MAHARISHI VALMIKI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, AYODHIA 2023
(Samaj Weekly)- The newly built airport in Ajodhya has been named Maharishi Valmiki International Airport. It is a wonderful news especially for the Valmikians because they never ever expected this to happen. For many centuries the Valmiki Ramayana has been kept under the Tulsi Ramayana’s shadow. Hatred towards Bhagwan Valmiki Ji and his followers the Valmikians has been intentionally spread.
The first change occurred when Mahatma Gandhi Ji during Independence movement chose Bhagwan Valmiki Mandir in Delhi to show of his solidarity towards the Dalits. He chose the Bhagwan Valmiki Mandir because to him Bhagwan Valmiki Ji was the God of the Dalits. Dalit roots date back to the Nagh Vansh period.
Bhagwan Valmiki Ji’s grace is also present in the Maha-Bharat. Drona Acharya Ji refused to accept Iklavia as his disciple because he was from lower caste. His refusal to his acceptance should have turned Iklavia away from him but he went and made his statue and started practising his bowman ship.
With Bhagwan Valmiki Ji’s blessing he became the best bowman of that time. With his skill he quietened a dog’s bark with his arrows fired into its mouth and the dog stayed alive. This astounded Drona Achariya and his five disciples because the dog belonged to them.
He came over to them and explained that he had shut their dog’s voice. Drona Achariya Ji instantly asked him who is your Guru? He took them to the statue with a hope that Drona Achariya Ji will give a blessing but was shocked by Drona Ji’s demand that he should donate his right thumb in Guru Dakshna.
Iklavia failed to understand that through Bhagwan Valmiki Ji’s blessing and his guidance he had become what he is. If he had understood that it was Bhagwan Valmiki Ji’s watchful eye and his guidance and not Drona Achariya’s statue then he would have ruled over all his disciples.
Drona Achariya Ji to save his and his disciples pride, he disabled Iklavia by taking his right thumb in Guru dakshana when he was not his Guru at all. This was done to save higher caste’s pride because Iklavia came from lower caste. There are signs of hatred visible in this case. Hatred against the lower castes has been ongoing since many centuries and is still ongoing today.
In some parts of India, the Dalits even today are not allowed in the higher caste temples. Those temples have been built by the lower caste labourers but upon completion they are not permitted to enter.
Now a new tale is being put into effect that Bhagwan Valmiki Ji was a Brahmin which is totally absurd and groundless. Guru Ravi Dass Ji’s Baani very clearly supports that Bhagwan Valmiki Ji was from Adhivasi origin.
Even Guru Ravi Dass Ji in his time had to face this evilness. He at that time whole heartily praised Bhawan Valmiki Ji and graced him as East Guru meaning one above all. His fight was against the Brahmins so if Bhagwan Valmiki Ji was a Brahmin then he would not have included him in his Baani.
Bhagwan Valmiki Ji’s roots date back to Sindhu Ghatti period. Through his wisdom, Guru Ravi Dass Ji knew of this so he had graced Bhagwan Valmiki Ji as an Adhivasi. He used examples of Bhagwan Valmiki Ji’s might in arguments with the Brahmin Pandits.
There are two sides to India’s history. One is Aryan and the another is Anaryan meaning the native side. Guru Ravi Dass Ji as an Anaryan was fighting against the Aryan’s created Brahminism.
About ten years ago a movement was started IK JOT DE DO PRAKASH BHAGWAN VALMIKI TE GURU RAVI DASS. It was started to promote closeness between the Valmikian and the Ravidassia communities. This poster was designed for the purpose: –
The movement has been successful. Bhagwan Valmiki Ji and Guru Ravi Dass Ji are now being jointly displayed and the gap between these two communities is closing in. On the Bhagwan Valmiki Ji and Satguru Ravi Dass Ji’s Pargat Utsabs, it is becoming a normal sight to see both displayed together. Such was not happening prior to this movement.
Getting together of the Valmikian and the Ravidassia communities is extremely important. Only through Unity an end to this Hindutva movement can be put. Not just these two but all the other communities should also endeavour to establish needed closeness. The hatred via caste difference present within the Adhivasis will have to be eliminated.
India needs closeness NOW only then it can survive through this surging Hindutva wave. The Iron lady Dr Ritu Ji and leaders like Chander Shekhar are jointly protesting on the Roads to save the Constitution.
It falls on the public to come and join the protests to save and protect the livelihood of their future generations. Without the Constitution the future of India looks very bleak. India needs you NOW so please come out and be part of these protests.
Jai Bharat.
