There was excitement about the Ayodhya movement by going to the Sangh branch. Other friends were preparing to go to Ayodhya for the car service on 6 December, when I was not getting permission to go home. I came to the station without clothes and empty pockets. When the housemates got a clue, the elder brother came to the station and gave him some money in front of his insistence. Me and my friends brought a brick from Ayodhya. During this time, he took a vow that till the grand temple is built, he will not marry. It was somewhere in the mind that the atmosphere is favorable, in two-four years the temple will be built and what is its age now. After coming to Bhopal and giving verdict at home, there was a lot of scolding, But keeping his point, he played an active role in Vidyarthi Parishad and RSS in Bhopal for about 12 years i.e. 2004. He then became a full-time campaigner in 2004. In 2007, he became a full-time organization minister in Vishwa Hindu Parishad. These days I am writing a book on my Narmada travels. Ravindra is now preparing to announce his retirement shortly.
