Krishnadas Ji Maharaj Illuminates Ram Janam Katha
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 at the Maharshi Ashram since the commencement of the Prayagraj Mahakumbh in 2025. Today, on Friday, Vedic Pandits gathered to participate in this sacred ritual at the Maharshi Ashram, located on the banks of the Sangam in Arail, Prayagraj, to seek blessings from the divine Rudra.
Alongside this event, renowned Katha Vyas, Acharya Shri Krishnadas Ji Maharaj began today’s Shri Ram Kathamrit Pravah program with a prayer at the holy feet of Lord Rama. In today's discourse, Krishnadas Ji Maharaj recounted the tale of Ram Janam, focusing on the dialogue between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
Goddess Parvati, eager to learn about Lord Rama, beseeched Lord Shiva to enlighten her, expressing her desire to dispel her doubts and ignite the lamp of devotion for Rama. Lord Shiva, recognizing the significance of Parvati's questions for the benefit of all, emphasized the role of a guru in dispelling ignorance. He likened the purifying power of Ram Katha to the sacred Ganges River, which cleanses all who immerse themselves in it.
Lord Shiva explained that whenever sinfulness prevails on Earth, the divine takes human form to restore balance. He detailed the circumstances leading to Lord Rama's birth, citing the curses of Jay-Vijay, Tulsi Maiya, Narad Ji, and Manu Maharaj. The deities chose King Dasharatha's Raghu dynasty as the most suitable lineage for Lord Rama's incarnation. Following the counsel of Guru Vashistha, King Dasharatha performed the Putreshti Yagna. The divine offering from the yagna was shared among his three wives, leading to the pregnancy of Queen Kaushalya. Finally, on the auspicious day of Chaitra Shukla Navami, Lord Rama was born.
In the evening, a delightful cultural program was held by Maharishi Vidya Mandir, Hardoi, at Maharishi Ashram. The festivities began with a captivating Ganesh Vandana dance, followed by a performance of the Indian classical dance form Kathak. The audience was further enchanted by the powerful Shiv Tandav dance. Students from MVM Hardoi recited the Shiva Rudrashtakam, which was then followed by the song ‘Bharat Ka Rehne Wala Hu’.
The highlight of the evening was a divine dance performance set to the song ‘Navami Navami Shiv Charno Main,’ which beautifully depicted the pride and culture of India. Another graceful dance portrayed the profound love between Lord Krishna and Radha. The performance of ‘Bharat Anokha Raag Hain’ showcased the rich culture and heritage of India through superb dance.
The cultural program concluded with a vibrant performance celebrating the culture, festivals, and traditions of various states of India. Many esteemed guests attended the event and expressed their appreciation for the Maharishi organization’s efforts.
The Shri Ram Kathamrit Pravah will continue until February 4. All the events and programmes are being broadcast live on Ramraj TV. The live telecast is also available on Ramraj TV's YouTube and Facebook channels.
