The impending inauguration ceremony for the Ram Temple is approaching, and Prime Minister Modi has pledged to observe an 11-day fasting period leading up to the event on 22 January 2024. 

In 2019, the Supreme Court of India ruled in favor of allocating the disputed land court citing a report from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) indicating the presence of a non-Islamic structure beneath the Babri Masjid for the construction of a temple for Hindus, with Muslims receiving an alternative piece of land to build a mosque. A groundbreaking ceremony “Bhoomi Puja” for the initiation of Ram temple took place on 5 August 2020, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the temple’s inauguration is scheduled for 22 January 2024.

As a part of his #ShriRamBhajan series, PM Modi has been sharing various artistes’ rendition of Ram Bhajans, some even from across the world.

Here are some of the bhajans he shared.

Prime Minister Modi also shared a soulful rendition of Sri Ramachandra Kripalu Bhajaman by Soorya Gayathri from the famed Kuldeep Pai’s stable that is still popular after so many years, PM Modi wrote, “Today, when there is an atmosphere of joy everywhere regarding the welcome of Shri Ram Lala in Ayodhya Dham, this praise of Suryagayatri ji is going to fill everyone with devotion.”

He also shared a Ram Bhajan titled “Har Ghar Mandir, Har Ghar Utsav” and a post stating, “After centuries of waiting, the moment of auspicious time is near in Ayodhya Dham. On this auspicious occasion, the praise of Lord Ram is echoing everywhere from North to South and from East to West. You will experience this atmosphere of faith and devotion through this presentation. #ShriRamBhajan”

This bhajan “Har Ghar Mandir Har Ghar Utsav,” performed by Divya Kumar with music composed by Siddharth Amit Bhavsar and expressed that the long-awaited moment of auspicious time is approaching in Ayodhya Dham after centuries. 

Following that, he shared a rendition by a visually challenged artist, Cassandra Mae Spittmann from Germany who gained prominence in Instagram with her devotional renditions.

He also shared Ashwath Narayanan’s rendition of Arunachala Kavirayar’s “Yaaro Ivar Yaaro,” a notable cover of the Rama Natakam, adds a distinctive touch to this Tamil opera. Authored by the revered Tamil poet Arunachala Kavi during the 18th century, the Rama Natakam draws inspiration from Kambar’s and Valmiki’s Ramayana, offering a captivating portrayal of the legendary King Rama of Ayodhya.

Intriguingly, this opera aligns more closely with the Tamil version than its Sanskrit counterpart, both in terms of spiritual concepts and the intricate nuances of the storyline. Ashwath Narayanan’s interpretation breathes new life into the timeless narrative, infusing it with his unique musical style and emotional depth. Through this rendition, the essence of Arunachala Kavirayar’s poetic brilliance and the cultural richness of the Rama Natakam resonates, bridging the temporal gap and captivating contemporary audiences.

PM Modi then shared Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna’s rendition of “Paluke Bangaramayena” stands out. This renowned Telugu  devotional song, also known as “Sri Ramadasu Keerthanalu,” was composed by the saint-poet Bhadrachala Ramadasu in the 17th century to extol Lord Rama. Adored by devotees, this song is frequently sung in temples and homes, especially during auspicious occasions.

On 16 January 2024, the Prime Minister showcased Sivasri Skandaprasad from Tamil Nadu. He highlighted Sivasri’s rendition of the divine Kannada song “Poojisalende Hoogala,”. He wrote, “This rendition by Sivasri Skandaprasad in Kannada beautifully highlights the spirit of devotion to Prabhu Shri Ram. Such efforts go a long way in preserving our rich cultural heritage. #ShriRamBhajan” 

On the 76th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi outlined the “Panch Pran” (five resolves) aimed at realizing the dreams of freedom fighters for the nation by its centenary in 2047. These five pledges include fostering a developed India, eradicating remnants of the colonial mindset, embracing our rich legacy with pride, strengthening unity, and fulfilling citizen duties with unwavering honesty. 

Numerous noteworthy mentions can be found in his accounts, spanning across the entire geographical spectrum from north to south, east to west. His commitment to sharing insights into diverse cultures, arts, and distinct languages serves as a responsibility to cherish the longstanding glory. The aim is to bring this wealth of knowledge to every corner of India, with a particular focus on reaching the youth. The intention is to enlighten them about their rich cultural heritage, fostering a sense of pride and connection with their roots.
