The nationwide anticipation for the consecration of the Ramlala statue is reaching its zenith, marked by the exuberance of tableaus adorned with "Jai Shri Ram" slogans and the arrival of dignitaries, including prime minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, at Ayodhya.
Amidst this grand celebration, the significance of showcasing glass during Ramlala's consecration holds profound cultural and spiritual roots in ancient Hindu beliefs. According to these beliefs, when consecrating the idol of a god or goddess, it is imperative to shield it from external impurities. Glass is regarded as a transparent material, symbolizing purity, as it prevents any external impurities from reaching the idol. This practice underscores the sacredness of glass in the ritual.
Additionally, during the consecration ceremony, it is believed that a divine power in the form of shakti enters the statue, and this power is unleashed when the deity's eyes are opened. The scriptures describe a moment of profound energy release, often accompanied by a bright light. Displaying the statue behind glass serves as a symbolic representation of this event. The power emanating from the statue is thought to be so potent that the glass itself breaks, signifying an auspicious occurrence.
The consecration of Ramlala's statue is not just a ceremonial event; it marks a historic day, drawing crowds of thousands to Ayodhya. As the pran Pratistha program unfolds, people across the nation are expressing their joy in various ways, and millions are witnessing the event through different mediums. Approximately eight thousand VVIPs are participating in this historic program, with prime minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the pran Pratishtha ceremony, adding to the significance of this momentous day.
