"I have returned as a changed person, carrying Ayodhya in my heart – a place that can never be distant from me," he said.
PM Modi also highlighted the importance of President Murmu's letter, saying that it provided 'emotional' strength to him.
"Your letter provided invaluable support and strength to manage and align my emotions. I undertook a pilgrimage to Ayodhya, a sacred land where the confluence of faith and history left my mind stirred with numerous emotions. Being a witness to such a historic occasion is both a privilege and a responsibility," he further wrote.
"Becoming a participant in the culmination of these fasts that have lasted for centuries is a very emotional moment for me, and I consider it my good fortune. The moment of direct Darshan of Lord Rama with 140 crore citizens, the interaction with him, and the welcome by the people of Bharat were unparalleled. This moment was made possible by the blessings of Lord Shri Rama and the people of India, for which I will always be grateful," PM added.
While connecting Lord Ram's teachings with the upliftment of the tribal societies, he lauded PM Janman's scheme for its significant contribution to uplifting the marginal sections of Indian society.
"As you mentioned, we not only worship Lord Shri Rama, but we also draw inspiration from him in every aspect of life, especially in social life. You discussed the impact of PM Janman's initiative on the empowerment of the extremely backward tribal society. Who can understand this better than someone connected to tribal society? Our culture has always taught us to work for the most disadvantaged sections of society. Campaigns like 'PM Janman' are bringing significant changes in the lives of the people of the country today," PM said in his letter.
"Lord Shri Rama, in every chapter of his life, gave the mantra of everyone's support, everyone's development, everyone's trust, and everyone's effort. The power of these thoughts is showing results everywhere today. In the past decade, the country has successfully lifted nearly 25 crore people out of poverty. The eternal thoughts of Lord Shri Rama are the foundation of the glorious future of India. The power of these thoughts will pave the way for a developed India for all of us by the year 2047. The magnificent temple of Shri Rama will continue to inspire us towards success and the establishment of new standards of development," PM further added.
