It바카라s understandable for a civilisation to carry a wound. It may be real or imagined but, unless it바카라s politically manufactured and motivated, it needs to be respected and addressed. Such wounds may exist beyond the letter of the constitution, and yet a mature civilisation is expected to acknowledge and resolve them. But if one thought that the Ram temple would assuage the injured Hindu pride, it바카라s not to be. Another Ayodhya now looms large over India. The bow is primed. The target defined.
And yet, the wound many kar sevaks felt on the evening of December 6, 1992, and feel today before the Gyanvapi is as intense as it could be. It may not be shared by many other Hindus, but for them it바카라s real and needs a resolution.
Thankfully, one doesn바카라t have to look far into the past as here바카라s a profound anecdote recorded in The Life of Swami Vivekananda. Once Vivekananda visited Kashmir and was greatly distressed to find temples being vandalised by 바카라the Mohammaden invaders바카라. At the Kheer Bhawani temple, he told himself: 바카라How could the people have permitted such sacrilege without offering strenuous resistance? If I were here then I would have never allowed such things. I would have laid my life to protect the Mother.바카라
And then, goddess Kali appeared to chastise him: 바카라What, even if unbelievers should enter My temples, and defile My images? What is to you? Do you protect me? Or do I protect you?바카라 On another occasion at the Kheer Bhawani, he 바카라was brooding with pain on the dilapidated condition of the temple바카라, and wished to build a new one here as he had already done at Belur. Once again the Mother Goddess emerged: 바카라My child! If I so wish I can have innumerable temples바카라 I can even at this moment raise a seven-storied golden temple on this very spot.바카라 Her words, it is said, instantly brought an epiphany to the disciple. He felt that 바카라all my patriotism is gone. Everything is gone.바카라 He was 바카라transfigured바카라, and was 바카라now only the monk, in the nakedness of sannyasa바카라.
It바카라s unwise to expect kar sevaks to even aspire to become a monk, but they can at least add this episode to their morning prayers because the King of Dancers, when furious, is also known to perform the tandava, the divine dance with cosmic power to destruct.
