Temple

Satyayug Shri Ramji Mandir This Temple is stated at Rajkot (Gujarat). The constant, unbroken, round-the-clock recitation of Brahm Mantra (Brahm YAGNA) AUM HRIM RAMA JAYA RAMA JAYA JAYA RAMA has been running since 1991.

Rev. Prabhushree established one majestic Shri Ramji Temple in the year 1973 A.D. based upon His ideals of Satya-Yuga. For rev. Prabhushree, the establishment of this temple was a kind of unexpected yoga of destiny. Shri Ramjibhai, the trustee of, Nyalbhakta Annakshetra’ had invited Rev. Prabhushree to carry out Pran-Pratishtha (to animate the idols with life) in this temple. At that time, Rev. Prabhushree had put forwent a condition stating that He would be in a position to accept his invitation only if he would agree to carry out new design completely in accordance with His ideals of Satya-Yuga. Shri Ramjibhai agreed to do so and then only Rev. Prabhushree took most subtle care in construction of small and big aspects and in this fashion He had incorporated all His spiritual ideals of the Satya-Yuga in this temple. Along with this, He had performed unimaginable Tapasya (penance) for the Chinmayta (spirituality) of the temple. In this manner, by all round effort, this majestic-divine temple has been erected.

Pran Pratishtha In year 1973 A.D., on the auspicious day of Dev Diwali, (God’s festival of lights celebrated on Full-Moon day of the month of Kartik of Vikram Era-Lunar year, usually falling in October or November of any year.) Rev. Prabhushree Himself with His Own Hands performed the ceremony of Pran-Pratishtha of these idols. That day was a day of remembrance in the spiritual history. On that day, many devotees had ‘Darshans’ and an atmosphere of supernatural devotional fervour had permeated the atmosphere. The ceremony of Pran-Pratistha of this temple was performed in a special manner. Instead of performing any ceremonials as prescribed in Karma-Kanda portions of scriptures, in their place, as an alternative, He had arranged for performance of Akhand-Dhun of Brahm Mantra for a period of seven months before the festival of Pran-Pratishtha was performed in the premises of the temple and also recital of holy Ramayan was performed. In this way, only after establishing divinity and purity in the place by the help of Akhand-Kirtan, He had animated idols with life-breadth.

Spiritual Principles In the construction of this temple, a minute attention has been paid to the principles of Adhyatmikta (spirituality). Principles like truth, non-violence and Brahmcharyatmak purity have been established in every work of the temple.

 

Observance of Truth Beyond the limit of the prayer-room of the temple, whatever expenses were involved in the new construction taken on hand, were met by taking money from only those persons who were observing truth or took a vow to observe truth hence forth. As a result of this, the period for the work of construction of temple was extended beyond the prescribed limit and the dome (Shikhar) of the temple on account of this reason had remained uncompleted. In this sense only the name of the temple has also been kept as “Shri Satya-Yuga Ramji Mandir”. Rev. Prabhushri had desired that in accordance with the name of the temple truth should prevail in the center in all the social activities of the temple.

 

Brahmcharyatmak Purity At least in religious places, the observance of principles of purity should be observed most scrupulously, And then only the presence of Chaitanya of Parmatma (supreme soul) can be established uninterruptedly in an unbroken manner. In this context, Rev. Prabhushri has made an arrangement so that complete modesty could be maintained between men and women in the temple. Different staircases have been kept for them for going in and out. The sitting arrangement is made in the prayer room in such a way that men and women remain away from sight of each other. Along the center line of the prayer room, a wooden barrier three feet in height has been created. Moreover, women have been instructed not to come at night. The period of Akhand Dhun (constant, continuous, unbroken, round-the-clock singing of the Brahm Mantra AUM HRIM, RAMA, JAYA, RAMA, JAYA JAYA, RAMA) for women has been kept from sunrise to sunset.

 

Non-Violence The social implication of the principle of non-violence of Rev. Prabhushri is that there should be no violence upon any living being. And that is why the niche where Akhand-Jyot (uninterrupted burning of the flame) has been ceremoniously installed is designed in such a way that not a single insect would fall in the flame. Moreover, it has been ordained as a rule that none of the musical instruments being used in temple should have leather. However, later on plastic musical instruments were discovered. It has also been ordained not to use silk for the supreme Lord.

