Dehradun, 18 Jan: Sages and Sadhus staying in Kedarnath shrine area have also been extended an invitation to join the Pran Pratishtha ceremony to be held on 22 January in Ayodhya at the newly constructed Ram Temple there. It may be recalled that there are around 16 sadhus still staying in various caves around Kedarnath despite snowfall and very tough cold conditions prevailing there. There are many sages who prefer to spend winter months in meditation at Kedarnath. RSS volunteers have reached Kedarnath to extend the invitation to these sadhus and also to hand over the Akshat Prasad from Ayodhya. Pictures of the Ram Temple were also given to these sadhus by the RSS volunteers.
It has also been planned to light 108 diyas at the Kedarnath Temple on 22 January in the presence of around 30 persons on the occasion of the Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya.
Earlier, a similar invitation was also extended to the sadhus staying in winters in Badrinath, today, and they were also given the Akshat Prasad and the pictures of the new Ram temple by the RSS volunteers from District Chamoli.
The Akshat was also distributed to the ITBP and Army personnel and officers deployed for the security of Kedarnath Dham. RSS district Pracharak Rahul, Vikram Singh Negi, campaign chief Atul Shah, Sushil Yadav, Tajwar Sati, etc., were also present.
