The consecration of Shriram’s Idol in Ayodhya is the beginning of Ramrajya (Hindu Rashtra) in the subtle !

Thoughts of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale (Founder of Sanatan Sanstha)

The Pranapratishtha (Consecration) of the Idol of Shriramlalla (Shriram as a child) is going to be held on 22^nd January 2024, in the magnificent Shriram Temple in Ayodhya. Consequently, Ayodhya will start emitting the vibrations of Shriram not only across Bharat, but all across the world. In a way, this is the subtle manifestation of Deity Shriram. Ramrajya descended on Earth when Shriram was crowned the King of Ayodhya. There is a spiritual principle – The event occurs first at the subtle level before it occurs at the gross level. Hence, the Pranapratishtha of Shriram’s Idol in Ayodhya will mark the commencement of the Ramrajya, that is, the future ‘Hindu Rashtra’.

I was last in Maharashtra in 2005 on my final tour to meet seekers. During that tour, I told the seekers – ‘I shall not be able to meet or guide you personally in your respective Districts. Seekers should not have doubts regarding which Name (of God) to chant in future, so I would like to clarify this now itself. Presently, the mission of reinstating Dharma is to be accomplished (in the Year 2005), so chant Deity Shrikrushna’s Name (Om Namo Bhagawate Vasudevaya |). Once the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ is established, chant Shriram’s Name (Shriram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram |), so that the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ emulates the earlier Ramrajya !’

With regards to chanting, seekers should continue to follow these instructions.

After Independence, three generations contributed directly to the construction of the present Shriram Temple in Ayodhya. Millions of families donated wholeheartedly to this cause. On behalf of the Athavale family, I too donated some amount for the bricks required for the construction. I had even preserved the donation receipt for many years. The intention was that in future when the Shriram Temple is built, I shall be able to tell the coming generations that our family also played a minor part in its construction.

Like the construction of the Shriram Temple, the mission of establishing the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ will span 3 generations. I had written regularly in Sanatan’s Texts and Sanatan Prabhat Periodicals that the establishment of the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ will commence between 2023 and 2025. Now that Bharat has the Divine blessings of Deity Shriram, the mission of establishing the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ will receive a boost and the actual task of establishing it at the physical level will be completed over the coming 5 to 7 years. However, two more generations (meaning, the ensuing 50 years) will have to strive to make the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ ideal like the Ramrajya.
