The document discusses the religious and cultural significance of Ram Setu, a bridge mentioned in the Hindu epic Ramayana. It notes that visiting Ram Setu (Setu Darshanam) brings great spiritual rewards or punya according to Hindu scriptures. However, the Indian government's plans to dredge the area as part of a shipping canal project have been controversial due to the bridge's heritage value as an ancient religious site. The document encourages sharing photos of Ram Setu and forwarding the message to others for prosperity and blessings.
3. Punya of Setu-Darshanam
As per Skanda Purana
(1) One who does Setu
Darshana, attains the
liberation
(2) Even the cattle on
the earth and stars in
the sky, might be
possible to count, but
the Punya born of the
Setu-darshan are
uncountable
4. Punya of Setu-Darshanam
Punya of Setu-Darshanam as per Skanda Purana
(continued)
(3) One, who has had the darshan of the famous Setubandha
which is like the appearance of all the Gods - who can count
for his puNyas!
(4) Why! Just by having the darshan of Setu, they achieve the
fruits of performing all the Yagyas of tradition, of bathing in
all the teerthas, and of practicing all the penances.
5. The Power Of Shri Ram Setu
As part of Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project (SSCP),
Indian Government initiated the process for cutting open the
ancient Shri Ram Setu. Destruction of Shri Ram Setu will
have impact on environment, impact on flora & fauna, possibility
of Tsunami, washing away of Thorium, Threat to security. Inspite
of the public sentiments (Ram Setu being evidence & proof of
Ramayana), heritage value of the bridge (as defined by UNESCO),
Indian Government wants to go ahead with the dredging of this
ancient bridge.
But look at the glimpse of Power of Shri Ram Setu Damage of Dredger Aquarius while at work

6. A Rhyme On Shri Ram Setu
Look, love, the unconquered sea behold,
King Varun's home ordained of old,
Whose boundless waters roar and swell
Rich with their store of pearl and shell.
O see, the morning sun is bright
On fair Hiranyanabha's height,
Who rose from Ocean's sheltering breast
That Hanuman might stay and rest.
There stretches, famed for evermore,
The wondrous bridge from shore to shore.
The worlds, to life's remotest day.
Due reverence to the work shall pay,
Which holier for the laps of time
Shall give release from sin and crime.
