The excitement is reaching its crescendo as the date of the consecration of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya approaches. In US, many car rallies have been organized to show enthusiasm and support for the newly built Ram Mandir. On coming Sunday, 21st January, at 3 pm, the rally will start from Patel Brothers, passing through Gurudwara in Hicksville and culminating at AsaMai Temple in New York.
Another grand car rally was organized in Edison, New Jersey by Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America’s New Jersey chapter.
The ‘pran pratishtha’ or consecration will take place on 22nd January, Monday in Ayodhya. Many leaders and celebrities have been invited to this event which will be watched throughout the world through live webcasts. Prime Minister Modi, who is fasting and following a 11-day special ritual in the run-up to the Pran Pratishtha of Ramlala at the temple at Ayodhya Dham on 22nd January, noted the feeling of Ram Bhakti immersing the whole nation in the run-up to the Pran Pratishtha. Calling this moment a blessing of the almighty, he said “I am overwhelmed with emotions! For the first time in my life, I am going through such feelings, I am experiencing a different feeling of devotion. This emotional journey of my inner self is not an opportunity for expression but for experience. Even though I want to, I am not able to put into words its depth, breadth and intensity. You can also understand my situation very well.”
