Coming out in more praise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for spreading the word on India’s growing global profile and prestige in the far corners of the country on the campaign trail for the Lok Sabha elections, expelled Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam said the construction of the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi was “nothing less than a miracle”.
PM Modi had presided over the inauguration of the Mandir earlier this year.
In a self-made video that he shared on May 1, Acharya Krishnam said he had a ‘darshan’ (sighting of the deity) at the first Hindu Mandir in the Emirates.
“I am in Abu Dhabi right now and will head to Dubai from here. I had a darshan at the (BAPS) Mandir in Abu Dhabi, which was inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi in February. This is no less than a miracle. UAE is an Islamic country and the raising and inauguration of such a sprawling Hindu Mandir here is nothing short of a miracle. I commend Narendra Modi for the way he has been spreading the word on India’s global prestige and position not just in the far corners of the country but across the world,” Acharya Krishnam said in the video on May 1.

“Today, the entire world is looking at India. Our country has had several Prime Ministers since independence and every one of them had their own style of functioning. However, seldom did any Prime Minister make us proud to be Indians like PM Modi has. Sadly, our opposition leaders are hurling abuses at PM Modi, hatching conspiracies against him and even putting today deep-fake videos against leaders of his party (Union Home Minister Amit Shah),” the expelled Congress leader added.

The majestic BAPS Mandir was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 14. Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence for the UAE, Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahyan, was also present at the inauguration.
The BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi is the first traditional Hindu stone temple in the Middle East. It stands as a testament to the enduring friendship between India and the UAE and embodies the spirit of cultural inclusivity, interfaith harmony, and community collaboration.
The Mandir in the UAE sits on 27 acres of land generously gifted by the Emirates’ leadership. Standing tall at 108 feet, the BAPS Hindu Mandir is not only a symbol of spiritual devotion but also a marvel of engineering and craftsmanship.
