★Kameshwar Chaupal, a resident of Bihar, had been an ordinary worker during the Ram Mandir movement. However, he was given the opportunity to lay the first brick of the grand and divine temple in Ayodhya. This event made him realize the significance of unity in the Hindu religion and he felt blessed to be a part of such a historic moment.
★During the temple movement, the saints and activists were inspired by the life of Lord Ram, who had shown social harmony by establishing friendships with Nishad Raj and Mata Shabari. They believed that in order to fulfill Lord Ram’s mission, they needed to awaken and include the marginalized sections of society. This is why Kameshwar Chaupal was chosen to lay the first brick, as a representative of the oppressed community.
★The Ram Mandir movement brought people from all castes and backgrounds together, breaking the barriers of religion and social hierarchy. The decision to have a person from the scheduled caste lay the first brick was a symbolic gesture to eliminate religious discrimination. The movement was not just for a particular community, but for every individual who believed in the principles of Sanatan Dharma. This historic event showcased the unity and inclusivity of the entire nation.
सच्चिदानंद, पटना के कामेश्वर चौपाल ने अयोध्या में राम मंदिर की पहली ईंट रखने का सौभाग्य पाया है। उन्होंने बताया कि वे मंदिर आंदोलन के समय साधारण कार्यकर्ता थे, लेकिन मंदिर के शिलान्यास में उन्हें इस काम का अवसर मिला। वे इसे सनातन धर्म की एकता के प्रतीक के रूप में मानते हैं और आगे भी प्रभु के काम में सक्रिय हैं। इसके साथ ही, उन्होंने बताया कि राम मंदिर आंदोलन में उपेक्षित वर्गों को जगाने का मकसद रहा है। उनका चयन इसी कारण किया गया है।
