By LokMarg

With the onset of the summer season and rising temperature, Ram Lalla, the revered deity of the Ayodhya Temple has transitioned to wearing comfortable cotton attire from Saturday.

Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra posted on X, “The vastra that Prabhu is wearing today is made of handloom cotton malmal, dyed with natural indigo, and adorned with gotta flowers.”

This shift to lightweight and breathable fabric reflects a thoughtful consideration for the deity’s comfort during the sweltering months ahead.

Ram Lalla, a revered 51-inch idol depicting the youthful form of Lord Rama, affectionately known as “Balak Ram,” has been sculpted from a rare three billion-year-old black stone by the skilled Mysuru-based artisan, Arun Yogiraj.

The Pran Pratishtha ceremony for this divine idol took place on January 22, 2024.

Meanwhile, ahead of the upcoming Ram Navami festivities, the Hanumangarhi temple administration held a meeting on Friday to discuss the arrangements for devotees, temple officials said.

The district administration of Ayodhya and the police were also present at the meeting, they said.

The officials discussed provisions for drinking water and arrangements with special attention to the provision of toilets to ensure that devotees’ feet do not burn in the summer heat.

The meeting by the Hanumangarhi temple administration took place after a few devotees fell unconscious owing to heat and a lack of water.

The meeting saw the participation of senior saints of Hanumangarh, the National President of Sankat Mochan Sena Sanjay Das, Ayodhya Mayor Girishpati Tripathi, the Circle Officer of Ayodhya, senior police officers and officials from the Municipal Corporation.

Police administration and Ayodhya Mayor have assured that the visitors will not face any problems and that all arrangements will be in place during Ram Navami for the ease of the devotees.

Thousands of devotees converged at the Ram temple in Ayodhya on Saturday morning for a divine darshan of Ram Lalla.

People were seen moving in long lines to catch a glimpse of the deity.

Mohit Chauhan, a devotee, expressed his contentment after a darshan of Ram Lalla, saying, “The darshan was wonderful and peaceful for me. By the grace of God, I had darshan yesterday evening and again this morning. The temple is magnificent. After 500 years, Lord Ram has arrived, and now He will remain enthroned here for an eternity. The sighting of the deity is being facilitated within 15 minutes through a continuous and smooth flow of the devotees queuing up. There are no issues or hassles. Everyone is joyously chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ during the sighting of the Lord.”

Anupa Nayak, another devotee from West Bengal, also shared her experience at the newly inaugurated Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

“The darshan was wonderful and the general ambience around the temple is very peaceful. I just want to say that everyone should come here and have a darshan of Lord Ram. I will go back to my village and encourage everyone to visit the temple. We are a group of 1600 people from Bengal, who came here via a special Ashtha train. Everything, including food and facilities, is being taken care of here. The security arrangements are also flawless,” Nayak said.

Echoing the refrain, Sanjay Mishra from Chennai exuded immense joy, saying, “I am extremely happy to be here today. The penance and sacrifice of devotees over 500 years was palpable as I bowed to the Shri Ram inside the sanctum sanctorum today. It feels wonderful to be here. I don’t have words to describe my feelings. The arrangements are excellent, and there is a peaceful atmosphere all around. Everyone is chanting ‘Ram Jai Shri Ram.’ I faced no hassles during the darshan. There were no issues at all.”

Another devotee, Deep Kumar, praised the efficient management, with devotees being able to have darshan in just 20 minutes despite the anticipated crowds.

“The darshan was wonderful. We arrived here late last night. We didn’t expect such a comfortable experience because everyone was saying it would be crowded. However, despite the crowd, one can have darshan in just 20 minutes. There’s a distinct aura of reverence around when you go for a darshan of Lord Ram. The ambience is excellent. The government has made excellent arrangements here, with separate arrangements for the safekeeping of phones and shoes,” Deep Kumar said.

Earlier in the day, devotees took a holy dip at Sangam in Uttar Pradesh on the occasion of Magh Purnima, the full moon night in the Magha month of the Hindu calendar.

Devotees also offered prayers at the Sangam, a confluence of three rivers- Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati.

Kalpavas, which lasts for one month from Paush Purnima, also ends today.

