A momentous occasion is upon us – on January 22nd, Ayodhya will witness the Pran Pratishtha of Lord Shri Ram, marking a historic chapter in India's spiritual landscape. But what exactly is this sacred ritual, and why does it hold such profound significance?

The Science of Pran Pratishtha

?

Pran Pratishtha, literally translating to "Establishment of life force," is a Hindu ceremony where an idol of a deity is consecrated and transformed from a mere figure into a vessel of divine energy. Through mantras, offerings, and meticulous rituals, the "Pran," or life force, of the deity is invoked and infused into the idol, rendering it capable of receiving prayers and bestowing blessings upon devotees.

Roots in Mythology: Lord Ram's Guiding Light

?

The relevance of Pran Pratishtha goes beyond mere tradition, finding deep roots from the history. Remember when Lord Ram was stranded at Rameshwaram, sought a way to Lanka? He performed the Pran Pratishtha of a Shiv ling, inviting Lord Shiv's presence and guidance. After Rama installed the Shiv ling, he playfully asked Hanuman to move it. Despite his immense strength, Hanuman found himself unable to budge the idol. This event solidified the Shiva lingam's presence and served as a powerful reminder of Rama's devotion and the significance of Pran Pratishtha.? This act not only established Lord Shiva there but also guided him towards creating the Ram Setu. The Ram Setu believed to have been built by Shri Ram’s vaanar sena. Studies conducted by Madras and Anna Universities, reveal the Ram Setu to be nearly 18,400 years old, suggesting a possible correlation between the bridge's existence and the ancient power of divine energy

Have you ever wondered how this infusion of energy might work?

While the concept of infusing an idol with divine energy might seem mystical, it possesses an intriguing scientific connection. Vedic scriptures describe the universe as an intricate dance of energy, where everything vibrates at specific frequencies. Pran Pratishtha, through its chants and rituals, is believed to create a specific harmonic resonance that attracts and channels celestial energy into the idol.

Here's my experience of pran pratistha that I have shared in my book Entrepreneur with the fire within. “I have felt the presence of the Almighty on numerous occasions in my life,

strengthening my belief in him. My understanding grows with each passing experience, and so does my faith that whatever happens, happens for a reason. I have witnessed a lot of miracles and life-changing incidents happen to me at the Hanuman temple at Ramshej in Ashewadi near Nashik.

Little did I know that a visit from Chetan Chandole, one of my team members, would be life-changing for me. He was accompanied by a sadhu who needed my help. When I asked him how I could help him, he said, “I have built a small temple at Ramshej. My problem is that I go to the Himalayas once a year, and there is no one to look after the deity in my absence. I need someone to take charge.” On his insistence, I visited the place and felt a tremendous surge of energy. It was an ancient temple, situated right behind the Ramshej fort, which has a lot of history behind it, having witnessed the 7-year long battle between the great Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Aurangzeb. The temple was dilapidated and in need of resurrection. I took up the task and finally did the Pran-Pratishtha on the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti on 18th April 2009. After the puja was over, I headed straight to my girlfriend’s house, where I was in for a rude shock. She came out and told me that the relationship was over. I told myself that if till yesterday everything was fine and today after the Pran-Pratishtha

it changed suddenly, then there had to be a reason behind it. No one in the world could have convinced me to get rid of the girl; maybe that was the reason god stepped in himself. Today, I’m convinced that I wouldn’t have known her true nature had it not been for god’s blessings. Whatever happens, happens for the best, and we may not like it today, but later on, when the dots get connected, we thank the Almighty for taking care of us” With the upcoming Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya, many believe we are not just consecrating an idol but inviting the very essence of Lord Rama back into the human realm. The energy that once inhabited Rama's human form, though not physically present, is believed to exist in a different dimension. Through this ceremony, we aim to channel that divine energy back into the idol, rekindling its power and presence for generations to come.

Do you think this could be a coincidence, or is there a deeper connection between Pran Pratishtha and the guidance of divine forces?

?

The impact of Pran Pratishtha extends far beyond the physical realm. Individuals who have witnessed or participated in such ceremonies often report profound personal transformations and I have been a witness myself. the Pran Pratishtha I did gave me way of my life.

It helped me to overcome so many things that were going wrong in my life and I got right direction. The collective energy, the unwavering faith, and the sense of devotion create a powerful environment that can provide clarity, direction, and even emotional healing.

They believe that infusing the Ram Temple with Lord Rama's divine energy will usher in a period of peace, prosperity, and righteousness. Whether this translates into tangible societal changes remains to be seen, but the ceremony undoubtedly represents a moment of immense spiritual significance and collective aspiration.
