Raipur. Lord Shri Ram resides in every particle of the land of our Chhattisgarh. We have Rajim, which is called the Prayag of Chhattisgarh and Kharoud, which is called the Kashi of Chhattisgarh. It was my good fortune that we all witnessed the program of Pranapratishtha of Lord Shri Ramlala from Shivrinarayan, the holy land of Mata Shabari in Janjgir-Champa district. On January 22, it will be one year since the Pranapratishtha of Lord Shri Ramlala in Ayodhya Dham. This date is one of the biggest days of cultural pride for all of us. When our illustrious Prime Minister Narendra Modi did the Pranapratishtha of Lord Shri Ramlala, it was a very emotional moment for all of us. Modi also bowed to Mata Shabari in his address on this occasion. Mata Shabari’s affection for Lord Shri Ram makes us all emotional. These words were said by Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai while addressing the inauguration-bhumi pujan ceremony organized in Janjgir Champa district.Chief Minister Sai said that people of Ramnami community, who worship formless Ram, also live in this region, who have Ram in every fiber of their being. Prime Minister had also invited them to the Prana Pratishtha ceremony of Ramlala. After the Pranapratishtha of Shri Ramlala in Ayodhya Dham, when I went to see Ramlala along with the cabinet, I also presented berries of Shivrinarayan. We have started Shri Ramlala Ayodhya Dham Darshan Yojana, through which till now more than 20 thousand devotees of the state have visited Ayodhya Dham, Kashi Dham.
