Ayodhya, Jan 22 (Reporter) Jagadguru Rambhadracharya on Monday said his situation is similar to Vashisth Rishi's when Lord Ram returned after 14 years of exile. "I am still emotional. Today my situation is similar to Vashishth's situation when Lord Ram returned after 'vanavass' (exile). What more should I say," he told reporters after Ram Lalla's consecration ceremony in Ram Janmabhoomi temple here. Ramabhadracharya refuted the claims of Opposition against Lord Ram's existence and the land belonging to Him in Ayodhya by citing Hindu scriptures and works of Tulsidas. These citations profoundly influenced the 2019 verdict of Supreme Court in favour of Lord Ram, affirming Rambhadracharya's testimony. In his affidavit, Rambhadrachrya described Ayodhya as a city holy to Hindus and the birthplace of Ram. He also cited verses from two works of Tulasidas – eight verses from the Doha Shataka which describe the destruction of a temple and construction of a mosque at the disputed site in 1528 CE, and one verse from Kavitāvalī which mentions the disputed site. Rambhadracharya was born as Giridhar Mishra, in the small village of Shandikhurd, in Uttar Pradesh. He is widely respected as a spiritual leader, philosopher and scholar. His spiritual journey commenced in his early years and he showed remarkable talent in both academics and religious studies. With a strong grasp of Sanskrit scriptures, he quickly earned acclaim as a knowledgeable scholar of Vedic literature...////...
