IRINJALAKUDA
UNIQUENESS
A
temple for Bharat? Incredible! Impossible!! Unheard of!!! Sure,
unimaginable in this materialistic modern world, where Mammon
worship has taken precedence over the ever adorable virtues of
dedication, selflessness and gratitude of eternal significance. The
very recognition more than conception of the glorious role Bharata
played, and the monumental sacrifice he demonstrated deserve
whole-hearted obeisance.
And
any aspiration aimed at the perpetuation of that memory through a
shrine, accessible to all classes of people with a view to radiating
selflessness, instill brotherly kinship, inculcate loyalty and
inspire renunciation with a mere single sight, is beyond the powers
of common imagination, and merits prostrations, not once, but times
numberless. Of the characters portrayed by that celebrated Adikavi
Valmiki, depiction of Bharata's role is peerless; of course, comes
next to that of Rama's for delineation of such immortal character in
that masterly way, the creative faculty of all ages, all countries
and all forms in its entirety bends its head!
