The ground floor of the grand temple of Ramlala is ready. The craftsmen who have contributed like squirrels in making the temple divine, grand and beautiful are proud of their luck. Everyone had their own dreams and how they came true has very interesting stories.
Let us know the stories of Satyanarayan Pandey, one of the three sculptors who created the idol of Ramlala, and Purnachandra Maharana, who made the idols in other parts of the temple. In a special conversation with Mahendra Tiwari, these sculptors said… The dreams we saw are coming true.
Satyanarayan got busy in sculpting the idol of Hanuman and Ramlala who came in his dream.
Satyanarayan Pandey of Rajasthan has prepared one of the three idols of the child form of Ramlala. He has also made other idols including Garun and Hanumanji for the temple, which have been installed. He claims that before making the idol of Ramlala, Hanumanji appeared to him in his dream. Not only this, when the idol was ready, the Lord appeared in a dream to the young Brahmin who was narrating the Vedas and asked for water for himself.
Out of millions of stones, one emerges, from which the statue is made.
Satyanarayan says, I came to Ayodhya during Diwali in 2022. Met a VHP leader in Karsevakapuram. I had brought two small idols of Ramlala to present to CM Yogi Adityanath. Presented both the idols there. There was a discussion with him on making the idol of Ramlala. When he came to Jaipur, he showed the old stones of father’s time. It was a very beautiful stone, 10 feet long, four feet wide and three feet thick. Such stones turn out to be one in millions. He took a piece of that stone and went away. Champat Rai and others liked it. As soon as the message was received, the stone was sent. Then called me. Instructions were given to come to Kanak Bhawan to have darshan of God. There I saw that the stone from which the statue of Shri Ram Sarkar is made, my stone was also from the same mine. This stone is from Padkuan belt in Makrana, Rajasthan. There is a 15 year old idol of the Lord in Kanak Bhavan. Ram and Sita were married at the age of 14-15. The 5 year old child form of the same idol was to be incarnated.
