   Ayodhya a bonded or bonding solution?

   Much has been said and written by religious zealots including maulvis, mahants, Imams and Shankaracharyas, a great deal has been conjured up by politicians, loads have been unleashed by the media which only has sought to tease a festering sore of a man on the street.
   Is the issue so intractable, so complex and so unyielding that eludes a honourable solution for all? To find a solution, one has to question the misgivings we harbour about the religious practises of others. One needs to discard repugnance one nurses for a fellow being born into a different faith to win over Brahmin, Shudra, Shia or Sunni to the side of Almighty, there being no other side. What if Prophet Mohammed was born into a Christian or Christ into a Hindu household? Is oneself not a Hindu, Muslim or Christian because one’s parents gave birth to them as such? How cramped Hindu God would be that barely controls a hundredth fraction of our small little planet? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind.
   Wars fought for supremacy that uncompromising Moslem marauders brought upon natives of yore saw most return to their lands due to hostile climate, leaving in place those baptized into their faith who today fail to foresee untold miseries let loose upon their own vanquished ancestors due to prolonged lapse of memory and who they do no longer themselves unfortunately identify with, wishing to relive the pristine glory of medieval period. Resurgent Hindus on their part with freedom in their lap without blood-shed, seem to behave as newer war lords feeling weighed down under the piety and mysticism that they identified with, all this while.
   Solution is possible if only a religion as a solute has the impulsion to dissolve itself into a universal solvent that has power to embrace any other solute to dissolution. Each of such solutes that lack power to dissolve itself along with all other solutes into the same solution naturally throws up a blemished response. Would we therefore be wise as Hindus to confine the boundless powers of Ishwar as embodied in Lord Rama to a supposed underside of Ayodhya within which other solutes fail to dissolve? Those flogging Janambhoomi as a vanished toy that our beleaguered ancestors could not clasp to enliven pristine glory of ancient era need to look into cosmos to find Him. And does the Allah, as a solvent into which one such solute of Islam alone dissolves, possess powers enough to dissolve such other solutes to a solution?
   It is not usual that a difference of opinion within one’s household would bring the erring couple to divorce. Can any sane person in today’s global hamlet continue living in a watertight compartment based on a singular sect or faith without compassion for other humans persuading them to reaching Almighty only as he or she perceives? World has indeed been reduced to a village, what is yet amazing is that the same entity that the Almighty happens to be, continues to be viewed with perspectives so wide apart and modes so varied in attainment.

   (Cast away your intransigence to incarcerate within your devout precepts the one who makes as many suns shine as are drops in your deep seas and as many earths habitable as are atoms on your lonely earth, and make the time timeless and space infinite for yee to comprehend, come unto Him child, and unshackle mind from the crevice of your practise to attain salvation. How blissful could yee be when vision deserts your conscience while confining Almighty within folds of Allah, Ishwar, God while they happen to be a microcosm of a tiny existence within His mind which has infinite names given to ‘Him’, given the gender yee be acquainted with, by infinite animates in an infinite universe that yee cannot fathom given the conscious that has been bestowed upon yee.)

   The need of the hour therefore is to hoist an architectural marvel that is bonded as a singular edifice with a spectacular facade, a new expression of the world, with different dominating religious works of art, integrated within its core into a massive momentous central dome of brotherhood, to symbolise converging of the entire world into a global village. The creation would bring visitors from the world over to its new sanctum sanctorum. While its Masjid segment could face Mecca, the lot of Mandir could face the Sun. Underneath such an exterior manifestation, one could craft a massive inter-communicative theological hub of scholastic dimensions that could draw the intelligentsia and religious scholars from the entire globe to study and spawn new soldiers of The Almighty. Are we ready to become the proud owners of such an edifice that can be called the newest wonder of the world?

   Can all those strident voices for once abandon primitive attitudes and pull themselves out of the present impasse to rise to reconciliation as just about the only solution?
