The Kinnar community in Bareilly announces a noble gesture, blessing infants born on January 22 without expecting customary gifts. Aligning with the consecration of the Ram temple, they plan to distribute lamps, and gifts, and sing devotional songs, symbolizing unity and generosity in celebrating this auspicious day.
In
a heartwarming initiative, the Kinnar
community in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, has declared their intent to bless
infants born on January 22 without expecting customary gifts or money from
parents. This benevolent gesture aligns with the pran pratishtha of Ram Lalla
in the Ayodhya temple, a day etched with divine significance.
Acknowledging
the historical connection, community member Sharda shared that during Lord
Ram's exile, Kinnars, displaying unwavering devotion, stayed with him near the
Tamsa River. Impressed by their dedication, Lord Ram granted them a boon – the
ability to bless newborns through congratulatory songs, ensuring prosperity in
their lives.
Sharda
further expressed gratitude for the opportunity to witness the consecration of
the Ram temple, emphasizing the collective fortune in experiencing this divine
event. This sentiment resonates with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for
the nation to light Diyas on the day of the consecration ceremony.
To
extend their blessings, the Kinnars plan to distribute five lamps to each
household in the region, encouraging residents to illuminate their homes on
January 22. Naina Devi, another community member, highlighted their commitment
to visiting the grand temple post-inauguration, distributing gifts, including
marigold flowers, to newborns born on the auspicious day, especially those from
economically disadvantaged families.
Additionally,
the Kinnars aspire to spread divine fervor by singing devotional songs of Lord
Ram on trains heading to Ayodhya after the consecration ceremony. Gauri, a
community member, shared plans to distribute one thousand lamps free of cost,
promoting the spiritual significance of the day.
As the community stands united in its benevolent endeavors, Shweta, stationed at Bareilly Junction, revealed intentions to present 50 kg of marigold flowers as invitations to train passengers, urging them to join in the celebrations at Ayodhya.
