As Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir celebrated Ram Navami, ‘Overseas Friends of Ram Mandir’ US distributed more than 101 kg of ‘Raghupati Laddoos’ brought from Ayodhya to the United States and then further distributed them to devotees across the globe as ‘prasad’.
“Of the total number of this special Indian sweet, 101 kg laddoos were distributed among devotees of Bhagwan Ram and Hanuman in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Norway, Canada, and UAE,” said OFRM (US) founder Prem Bhandari.
The ingredients for making these laddoos have been sourced from Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir while Prem Bhandari paid a visit to the Mandir.
The community leader visited the Mandir for the first time with former Indian Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla. During this visit, Prem Bhandari also met with Champat Rai, a key person in the realisation of the centuries-old Ayodhya Ram Mandir.
A lifetime’s experience to visit the #AyodhyaRamMandir and offer prayers. Our friend @PremBhandariNYC ji offered 500 kgs of ladoos to mark each of the 500 years that #BhagwanRam was away from his home until the #PranPratisthan ! Jai Sri Ram 🙏 pic.twitter.com/ZN1nFnL0Lh

“Prem has been instrumental in spreading Sanatan Dharma even though he lives in America,” Champat Rai added.
“After visiting the historic Ram Mandir, I had an idea to bring back laddoos to the United States, with a thought of further distributing it to other devotees across the world,” Prem Bhandari told ANI.
“More than 100 boxes have been dispatched, and some have been distributed in person in New York,” in addition to that in Rajasthan Association of North America RANA’s annual Holi sneh Milan function, Ayodhya Prasadam was distributed to over 400 people,” Prem Bhandari also said.
