When Lord Shri Ram was born in Ayodhya, it is believed that all the sacred pilgrimage sites manifested there. On one side, Lord Ram took birth, and on the other, the Indradhanush Auditorium resounded with chants of “Jai Shri Ram” from the audience.
Chandigarh/Panchkula:
On the second day of the Ramleela organized by the voluntary organization “Jadon Se Judo” (Stay Connected to Roots) at Indradhanush Auditorium, Sector 5, Panchkula, glimpses of several divine episodes were enacted. These included King Dashrath performing the Yagya for progeny, the birth of Lord Ram, his childhood pastimes, and the liberation of the cursed Ahalya from the stone. The audience was left mesmerized by these performances.
During the celebration of Lord Ram’s birth, the hall reverberated with enthusiastic chants of “Jai Shri Ram”. Spectators were seen rising from their seats, eagerly capturing photographs on their mobile phones of the scenes of Ram Lalla (infant Lord Ram), swaying with devotion and joy.
Speaking about the second day’s Ramleela performance, the organization’s founder Ekta Nagpal and Arun Sood shared that the event was graced on Wednesday by esteemed chief guests including Suman Saini, wife of the Chief Minister of Haryana; Banto Kataria, Vice President of BJP Haryana; Pramod Kumar, representing Samajik Samrasta North Zone; and Mahamandaleshwar Sonakshi Ji Maharaj. These dignitaries encouraged and applauded the all-women cast for their powerful performances.
Suman Saini, wife of the Chief Minister of Haryana, said:
> “Naumi Bhaum Baar Madhumaasa, Avadhpuri Yeh Charit Prakaasa. Jehi Din Ram Janam Shruti Gaavahin, Teerath Sakal Tahaan Chali Aavahin.”
(On the ninth day of the month of Chaitra, on a Tuesday, this divine event took place in Ayodhya, and it is believed that on that day, all pilgrimage sites gathered there.)
She added that such a phenomenon is only possible when God Himself descends upon earth. Therefore, the holy city of Ayodhya is supremely sacred for all Hindus, and I bow again and again to the soil where Maryada Purushottam Lord Ram was born. At that time, the joy of the townspeople knew no bounds as they witnessed Lord Vishnu Himself incarnated in the form of Shri Ram.
Banto Kataria, Vice President of BJP Haryana, said:
“Just as Shri Ram eliminated the divisions of caste, creed, high and low, rich and poor, king and subject, and established an ideal of social harmony in His life, we too should regard this as worthy of respect and emulation. This is the essence of Ram Rajya. If we imbibe Ram’s qualities, our society will become like Ram Rajya. Let us begin this transformation from our own homes. Let us bring into our lives and teach our children the high ideals of Shri Ram, the virtues of Sita Mata, and the noble conduct of Lakshman, Bharat, Shatrughna, and Hanuman. Such a life is the true path toward attaining the grace of the Lord.”
Pramod Kumar, from Samajik Samrasta North Zone, extended greetings on the auspicious occasion of Lord Ram’s birth and said:
“The way in which all the women are performing the roles in this Ramleela is truly commendable. From little girls to elderly women, each has enhanced the beauty of the Ramleela with their indomitable spirit and dedication. Gradually, more and more local residents are gathering in large numbers to witness these performances, which is the result of the hard work of these artists. I extend heartfelt congratulations to all the organizers for this achievement.”
