As we eagerly await the historic Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony, a special moment within it holds profound significance—the ‘Abhijeet Muhurat.’ Picture this as the eighth time window of the day, stretching for 48 minutes between sunrise and sunset.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to partake in the pran pratistha ceremony from 12:29:03 pm to 12:30:35 pm. Now, why are these 84 seconds so extraordinary? Well, they fall within the broader 48-minute ‘Abhijeet Muhurat,’ a daily occurrence that holds spiritual importance.
On January 22, the Abhijeet Muhurat will unfold from 12:16 pm to 12:59 pm, and the pran pratistha ceremony will gracefully take place within this time frame when the sun is at its zenith.
What is ‘Muhurat’ in Ram Mandir Ayodhya Pran Pratishtha?
But why this particular time? According to Hindu scriptures, it all ties back to the birth of Lord Ram, said to have occurred in the auspicious abhijeet muhurat. The alignment with Mrigashira Nakshatra, Amrit Siddhi Yoga, and Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga adds layers of divine significance.
In preparation for this momentous event, pre-consecration rituals commenced a week prior on January 16. Prime Minister Modi, displaying deep devotion, observed an 11-day satvic ritual—sleeping on the floor and sustaining on fruits and coconut water.
As we approach the pran pratistha ceremony, set to commence 10 minutes earlier at 12:20 pm and possibly extend till 1 pm, these 84 seconds will be the pinnacle. Within this brief yet sacred timeframe, the essence of the ceremony will unfold, guided by the beliefs rooted in Hindu traditions.
This event isn’t just about rituals; it’s about connecting with ancient practices and honoring the spiritual essence embedded in each moment. Prime Minister Modi’s active participation in the rituals further underscores the depth and significance of this historical event that resonates with the soul of millions.
