Krishnadas Ji Maharaj highlights ‘Sita’ Swayamvar and exile of Shri Ram
PRAYAGRAJ [Maha Media]: Under the divine guidance of Ved Vidya Martand Brahmachari Girish Ji, the daily recitation of the 1331 Rudrashtadhyayi and havan has been taking place. On Monday, Vedic Pandits gathered at the Maharshi Ashram, located on the banks of the Sangam in Arail, Prayagraj, to take part in this sacred ritual and seek blessings from the divine Rudra.
In addition to the recitation and Havan, renowned Katha Vyas, Acharya Shri Krishnadas Ji Maharaj, began the sixth day of Shri Ram Kathamrita Pravah with melodious 'Ram Kirtan.' The beautiful singing and the strong chanting of Mantras filled the auditorium with devotion.
Today's story in Shri Ram Kathamrit Pravah was focusing on the auspicious marriage of Shri Ram and Sita. The Katha Vyas Krishnadas Ji Maharaj recounted that Lord Shiva's bow was kept in King Janak's court. One day, while cleaning the house, Sita picked up the bow and moved it to another spot. King Janak was amazed because no one could lift the bow. He promised that Sita would marry whoever could string it. The king then set a date for the Swayamvar and invited all the kings and princes to the marriage.
At the Swayamvar, many tried to lift the bow, but none could do it. With his Guru's permission, Shri Ram lifted the bow and tried to string it, but it broke. King Janak's messenger then informed King Dasharath, who traveled to Janakpur with Bharat, Shatrughna, and Gurudev Vashishtha. In Janakpur, Bharat married Mandavi, Laxman married Urmila, and Shatrughna married Shrutikirtika. Finally, Sita and Ram got married with great celebration. As soon as Mother Sita put a garland on Lord Ram, the gods started showering flowers on them.
Acharya Krishnadas Ji Maharaj shared the story of Shri Ram's exile after his marriage. King Dasharath announced Yuvraj Ram as his successor, and Ayodhya eagerly awaited his coronation. However, Mother Kaikeyi requested that Shri Ram be sent into exile and that Bharat be crowned instead.
King Dasharath granted her wishes, leading to Shri Ram’s 14 years of exile. He accepted this fate without question, and both Mother Sita and his brother Laxman chose to accompany him. Despite Ayodhya's readiness to follow, Shri Ram honored his father's word and set off into the forest to fulfill his promise. The devotees were enchanted by the story of Lord Ram. On this occasion, prasad was distributed. The Shri Ram Kathamrit Pravah will continue until February 4.
MVM Rewa held its second-day cultural program at Maharishi Ashram in the evening. The program started with a group song. After that, the students performed a solo dance. The audience enjoyed a heartfelt Kathak dance as the event continued. Next, they were entertained by a beautiful Ghoomar, a Rajasthani folk dance. The students then showcased their talents with a performance of Ram Darbar, accompanied by a peaceful song called "Manavta Jayegi Shantidaata Ke Pass," which touched the audience. Another dance performance depicted the love between Lord Shiva and Parvati, captivating the crowd. The evening wrapped up with a fantastic performance of “Mahakaal Arti,” followed by a group dance celebrating the glory of Bhoolenath.
