इस दिवाली का विशेष महत्व है। 500 वर्षों के संघर्ष के बाद, भगवान राम प्राण प्रतिष्ठा के पश्चात अयोध्या में दिवाली का साक्षात्कार कर रहे हैं। कई पीढ़ियों ने इस दिन का इंतजार किया। हम सौभाग्यशाली हैं कि इस क्षण को देख पा रहे हैं। आइए मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम भगवान राम की प्रशंसा करें, जिन्होंने हमें सभी से प्रेम करना और हर प्रयास में असीम धैर्य रखना सिखाया। ru-vid.comsBb8GFl9zUI
