu devotees have been continuously

revering the said place as the centre of their faith."
