Statue of Equality is the world’s most intriguing and valuable structure. This is evident, especially in the current situation. We are witnessing racial discrimination and experiencing disputes over territories despite having to deal with severe illness and deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic.
When everyone understands that all are equal in the eyes of God, one will not feel superior over another based-on colour. One nation will not want dominance over another by occupying existing territory borders. The root cause for any kind of dispute or difference is the desire to dominate. When God is the only supreme power and the rest of all are siblings, will one nation suppress another? Will one sect dominate another? No!
Let’s all give this message boldly to the entire world, and for the future generations. This is the message that Ramanujacharya shared and practiced with everyone 1000 years ago and will stand as inspiration forever.
