AYODHYA: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad will make all arrangements for the consecration ceremony of Ram Temple in Ayodhya to be held from January 21 to January 23 next year. The management team will be led by senior RSS leaders Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi and Dattatreya Hosabale.
A two-day high-level meeting of the VHP started in Ayodhya on Sunday. VHP international working president Alok Kumar said that in the run-up to the consecration ceremony, Bajrang Dal will take out Shaurya Yatras between September 30 and October 15.
Kumar said that before the consecration ceremony, Bajrang Dal will take out 2,281 Shaurya Yatras to connect with more than five lakh villages of the country. “During these yatras, religious meetings will also be organised on the yatra routes. This great campaign of youth power will create unity and resolve in the form of social coordination in the Hindu society to face the internal and external challenges,” he said.
On that day of the consecration ceremony, Kumar said, puja, yagya, havan and aarti will be performed in the monasteries and temples across the country. “Also, Ram devotees in every house will light five lamps in the night and prasad will also be distributed among crores of devotees,” he said.
Kumar said that the VHP plans to make the event a festival where people living in India and abroad can participate.
“During the Diwali fortnight, seers of the country will take out foot marches and hold meetings in villages and cities to mobilise people for the event. The collective power of our temples, maths, ascetics and priests will make the event memorable,” the VHP chief said.
All the VHP leaders present in the meeting decided to give this movement a comprehensive format. Before the meeting, the participants observed the intensive construction work going on at the Ram Janmabhoomi site and also had the darshan of Ram Lalla.
