Swami Vishwaprasanna Tirtha, a trust member, also told PTI that preserving the temple is a bigger task than constructing it.
Ahead of the consecration ceremony at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, a senior member of the temple trust has urged people to select names for their children from Hindu texts and called for "imparting culture". Swami Vishwaprasanna Tirtha, a trust member, also told PTI that preserving the temple is a bigger task than constructing it.
"The dream that we envisioned for centuries has been fulfilled. But one should not assume that our responsibilities are over. Our thoughts should be that for how many years the temple remains in that form of a temple and that no one is able to harm it again," he said.
"Till the time our children remain Hindus and the Hindus exist as the majority, the temple will exist as a temple. See what happened in Afghanistan, where statues of the Buddha were destroyed," he added, referring to the destruction of Buddha sculptures in Bamiyan.
