Govind Dev Giri Maharaj, the Treasurer of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra, shared on Tuesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had specifically requested him for Lord Ram's 'charnamrit' (a sweet drink made with milk used for rituals) on Monday. According to the seer, PM Modi, who broke his rigorous 11-day fast after the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, separately asked for 'charnamrit' instead of the originally planned honey with a few drops of lemon juice in water to end his fast.
In recounting the incident, Govind Dev Giri Maharaj expressed a sense of motherly love during the moment, describing it as if he were offering the sacred drink to his son and breaking his fast. He emphasized that while the initial plan was for PM Modi to have one meal a day, the Prime Minister chose to abstain from solid food throughout the entire 11-day ritual.
During the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony, PM Modi stated that the consecration of the idol of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya signifies the beginning of a new era. He called upon the people to look beyond the construction of the Ram temple and actively contribute to laying the foundation for a strong, grand, and divine India that will endure for the next 1,000 years.
