Ram Janmbhoomi Post-SCI Verdict: News and Discussion

[Tanaji]

Cant people donate via their rupee denominated NRE accounts? Do donations require Aadhar card?

I sincerely hope that the 3 year timeline is met for construction. After 2024 if NDA is not in power all bets are off. Under some pretext of the other construction will be stopped.

There's a FAQ here: https://fcraonline.nic.in/home/index.aspx

End of the day, the idea is for people outside India to not cause auditing troubles for the trust while being enthusiastic. Though the trust should definitely be questioned about why they didn't set up fcra facilities. IMO, they had plenty of time. At the same time, Modi chairs somnath trust and should have had feedback for the trust. So there could be some gremlins that we may not know about.

I guess I will have to wait for the time when I can visit in person and perhaps be able to make a donation on site in rupees.

Meanwhile folks, those who like me are willing but unable, please support efforts like that of Prachyam.

BAPS Donates for the Ram Janmabhumi Mandir, Ahmedabad, India
https://www.baps.org/News/2021/BAPS-Don ... 19618.aspx
....
Govinddevgiriji Maharaj said, “Today, we are once again gathered at the very place from where the pujan of the Ram Shila for the mandir began at the hands of Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj. The sacred journey for the Ram Mandir started from Somnath Mandir and can be regarded as the Gangotri of the Ram Mandir journey and that inspiration flows from the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir. This Sanstha embodies this nation’s necessity for sincere effort, renunciation, individual commitment and service to India. People ask ‘What can sadhus do?’ But when they see the work these sadhus have done, they will be amazed. And their work of mandir-building is outstanding. Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj had an intense inner wish that a majestic Ram Mandir be built over his birthplace.
“There are many mandirs dedicated to Bhagwan Ram. But only one mandir is possible over his birthplace. After a long struggle its construction is under way.
“Bhagwan Shri Ram was the embodiment of morality. He was a national hero. The Valmiki Ramayan states that a nation without Shri Ram does not exist. And we have no use for where there is no Shri Ram. We will create a new Ayodhya wherever Ram goes.
“Bhagwan Shri Ramchandraji was self-sufficient (atma-nirbhar). He was the embodiment of all virtues. By establishing this mandir, his divine qualities will pervade the entire country.
“All works that begin at the hands of sadhus are great. Even in other Asian countries, the spirit of Ram will be revived. We will generate faith among Hindus there that Ram is also yours. They will proudly pilgrimage to Ayodhya. By building this mandir, Ayodhya will be the cultural capital of the world and will awaken the sentiment of ‘Vasudhaiva kutumbakan’ – the world is one family.
“India is a capable nation and will use its strengths not to trouble the world but to make it a better place.”
Chief Minister Vijaybhai Rupani said, “Many years ago, Pramukh Swami Maharaj performed pujan of the Ram Shila and gave his blessings. He and, now, Mahant Swami Maharaj, have continued to support and contribute to this mandir. They have created magnificent mandirs throughout the world. The Ram Mandir will benefit from their vast experience. From the beginning, Gujarat has supported the building of the Ram Mandir. The yatra, in fact, began from Somnath. Also, the Ram Rath began from Somnath. And the Ram Shila Pujan was performed at the hands of Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj. We all wish for a speedy completion of the mandir. That we are witnesses to this is our privilege and joy.”
Thereafter, a ceremonial donation of Rs. 2,11,11,111 (Rs 2 crore 11 lakh 11 thousand one hundred and eleven) was presented on behalf of BAPS by Pujya Ishwarcharan Swami to Pujya Shri Govinddev Giriji and Chief Minister Shri Vijaybhai Rupani.
Addressing the assembly, Pujya Ishwarcharan Swami said,
“In 1968, with Yogiji Maharaj, Pramukh Swami Maharaj and Mahant Swami Maharaj, we went to the Ram Janmabhumi and chanted the dhun before the murti of Ram Lalla. Thereafter, Pramukh Swami Maharaj pilgrimaged many times to the Ram Janmabhumi to pray. He also put in much effort for this mandir. The prayers and sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of devotees is now taking shape. With the building of this mandir, the nation’s pride and heritage will be revived and echo for countless generations to come.”

The trust should think about long term and how to become an economic center comprising of all traits to support and defend Hindus. Go back to the roots and focus on instilling back. Farms to education institutes to gaushalas to ayurvedic centers. Have a goal to expand clean environment by 1km every year.

Noob question. What about the priests and their salaries etc. Will they will be paid from the collections from devotees or will they be paid (a pittance) by the government (when they collect their share of the donations)

Did not Namo or someone say : Governments should not be running business ityadi, ityadi
If so what business has the government running Temples!!!
SuSwamy should be encouraged to file more petitions in this regard in Supreme Court
Hope we get 'Mukthi from this Bandan' before NaMo goes into 'Vanaprasthashrama'
