The tale of Two Prime Ministers, a blast and a rebuild.
Bhagavān Sreerāmakrishna Paramahamsa revealed to the world how death in Kāshi gave Mukthi.
He describes seeing Lord Shiva sitting by the head of the corpse on the pyre and chanting Tāraka Mantra (Rāma) in its ear.

Sitting at the foot of the corpse, Dēvi Pārvati removes each of the five mantles of Māya (Kala, Kāla, Rāga, Niyati, Avidya) from the Jīva.
With the Tāraka Mantra infused and the veils of Māya removed, the Jīva lives and dies many times in a split second and attains Mōksha.

This is how sacred and important the Mahāshmashāna - the burning ghats of Kāshi are.
Now the tale of the first PM.
In 1986, Rajiv Gandhi ordered to replace these pyre grounds with electric crematorium under GAP. Clean Ganga was NOT the only reason as you know.

Hindus were highly stressed as pyres were not freely allowed for a time.
I have heard from the Doms and priests of Kāshi that they would stealthily burn a proper pyre and smear that ash on the Lord.
Every practising Hindu was pained at this act of the 'secular' government.

The irony was that for a man who thought burning pyres was making Ganga and Kāshi dirty, he didn't have enough of his own body to burn. Unfortunate.
30 years later, another PM took over Kāshi. This time to restore, to give new life - not only to Kāshi, but to the whole universe.

As our Puranas say, Kāshi is the most ancient city in the world, and it is the real centre of the universe.
@narendramodi Ji's renovation and restructuring of the Lord's abode par exceeds collective efforts of Kings and Queens over hundreds of years.

Every time we restored it, destructive forces broke it. It was not easy to achieve what Modi Ji has.
As our Prime Minister opens the Kāshi-Vishwanāth corridor tomorrow, he will be carrying the blessings of the dead, the living, and the unborn souls of India.
Har Har Mahādev!
