We crossed a historic moment at 12-46 PM today (5th
August 2020) when the Bhumi Puja for the construction of the destroyed temple
of Rama at his birth place was done by the Prime Minister, Sri Narendra Modi.
An emotional moment for billions of Hindus around the world including me.
Rama had everything not right in his life. His
father decided to hand over the kingdom at a critical point in Time (Read
here) that ultimately resulted in Rama losing everything including his
wife. When he got back the kingdom, Time didn’t favor him live with his wife
and see the birth of his children. When he identified his children, again Time
played spoilsport by snatching away his wife once forever. Time also made him
denounce his brother at the penultimate hour in his life. When he decided to
cast off his mortal coils Time left his place desolate!
It was only in the last 1000 years, monarchs had started
building grand temple at His place. But none of them could stand for long, in contrast
to scores of temples of Tamilnadu that have withstood the vagaries of Time.
Why
this trouble to Rama’s place?
Anything wrong in Time of building them?
This
thought is upper most in my mind, as I think about the choice of destructors
and constructors by Time.
With so many
thoughts on karma and players in the hand of Destiny which I cannot share in public, I decided to just pen the
following verse of Periyazhwar with small changes.
பல்லாண்டு பல்லாண்டு
பல்லாயிரத்தாண்டு,
பலகோடி நூறாயிரம்
மல்லாண்ட திண்தோள்
ராமசந்திரா! உன்
சேவடி செவ்வித்திருக்காப்பு
அடியோ மோடும்
நின்னோடும்
பிரிவின்றி
ஆயிரம்
பல்லாண்டு
வடிவாய் நின்வல
மார்பினில்
வாழ்கின்ற
சீதையும் பல்லாண்டு
வடிவார் சோதி
வலத்துறையும்
சாரங்கமும் பல்லாண்டு
வளமாய் நின் ஆலயமும் வாழ்வாங்கு வாழிய பல்லாண்டே!

Namaste Madam!!!
In view of the threats being issues by the various islamic entities to the Ram janmabhoomi mandir, could you do an analysis of the bhoomi puja muhruth and let us know if there will be more challenges/obstacles to the Ram mandir construction in Ayodhya.

@Mr Ananth
The above blog would have conveyed a hidden meaning. I stop with that. However you will see in my Twitter timeline a couple of description on Bhumi puja time astrologically.
