RVM (founder): “RVM was a true believer from the young age of 8. He was 27 when this dream came upon him. He didn't have much wealth at that point of time. Along with his father Vashi, he was running retail stores which had grown over the last 5–6 years to a reasonably successful business….”

Always a pleasure to see such magnificent statues of Mahadev.

Namaste.

Yes, temple and murti builders, financers and householders are the greatest citizens when they contribute and inspire projects that establish the Divine Art and divinity of temples, sculpture, architecture and parks that glorify Hinduism.

I challenge billionaire Hindus to keep in mind an opportunity for those grihastas and business men, royals and political leaders, along with everyone that one day, perhaps sooner than imagined, a statement of the Divine will be erected on the moon.

In fact, it seems some rich Jains are considering the opportunity at the earliest feasible chance, to place a statue of one of the Jain arhants on the moon.

While it is not practical to do so at this moment, the very blessed in Lakshmi and success, and the innovators and scientists, keep this challenge in mind to be the first to raise a beautiful art of the Divine glory of Hinduism on the moon. It is possible to feed the poor, and also give beauty to the world as the next long journey is made.

One day, a statement of the Divine will rise on the moon. It will happen, and it will have profound effect on the thoughts and vision of the common man all across nations. What will that object of religious inspiration be? Bhagavan Gomateshwara Bahubali? A cross? The Buddha? An Islamic minaret? Or shall it be a Shiva Lingam, or murti to Brahma, Siva or Vishnu, Devi or perhaps the Om, what example of Hindu beauty as a gift to the world?

Or should we hope for Swayambhu?

Om Namah Sivaya

Lord Shiva looks magnificent, this statue does bring out the devotion. A great work! I wish there was similar statue for Sri Ranganatha, lying down on AdiSesha in the milky ocean. I do know there is such a statue in Bangkok airport (however of Bhagwan's Kurmavatara) but I do not know of any such statue being present in India.
