Somnath is not just a temple; it is the soul of India’s civilization.For over a thousand years, the Somnath Jyotirlinga has stood as a witness to India’s highs and lows. Despite being attacked and demolished more than 10 times by foreign invaders, it rose every single time—stronger, grander, and more majestic. In this episode of #FridaysAtMyGov, we explore the extraordinary journey of Somnath—from the historic resistance of our ancestors to the iron will of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in 1947, and now to the visionary leadership of PM ‪@NarendraModi‬. Discover the secrets of the 'Baan Stambh' (Arrow Pillar) that points directly to Antarctica, the spiritual energy that gives "goosebumps" to millions, and how Somnath has become the center of India’s modern cultural resurgence.
