Nationwide Shriramnam Sankirtan Abhiyan by Sanatan Sanstha ahead of Shriram Lalla’s consecration ceremony
Everyone should perform puja, prayers and Shriramnam Sankirtan with the spiritual emotion that Deity Shriram himself is coming to your home – Appeals Sanatan Sanstha
Mumbai – From 16th to 22nd January, a series of rituals, including the consecration ceremony of Deity Shriram, will take place at the Shriram Temple in Ayodhya. Hence there is an atmosphere of joy and excitement throughout the country. On this auspicious occasion, Sanatan Sanstha will organise Shriramnam chanting and prayers to Shriram for the establishment of Ramrajya and the glorification of Shriram through the nationwide ‘Shriramnam Sankirtan Abhiyan’. Additionally, Sanatan Sanstha has appealed that every action should be performed with the spiritual emotion that Deity Shriram himself is coming to your home. We should express our gratitude at the feet of Shriram for the good fortune of witnessing the consecration of Shriram. Also, gratitude should be expressed to those Kar-sevaks who sacrificed their lives to liberate Shriram Janmabhoomi.
To derive greater spiritual benefits from the Deity Shriram principle, booklets about Shriram, Sanatan-made pictures of Shriram and chanting strips featuring ‘Shriram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram’ are also available. All Shriram devotees should take advantage of it. Additionally, Sanatan Sanstha has extended an appeal for active participation in various events, such as the Kalash Yatra and the Akshata distribution programme.

1. Between 15th and 21st January, assemble at any nearby temple and engage in collective chanting of ‘Shriram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram’ for a minimum of 30 minutes.
2. Additionally, guide the assembled devotees on how to imbibe the qualities of Deity Shriram for about 5 to 10 minutes.
