In a significant development, 600 kilograms of pure desi ghee has arrived at Kar Sevak Puram in Ayodhya, all the way from Jodhpur’s famous Goshala. This ghee will be used in the auspicious aarti during the consecration of Ram Lalla’s idol.
The uniqueness of this ghee lies in its origin as it is derived from the milk of cows that were protected from slaughter in Jodhpur back in 2017. These cows underwent a special nine-month ritual where they were dedicatedly fed and cared for, with the recitation of Ramcharitmanas for the entire duration. The ghee produced from their milk has now completed a 1,200-kilometre journey to reach Kar Sevak Puram in Ayodhya.
“This sacred offering symbolises not only the reverence for Lord Ram but also the devotion and meticulous care bestowed upon the cows, considered sacred in the Hindu tradition. The journey itself becomes a testimony to the lengths undertaken to ensure the sanctity of the ingredients used in religious ceremonies,†said Kamlesh Srivastava, the city president of Bharatiya Janata Party in Ayodhya.
The Goshala authorities expressed their joy in contributing to the spiritual proceedings of Ayodhya and emphasised the sacredness of the ghee, linking it to the purity of the cows’ lives and the spiritual chants that accompanied their nurturing.
The arrival of this unique ghee has sparked anticipation among the devotees, who are eagerly awaiting the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, marking a union of devotion, tradition and the essence of sacred rituals in the holy city of Ayodhya.
