From Asthi Kalash to Pran Pratistha: Devotee’s Journey of Devotion Culminates in Joyous Anticipation
Ghaziabad: In the annals of the historic Ram Mandir movement of 1991, where the fervor for the construction of the temple in Ayodhya reached its zenith, Anuj Sharma’s family became an indelible part of the struggle. The son of Jagadish Prasad Sharma, Anuj, was just 18 years old and had completed his 12th grade when he, along with other car sevaks, found himself behind bars during the Asthi Kalash ceremony – a night spent in jail for the cause he passionately believed in.
Fast forward to the present day, Anuj Sharma, now 50, residing in Rajnagar Extension, Ghaziabad carries the memories of that pivotal time etched in his heart. His journey from a young devotee participating in the movement to witnessing the dream of the Ram Mandir becoming a reality has been a testament to his unwavering dedication and devotion.
As the nation gears up for the auspicious occasion of the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishta scheduled for January 22 in Ayodhya, Anuj Sharma finds himself brimming with excitement. The long-awaited dream, for which he and countless others sacrificed and struggled, is finally reaching its culmination. Anuj Sharma sees this event not just as the consecration of a grand temple but as the embodiment of the collective spirit and faith of a nation.
In an exclusive interview, Anuj Sharma expressed his joy and anticipation, stating, “The journey from those intense days of the Asthi Kalash ceremony to this momentous occasion has been nothing short of surreal. The dream we nurtured during those challenging times is now becoming a reality. I am eagerly looking forward to the Pran Pratishta, where the spirit of Lord Ram will forever reside in the hearts of millions.”
Anuj Sharma’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Ram Mandir movement and the enduring spirit that has kept the flame of devotion alive for decades. As the nation prepares to witness the consecration of the Ram Mandir, Anuj and many other’s stands as a living testimony to the unwavering faith that continues to bind the people of India.
