Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on his return journey from Sri Lanka to Tamil Nadu, experienced a moment of deep spiritual significance as he received a “Darshan” of the legendary Ram Setu.
The Ram Setu holds immense religious and cultural value for millions of Hindus around the world. According to the epic Ramayan, it was this very bridge that Lord Rama and his Vanara Sena built to cross over to Lanka to rescue Sita from the demon king Ravana. The sighting of the sacred formation from the air is considered an auspicious and rare experience.
Sharing his sentiments on social media, the Prime Minister wrote, “On the way back from Sri Lanka a short while ago, was blessed to have a Darshan of the Ram Setu. And, as a divine coincidence, it happened at the same time as the Surya Tilak was taking place in Ayodhya. Blessed to have the Darshan of both.”
