NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said that there will no longer be a curfew in the new Ayodhya, instead devotional songs in the name of Lord Shri Ram, known as ‘Sankirtan’, will be sung.
The chief minister stated that bullets will never be fired in Ayodhya now, and Ram devotees will be offered laddoos instead.
He emphasised that no one will dare to stop the religious processions of Panchkosi, 14 Kosi, and 84 Kosi parikrama in Ayodhya.
Yogi expressed his views while attending a program at the chief minister’s residence, where special clothes prepared for Shri Ram Lalla by 12 lakh handicraftsmen of the country were handed over to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. He highlighted the significance of Lord Shri Ram’s name in Indian culture, stating that it is chanted in various occasions and rituals, including births, auspicious events, and even in the last journey of life.
“If there is a birth, Akhand Ramayana is recited, if there is any other auspicious event then Ramnam Sankirtan is performed. The name of Ram is chanted while sleeping, waking up, eating, in joy, in sorrow and even in the last journey of life”, Yogi said.
Speaking about the consecration ceremony of the new idol of Ram Lalla in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple on January 22, the chief minister said the event symbolizes the re-establishment of public faith and trust in Lord Ram.
Yogi praised the relentless and unwavering struggle for the cause, stating that such dedication is unparalleled.
“Without stopping, without getting tired, without wavering, without bowing down, we kept fighting with a mission. Such an example is not seen anywhere else for any other case”, CM Yogi remarked.
The chief minister also mentioned the ongoing development works in Ayodhya, stating that the city is now receiving the respect it deserves.
“There is better connectivity from Gorakhpur, Lucknow, Prayagraj, Varanasi, everywhere. We are going to start helicopter service from Lucknow soon. Today cruises are running in Saryu and the international airport is operational in Ayodhyadham. All this was unimaginable till some time back but with the grace of Ram, all this is coming true today”, CM Yogi added.
Yogi also expressed his gratitude to the 12 lakh artisans who dedicatedly prepared clothes for Ramlala, emphasizing their devotion and handing over the clothes to Swami Govind Dev Giri Ji, Treasurer of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra.
