India is gearing up for Lord Rama's 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony that is scheduled to be held on January 22 in Ayodhya Ram Mandir. Preparations of the much-awaited event are in full swing and over 7000 guests have been invited to attend. The long guest list includes cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, billionaire industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, South Superstar Rajinikanth and many others.
Ahead of the consecration, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has posted a number of Ram Bhajans on his Twitter handle- the latest one being the one sung by Geetaben Rabari, titled 'Shree Ram Ghar Aaye'. Sharing the bhajan, he wrote, "The wait for the arrival of Ramlala in the divine-grand temple of Lord Shri Ram in Ayodhya is about to end. My family members across the country are eagerly waiting for his 'pran pratishtha'. This bhajan of Geetaben Rabari ji to welcome him is very emotional."
Previously, he had also shared bhajans sung by Swasti Mehul and Jubin Nautiyal and has been really appreciative of both of them. Sharing the melodious tune sung by Swasti, PM Modi had said that it keeps resonating in the ears for a long time and fills the eyes with tears and the mind with emotions.
Talking about Jubin, he had written, "On the auspicious occasion of the consecration of Lord Shri Ram, the entire country along with Ayodhya is celebrating Rammay. This welcome bhajan of Jubin Nautiyal ji, Payal Dev ji and Manoj Muntashir ji, filled with devotion to Ram Lala, is heart touching…"
