Raipur. Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai reached Shivrinarayan, one of the holy lands of Chhattisgarh, to witness the most historic ceremony of the entire nation and the world, the occasion of the consecration of Shri Ram Lalla, where Lord Shri Ram had eaten the berries of Mata Shabari. At this place he observed the consecration ceremony and was overwhelmed. There were two overwhelming moments for the citizens of Shivrinarayan. Firstly, when the idol of Ramlala was consecrated. The second moment came when Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi mentioned Mata Shabari in his address. In his address, the Prime Minister said that when I remember my tribal mother Shabari, who lives in a remote hut, immense faith is awakened. Mother Shabari had been saying for a long time that Ram would come. This faith born in every Indian will become the basis of a capable and grand India. This is the expansion of the consciousness of the country from God and the consciousness of the nation from Ram. On this occasion, the Chief Minister said that we will improve Chhattisgarh by following the ideals of Shri Ram. It is noteworthy that the joy of Shri Ramlala’s life consecration program was visible in the entire state, even in Shivrinarayan, citizens were seen very excited in this holy moment.
On this occasion, Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai said in his address that it is a historic moment for all of us that we have become witnesses of the historic moment of the life consecration ceremony of Lord Shri Ram in Ayodhya Dham. The Prime Minister has also given a beautiful address on this occasion and has taught us through the patience of Mata Shabari.
The Chief Minister said that we all were very fortunate that we saw in detail the entire process of the consecration program of Shri Ramlala. The supernatural child statue of Lord Shri Ram was seen. We were all overwhelmed. This is a moment of happiness also because we saw all this in the holy land of Shivrinarayan, the holy abode of Mata Shabari. In one holy land we witnessed the wonderful consecration ceremony taking place in another holy land.
This good fortune is very big for us because Chhattisgarh is the maternal birthplace of Lord Shri Ram. It is the birthplace of Mother Kaushalya. Today not only India, the whole world has become Rammay. Everyone around the world is expressing happiness in different ways.
We are fortunate to have sent fragrant rice from our paddy bowl for the Lord’s offering. Rice millers of Chhattisgarh have sent this rice. It is a matter of great happiness that Ramlala’s bhog has been prepared from Nanihal’s rice.
Our team of service-oriented doctors has gone to Ayodhya and is engaged in the treatment of Ram devotees. Tomorrow itself another group will leave which will run Bhandara in Ayodhya Dham for 60 days. Today is a very auspicious moment for us in Chhattisgarh. We will work to beautify Chhattisgarh by taking inspiration from the ideals of Shri Ram.
On this occasion, Chhattisgarh in-charge Shri Om Mathur also addressed the citizens present. Shri Mathur said that today the slogan of Jai Shri Ram should reach till Ayodhya. I congratulate everyone present in this sacred program organized at the land of Shabari Mata. We all are fortunate that today we have got the fruits of 500 years of sacrifice. Our society has been egalitarian. Lord Ram never discriminated between anyone. He accepted the hospitality of the forest dwellers. This is our culture. Today is a day of pride for us.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister also released the coffee table book “Hum Sabke Ram” and the calendar “Ramo Vigrahawan Dharma” prepared by the Public Relations Department. This collection is based on the stories of Shri Ram during his exile from Ayodhya Dham to Chhattisgarh.
