The consecration ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya will be a “great moment of joy for everybody.” On this day, about 4000 prominent saints of all Hindutva traditions, prominent officials of VHP and senior social, cultural and creative leadership of the country will participate in Ayodhya.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Central working President and senior advocate Alok Kumar said that Deepawali marks the celebration of Bhagwan Sri Ram’s return to Ayodhya after 14 years, but on January 22, 2024, the world will be celebrating the second Diwali when Ram ji will return to his birthplace after 500 years, at the time of ‘Amrit kaal’ of Bharat’s independence. Therefore, it is necessary that the entire Hindu society from around the world should directly participate in this ‘Pran Pratistha’ ceremony.
All Ram devotees cannot be called to Ayodhya on the same day, therefore, our call is that Hindus all over the world should consider the temple in their locality or village as Ayodhya and gather there, perform puja, worship, and rituals as per the tradition there, chant the ‘vijay maha mantra’ “Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram” given by the revered saints, watch the live telecast of the grand divine programme of Ayodhya, offer prayers and Aarti and join hands to share prasad and enjoy this historic event by witnessing it.
The VHP Working President said in a press conference held in Delhi that the pious ‘Akshat’ (yellow rice) kalash sanctified in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple on November 5, 2023 has been sent to 45 provinces formed as per the vision the organisation’s structure. Taking this invitation on the call of Teerth Kshetra Trust, the workers of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, along with other Hindu organisations, will visit Hindu families in the cities and villages of the country between January 1 and 15, 2024. A similar programme has also been organised for Hindus living abroad.
Along with this invitation, we will also give a picture of Bhagwan Ram, and His temple, with other necessary information to each family, to be kept in puja . Our assessment so far is that this event will definitely take place in more than 5 lakh temples across the world and millions of Hindus will participate in it.
This time we are not going to the society to seek anything. Therefore, the teams or workers engaged in this work will not accept any gift, donation or other materials.
He also said that lakhs of Hindus have participated in the campaign to liberate Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, that has been going on since 1984. Many liberation warriors who sacrificed their life for this cause are no longer in this world, and their families would want to see the fulfilment of their dream. For this purpose, VHP has categorised the country into 45 provinces and requested that each province visit Ayodhya on a fixed day between January 27 and February 22. Arrangements have been made for darshan for about 1 lakh people.
He called upon every Hindu family to light at least 5 lamps on the auspicious night of January 22, 2024 and visit Ayodhya with family and friends on any day thereafter. Vishwa Hindu Parishad is confident that this temple of Ram ji will spread harmony, unity and self-respect among the Hindus across the world and will emerge as a national temple to take Bharat towards its ultimate glory.
