Guiding Light: Building The Ram Mandir – A Victory For Indigenous Religions

Building the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was not only a historic moment for the Hindus, but for all indigenous religions all over the world.

It was around 3 C.E. that Christianity took over Constantinople. From that time onwards one of the greatest iconoclastic movements in the western world started. Temples after temples were destroyed all over Rome, Greece, and the surrounding areas.

In the seventh century when Islam came into the picture, the destruction of temples were taken to another level, and these are by their own accounts.

In the almost 2000 years that followed no Greek has managed to build or reclaim a temple of Apollo. No Roman has reclaimed or rebuilt a temple of Jupiter. No Egyptian has reclaimed a temple for Porus. The list is endless. The civilisations of the Mayans, the Aztecs, the native American Indians have all been wiped out.

Nowhere in the world has any temple or any structure been reclaimed and rebuilt by any of the indigenous religions. At best there are remnants of architectural ruins that the world and the indigenous religion wonder about.
