Qatar imposed death sentence to 8 Indian Navy personnel saying they are spies; but Indian PM Narendra Modi commuted the sentence through his influence and ultimately they are released and back in India now.

Now United Arab Emirates allowed Modi’s friends to erect largest Swami Narayan Temple. Scoundrels in Indian Mass Media and Opposition political parties in India use Muslims as weapons to destroy India. But world Muslims salute Modi; not only Muslims but also Jews in Israel, Christian countries around the world elect Modi as the top most leader in all the surveys.

Anti Indian and Anti Hindu scoundrels in the BBC, CNN, Al Jazira, NY Times and London Times constantly attack India and in particular PM Narendra Modi. This si because Modi stopped all foreign fuding to Christian cheats in India.

Press is angry because Modi never give them monthly party like Indira Gandhi and her predecessors; Modi never take three plane load of Press and TV scoundrels like Mrs Indira Gandhi. Journalists are like dirty pigs that roll in drainages (author of this article, London swaminathan, was a senior Sub Editor for 16 years in Madurai and BBC Broadcaster for six years in London; author of 116 books in Tamil and English).

After 2024 election victory Modi will become Kalki Avatar and destroy evil forces in India and abroad.

When the largest Swami Narayan temple was opened by Modi today 14-2-2024, Arti was done at the same time in 1200 Swami Narayan Temples around the world. Whenever Modi is mentioned, it is aways a Record Book Entry, which we saw on January 22, 2024 when Ram Temple in Ayodhya was opened.

We can expect more miracles in 2024 after the election.

Indian Muslims who are led by bad people should learn a lesson from world Muslims.

God must provide Narendra Modi a long life. Every Indian should pray everyday for good people to win the elections and lead us in the right direction.

Bharat Mata Ki Jai.

Abu Dhabi Temple Facts

UAE has scripted a golden chapter in human history, says PM Modi at inaugural event of BAPS Mandir in Abu Dhabi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the UAE has written a golden chapter in the history of human history.

Addressing the gathering at the inaugural event of BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi, PM Modi said that this temple will be a symbol of unity & harmony. The role of the UAE government in the construction of the temple is commendable, he said.

“Today, the United Arab Emirates has written a golden chapter in human history. A beautiful and divine temple is being inaugurated here. Many years of hard work has been involved behind this moment. The blessings of Lord Swaminarayan are attached (to this occasion)”

The Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) temple in Abu Dhabi was built after UAE allocated land for its construction following Modi’s first visit to the country in 2015

VISHNU, SHIVA, AYYAPPA

The idols of deities include Lord Ram and Sita, Lord Shiva and Parvati, Lord Jagannath, Lord Krishna, Lord Swaminarayan, Tirupati Balaji and Lord Ayappa. The BAPS mandir is the first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi and the largest in the Gulf

The Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) Hindu Mandir has been built on a 27-acre site in Abu Mreikhah, near Al Rahba off the Dubai-Abu Dhabi Sheikh Zayed Highway.

It costs around Rs 700 crore. 

According to the temple authorities, the grand temple has been built as per an ancient style of construction and creation mentioned in the Shilpa and Sthapathya Shastras, Hindu scriptures which describe the art for mandir design and construction.

 “The architectural methods have been clubbed with scientific techniques here. Over 300 high-tech sensors have been installed at every level of the temple to measure temperature, pressure and movement (seismic activity). The sensors will provide live data for research. If there is any earthquake in the region, the temple will detect it, and we will be able to study,” Swami Brahmaviharidas, head of international relations for BAPS, told PTI.

No metal has been used in the construction of the temple and fly ash has been used to fill up the foundation, replacing 55 per cent of cement in the concrete mix, reducing the carbon footprint of the temple.

But what do we know about the idols?

As per News18, the entrance to the temple has eight idols — representing eight values central to the Sanatan Dharma.

Lord Ayappa, Lord Tirupati Balaji, Lord Jagannath, Lord Krishna and his wife Radha, Lord Hanuman, Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati and children Ganesh and Karthik, and Lord Ram and his wife Sita are among the deities.

Intricate carvings illustrate the lives and teachings of these deities.

As per Indian Express, the Ayappa idol was made by Ananthan Achari and his son Anu Ananthan at Parumala in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district.

“We are very proud about being associated with the temple. We have made idols and dhwaja stambha (flag pole) for hundreds of temples. But the opportunity to make the idol for BAPS temple is really a blessing of Ayappa,” Anu was quoted as saying.

Anu said the idol is the largest panchaloha, an alloy comprising gold, silver, copper, zinc, and iron, in the world.

Constructed with 18 lakh bricks, seven lakh man hours and 1.8 lakh cubic metres of sandstone sourced directly from Rajasthan — Abu Dhabi’s first Hindu temple has been made in the Nagara style of architecture, just like the recently inaugurated Ram Temple in Ayodhya. According to Umesh Raja, a volunteer at the temple, 20,000 tonnes of sandstone pieces were carved in Rajasthan and then shipped to Abu Dhabi in 700 containers.

The UAE has three other Hindu temples that are located in Dubai.

Eight Idols, Seven Shrines
The temple is built on a 27-acre plot of land donated by the UAE government in Abu Mureikhah, near Al Rahba off the Dubai-Abu Dhabi Sheikh Zayed Highway.

The sprawling structure has a prayer hall with the capacity to hold 3000 people, a community centre, an exhibition hall, library and a children park.

The BAPS Mandir is surrounded by meticulously crafted ghats and features of Ganga and Yamuna Rivers. The temple has two central domes namely the Dome of Harmony and the Dome of Peace.

The entrance of the temple is marked by eight idols, which symbolizes eight values foundational to the Sanatana Dharma. Additionally, the temple space also featured stories from ancient civilisations …such as Maya, Aztec, Egyptian Arabic, European, Chinese and African all captured in stone. Tales of Ramayana can also be found on the structure.

The temple houses seven shrines, each dedicated to different deities hailing from North, East, West and South parts of India.
