The well-known spiritual teacher Pujya Morari Bapu, a proponent of the Ramayana, is about to set out on a remarkable spiritual journey during the auspicious month of Saavan. Morari Bapu will enchant followers with his insightful discourses on the Ram Katha at the revered 12 Jyotirlinga temples from July 22 through August 8, 2023. This significant journey will highlight the essence of Sanatana Dharma, the glory of Lord Ram’s name, as well as unite India and fortify its traditions. It will cover approximately 12,000 kilometres and pass through 8 states.
Morari Bapu And His Devotees Will Take An Exceptional Spiritual Journey
Morari Bapu, who has been reciting the Ram Katha for more than 60 years, will set out on a spiritual journey while continuously retelling the Lord Ramayan for 18 days. The yatra will come to an end in Gujarat’s Talgajarda, Bapu’s village, on August 8, 2023. His discourses in the area of Ram Katha are strongly influenced by Ram Charita Manas’s teachings.
Two special trains, the Kailash Bharat Gaurav and the Chitrakoot Bharat Gaurav, have been set up to make this extraordinary journey possible. There will be 1008 devotees in total on board these specially made trains. The 12 Jyotirlinga temples, the four major Sanatana Dhams, the Tirupati Balaji temple, and scenes from Bapu’s village are all depicted on colourful vinyl wraps that adorn the train coaches’ exteriors.
Every day, the Ram Katha will be open to everyone, allowing people to join in anywhere along the route. This open-minded strategy promotes unity and gives people from all backgrounds the chance to partake in this spiritually enlightening experience. The organiser will also provide three meals as prasad for each devotee. The pilgrimage to every Jyotirlinga during the auspicious month of Saavan will be an amazing accomplishment for everyone who participates