Kalpavas is a spiritual ritual under which for a month the Kalpavasi sleeps on the ground on the sand of Sangam, takes a meal once a day, observes austerity, and chants the name of the Almighty.

Speaking on ANI at Sangam in Uttar Pradesh, Prabhadevi, a devotee from Mirzapur district said, “I came here for a month-long Kalpvas, and today, on the day of Purnima, my spiritual journey is complete. I’ve been here since January 24th. Yesterday, I also performed Sija Daan, and tomorrow I will return home. I sought forgiveness from Mother Ganga for all my mistakes.” (ANI)

Following the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya Ram Temple, there has been an upsurge in tourist inflow to visit the temple.

“The resort aims to enhance the facilities available to tourists and guests, thereby contributing to the overall growth of tourism in the region.

By LokMarg

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the newly-constructed temple is a symbol of national consciousness and the ceremony held on Monday to unveil the idol of Ram Lalla is also the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of human values and highest ideals.

Addressing the gathering after Pran Pratishtha of the idol of Ram Lalla here, PM Modi said that Lord Ram is the faith of India, the country’s foundation, its India and glory.

He said devotees of Lord Ram are completely absorbed in this historic moment which is “divine and holiest of all”.

“This is a temple of national consciousness in the form of Ram. Ram is the faith of India, Ram is the foundation of India, Ram is the idea of India, Ram is the law of India. Ram is the prestige of India, Ram is the glory of India…Ram is the leader and Ram is the policy. Ram is eternal. When Ram is honoured, its effect does not last for years or centuries, its effect is for thousands of years,” he said.

The Prime Minister said that the sunrise of January 22 has brought a wonderful glow.

“January 22, 2024, is not a date written on the calendar. It is the origin of a new time cycle,” he said.

PM Modi referred to the legal dispute over Ram Janambhoomi in Ayodhya which lasted decades and expressed his gratitude to the judiciary “for doing justice” .

The temple of Lord Ram, synonymous with justice, was also built in a just manner…Ram Lalla will not stay in a tent now. He will stay in the grand temple,” he said.

PM Modi said while it is an occasion to celebrate, it is also a realisation of maturity of Indian society.

“Today the land of Ayodhya is asking some questions to all of us, to every Ram devotee, to every Indian. The grand temple of Shri Ram has been built, now what next? The wait of centuries is over, what next? On this occasion of today, will we bid farewell to the gods and divine spirits who have come to bless us and are watching us? No, not at all. Today I feel with a pure heart that the cycle of time is changing,” he said.

“It is a happy coincidence that our generation has been chosen as the architect of a timeless path. The generation after a thousand years will remember our efforts of nation-building today.That’s why I say – this is the time, this is the right time. From today, from this sacred time, we have to lay the foundation of India for the next thousand years,” he added.

The Prime Minister said devotees of Lord Ram are completely absorbed in this historic moment.

“The devotees of Prabhu Ram, in every corner of the country and the world, are deeply feeling this. Today our Ram has come…After waiting for centuries our Ram has arrived. After centuries of unprecedented patience, countless sacrifices, sacrifices and penance, our Lord Ram has arrived,” he said.

“This moment is divine, this moment is the holiest of all! After the Bhoomi Pujan of Ram Temple, enthusiasm and excitement were increasing every day in the entire country,” he added.

The PM also said that Lord Ram is connected to the soul of India.

“Lord Ram resides in the hearts of Indians. Today, Ayodhya has not only witnessed the Pran Pratishtha of the sacred idol of Prabhu Shri Ram, but also the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of the unwavering faith in Indian culture manifested in the form of Prabhu Shri Ram. Today, what has happened in Ayodhya is also the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of human values and the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of the highest ideals!” he said.

PM Modi also sought forgiveness from Lord Ram for the delay in the construction of the temple.

“Today, I apologise to Lord Ram as something was lacking in our love and penance due to which this work (construction of Ram Temple) was not done for so many years. However, that gap has been bridged today and I am confident that Lord Ram will forgive us,” PM Modi said.

The Prime Minister walked into the temple premises with a silver ‘chattar’ (umbrella) placed on a red folded dupatta.

Wearing a cream-coloured kurta teamed up with a cream dhoti and patka, he took ‘Sankalp’ for the “Pran Pratishtha ceremony” and later moved to the sanctum sanctorum for the rituals.
