Expansion
If you want to have a daily darshan of Ramlala, then your desire will now be fulfilled. Ram Mandir Trust is soon going to issue passes for daily darshan of Ramlala. A separate line will also be made for daily darshan. However, the visitors will have to follow all the safety standards. Sadhus and saints have appreciated this initiative of the trust.
Ram Mandir Trust member Dr Anil Mishra said that the trust is preparing a list of such saints and common people who want to have daily darshan of Ram Lalla. A seven-member team has been formed for this work. The saints are being contacted and asked to fill the form. Copies of their Aadhar cards are being taken. Passes will be issued to them in the coming days. Necessary guidelines will also be mentioned in the pass.
Common Ayodhya residents will also be able to get passes
If common Ayodhya residents also want to have daily darshan of Ram Lalla, they can contact the office of Ram Mandir Trust. However, the facility of accepting applications in the trust office has not been started yet. Soon the facility of registration will be started by deploying the trust personnel for this.
The saints welcomed the decision of the trust
Jagadguru Ratnesh Prapannacharya, who played an important role in preparing the worship method of Ram temple, has welcomed the decision of the trust. He also talked to the trust for this. He said that the identity of Ayodhya is its spirituality and sadhana tradition. The sadhak saints were disappointed due to the breaking of the tradition of daily darshan. Now they will be able to see the deity again. Pandit Kaushalyanandan Vardhan had been visiting Ramlala, Hanumangarhi and Kanak Bhawan daily for about 30 years. The tradition of daily darshan of Ramlala was broken for the last few months. He also congratulated the trust and said that it seems that the trust is also committed to following the traditions of Ayodhya.
The tradition of daily darshan was broken due to the crowd
Saints say that daily darshan of the deity is also a spiritual practice. There are a large number of saints in Ayodhya who have been visiting Saryu bath, Ramlala, Kanak Bhawan and Hanumangarhi daily for a long time. Apart from saints and sages, many common people also visit the three Peethas daily, but after the Pran Pratishtha of Ramlala, due to the increase in the crowd of devotees, the tradition of daily darshan of Ramlala by saints and sages was also broken. Whenever they go, they have to stand in line for hours to have darshan.
There is no ban on applying charanamrit and sandalwood: Trust
Ram Mandir Trust says that there is no ban on giving charanamrit and applying sandalwood. Ram Mandir Trustee Dr. Anil Mishra said that the traditions of Ram Mandir which were there earlier are still the same today. There is no tradition of applying sandalwood to the devotees. This is not even practically possible, because more than one lakh devotees visit Ram Mandir daily. How can sandalwood be applied to them. It is certain that all the devotees who are present in the afternoon aarti are given charanamrit. The priests also apply sandalwood to some devotees, these include common people as well as the elite. This cannot be banned. Arrangements have also been made to give prasad to every devotee on the Darshanpath.
