There is extraordinary satisfaction in the heart of every Ram devotee. There is boundless gratitude. There is unfathomable supernatural bliss.””The pain of centuries finds rest today. The resolve of centuries is attaining fulfilment today. This is the completion of that sacred yajna whose flame remained lit for 500 years,” he added.PM Modi was joined by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel and chief minister Yogi Adityanath at the event.’Pain of centuries finds rest today’Addressing the gathering, Modi said, “Ayodhya is witnessing another epochal event in its history; entire country, globe is immersed in Ram.”He added, “The pain of centuries finds rest today. The resolve of centuries is attaining fulfilment today. This is the completion of that sacred yajna whose flame remained lit for five hundred years.”‘Ayodhya is emerging as backbone of a developed India’Modi said Ayodhya was reclaiming its place as a model for the world.”Today, Ayodhya is once again becoming that city which will serve as an example for the world. Ayodhya of the Treta Yuga gave humanity the gift of righteousness.””Ayodhya of the 21st century is giving humanity a new model of development. Then, Ayodhya was the centre of propriety. Now, Ayodhya is emerging as the backbone of a developed India.”He added that the future Ayodhya would reflect “a confluence of mythology and modernity,” where “the nectar-like flow of the Saryu River and the stream of development will flow together,” and “the harmony between spirituality and AI will be evident.”’Dharma Dhwaj is the banner of Indian civilisation’Modi described the flag as a symbol of struggle, devotion and civilisational resurgence.”This flag… is resolve, it is success! This flag… is the saga of creation born from struggle, the realised form of dreams carried through the centuries.””This Dharma Dhwaj is not merely a flag; it is the banner of the renaissance of Indian civilisation. Its saffron hue, the renown of the Solar Dynasty inscribed upon it, the depicted syllable Om, and the embossed Kovidara tree symbolise the glory of Ram Rajya.”He said the flag represented “the sacred outcome of the saints’ devotion and the collective participation of society” and would, for generations, proclaim the ideals of Lord Ram.Temples built for key figures of the RamayanaPM Modi highlighted the seven temples built within the complex, including those dedicated to Mata Shabari, Nishadraj, Maa Ahilya, Maharishi Valmiki, Maharishi Vashishtha, Maharishi Vishwamitra, Maharishi Agastya and Sant Tulsidas.Statues of Jatayu and the Gilehri, he said, symbolise the value of every contribution “however small, for the fulfilment of great resolutions.”‘Ayodhya is the land where ideals become conduct’Calling Ayodhya the city that shaped Lord Ram’s journey, PM Modi said it taught the world how a person “rises to become ‘Maryada Purushottam’.””This Dharmadhwaj shall serve as an inspiration: that life may depart, but the word must not… This Dharmadhwaj shall convey the message—Karmapradhan vishwa rachi rakha.”He said the flag aspired to a society free of “discrimination, suffering, and distress,” bringing “peace and happiness.” The whole world will be run by that flag: Bhagwat Addressing a large gathering in the presence of PM Modi, Yogi Adityanath, and thousands of attendees, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat called the occasion a “significant day for all”.

Their souls must be full today,” he said, adding that, “Ashok ji (Ashok Singhal) must have felt peace today. Mahant Ram Chandra Das ji Maharaj, Dalmia ji (senior VHP leader Vishnu Hari Dalmia) and numerous saints, people and students sacrificed their lives and worked hard.”Bhagwat described the ceremonial flag unfurled at the temple as a symbol of the legacy of Ram Rajya — a vision of justice, peace and prosperity. “The ‘dhwaj’ of Ram Rajya, which once flew high in Ayodhya and used to spread peace and prosperity to the world, is now seated at its ‘shikhar’ and we witnessed this happening,” he said, calling the moment spiritually meaningful.He stressed that the moment was not just symbolic but deeply spiritual. “‘Bhagwa’ is the colour of this flag, it is ‘Dharmdhwaj’. The whole world will be run by that flag,” he declared.’A new era for the nation’Further chief minister Yogi Adityanath said the saffron flag marked the beginning of a “new era” for the nation, asserting that the Ram Temple stands as a symbol of the faith and self-respect of 140 crore Indians. Recalling the long struggle, he said the Ram Janmabhoomi movement had only one slogan, ‘Ram Lalla hum aayenge. Mandir wahin banayenge. Lathi goli khayenge, mandir wahin banayenge”.The triangular flag, measuring 10 feet by 20 feet, features a radiant Sun, the sacred ‘Om’, and the Kovidara tree. It was hoisted during the “Abhijit Muhurat,” considered highly auspicious.Champat Rai, general secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, said the ceremony marked the formal completion of the temple’s construction.
