Ayodhya Ram Mandir
Ayodhya Ram Mandir: Prime Minister Narendra Modi undertook an 11-day spiritual trip in preparation for the much awaited ‘Pran Pratishtha’ event at the Ram temple. This came after a series of strenuous religious practices. Acharya Satyendra Das, the Chief Priest of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, provided insight into the painstaking customs, which involve sleeping on the floor, eating off of leaves, and reciting mantras.
Priest Acharya Satyendra Das told news agency ANI, “The person who does ‘anushthan’ has to do prayshchit (penance).” The rules state that he cannot lie and must sleep on the floor. He must eat on a leaf, bathe twice a day, recite mantras like the “Gayatri mantra,” and adhere to “Brahmacharya.” A Yajmana must adhere to these standards.”
