Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will attend the consecration ceremony of the Lord Ram Lala idol at the newly constructed Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple in the sacred city of Ayodhya.
The senior functionaries of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended a formal invitation to the CM during a meeting at his residence on Friday.
After the meeting while sharing his sentiments on social media, Yogi said, "Today, life has become truly blessed. My heart is filled with happiness. I extend my gratitude to the respected officials of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra Trust, Swami Govinddev Giri Maharaj, Champat Rai and Rajendra Pankaj for inviting me to the consecration program of the new idol of Lord Shri Ramlala Sarkar in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple. Jai Jai Sitaram!"
It may be noted that Goraksh Peeth has maintained a continuous association with the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mukti Yagya. During the British colonial period Mahant Digvijaynath played a crucial role in raising the issue of the Shri Ram Temple.
Following his demise, Mahant Avedyanath embraced his Gurudev's resolve, initiating a decisive struggle for the construction of the Shri Ram Temple. In 1984, when the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mukti Yagya Committee was formed in Valmiki Bhawan, Ayodhya, Mahant Avedyanath was unanimously elected as the president.
He continued to serve as the president of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mukti Yagya Committee throughout his life.
It may be mentioned that over 4,000 saints of the country and 2,500 eminent personalities will be present in this much-anticipated programme, which will be held with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's blessings on Paush Shukla Dwadashi, Vikram Samvat 2080 (Jan 22, 2024).(UNI)