Sanctum Sanctorum Some special care was taken for purity and divinity in the sanctum sanatorium, before the ‘Pran-Pratistha’ was performed. For achieving this purpose, the dust of Saryu River was obtained from Ayodhya and spread below the throne of the Idols. Along with this, water of river Ganges brought from Haridwar has been kept in a separate niche on the Ganga Dashera day. And in a second niche, ‘Akhand-Jyot’ has been installed. Thus, in this way, from the spiritual point of view, Rev. Prabhushri has completed all the necessary ceremonial rites. In the sculpting of the idols also, similar great care is taken. The sculptor, during the work of sculpting had to observe certain rules. In spite of all this, in accordance with the inspiration received, the idol of Shri Ramlala Shri Hari had to be sculpted again. While doing the work in the Sanctum Sanctorum, the workers had to remain barefooted. Once, by mistake, one worker went inside the Sanctum Sanctorum with his shoes on and so all the tiles had to be removed. The rules for service and worship of the Parmatma have been fixed with the utmost exactness. A separate kitchen has been kept for preparation of ‘Prasad’ (holy food) and in this kitchen the ‘Prasad’ to be offered to Shri Ramlala Shri Hari at various times of the day is being cooked. An equal stress has been laid upon the purity of the worshipper also.

The Prayer Room All the pictures depicting the various forms of the Parmatma decorating all the walls of the vast Prayer-room with sayings giving knowledge engraved on them are prepared with the ideals of Satya-Yagna of Rev. Prabhushree. Behind every picture, Rev. Prabhushri has done tremendous ‘Tapasya’ (penance). Behind each picture, Rev. Prabhushri has performed worship and ‘Dhyan’ (meditation) from one to six months. Only when the form of ‘Parmatma’ in the picture became glowing with knowledge (‘Chinmayta’) that it was installed in this temple. All these pictures (paintings) depict the true ‘Incarnations’, partial Incarnations forms of Sakti or divine personages which were approved by His divine knowledge.

Akhand Dhun(constant, unbroken, round-the-clock recitation; chanting)

In any temple, a system of Akhand Sankirtan i.e. the unbroken round-the-clock singing of the name of the Parmatma is most essential for its glow of divine knowledge and divinity. The place where the name of Parmatma is being remembered continuously and uninterrupted, the continuous existence of the Parmatma would prevail there. And that is why Rev. Prabhushri desired that in this temple also, one Akhand-Dhun might continue on a permanent basis, so that it may achieve all-round welfare of the temple. Initially, due to His efforts, the ‘Akhand-Dhun’ had continued for some time. But later on, due to lack of able manager and lack of members, the ‘Akhand-Dhun’ could not be continued.

In conclusion, it can be said that in view of Rev. Prabhushri, this Satyayuga Shri Ramji Mandir is a Chaitanya Dham. He had many a times visited this Shri Temple in the past. He had also divine fervours and ‘Darshans’ (glimpse). On account of such high feelings for this place, he had accepted the invitation for, performing the ‘Pran-Pratishta’ ceremony of this Shri Temple. Not only this, He had performed immense amount of ‘Tapasya’ (penance) in order to awaken the Shri Temple to be alive with Pran (life-breadth). If one makes a most minute study of this Shri Temple, looking ordinary from outside, then one will find many high spiritual matters incorporated in it. For example, Shri Bhagwan Ramchandraji installed in the Shri Temple is with four hands. Now only ‘Paratpar’ form of Shri Vishnu Bhagwan is having four hands. And so, the meaning of the form installed in the Shri Temple is that Para-Brahm (Shri Vishnu Bhagwan) Parmatma from whom all the true Incarnations have manifested, is existing in His very sat-chit-Anand Form as Shri Ramchandraji Bhagwan. Hence, here there is not only the Incarnation of Ramchandraji -The son of King Dasharatha in this form but all the true Incarnations are included in it.

Rev. Prabhushri has said that, “The true majesty of a temple does not lie in its external appearance but in the spirituality existing in it.” And that is why most subtle of the subtle care has been taken for the sake of the divinity of Shri Temple. He has, in fact, said that, “Why cannot this place become a Dham like Badrinath?” And that is why, He has made many suggestions to the trustees. He had once told in the context of the ‘Tapasya’ and effort He had made for the sake of this Shri Temple that, “Now another temple of this kind to be constructed in this life, would not be possible (for me).”
