Ayodhya Mandir and ‘Hanuman sightings’ – Monkey videos go viral
In the midst of the ‘pran pratishtha’ ceremony at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, there were reports of people having surprisingly sighted monkeys paying obeisance to Lord Ram. Several videos have gone viral.
On the day, the Ayodhya Ram Mandir was thrown open to devotees, Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust sent a feeler that
Hanuman ji himself came for a darshan of Ram Lalla in the form of Monkey.
Even people at Ayodhya recounted unusual incidents of monkeys paying obeisance to Lord Ram.
Notedly, someone posted a clip of a monkey climbing a bamboo pole to “touch the feet of Lord Ram” on a flag, another person shared a video of a langoor visiting a puja place and bowing at the ‘havan’ site.
A recent video surfaced showing a monkey climbing up to the sacred pedestal inside a temple full of devotees.
Reportedly, the monkey which entered the temple did not touch the bananas and anything given to eat, but, quickly sat near Shri Ram, touched His feet and went away.
As the monkey climbed to reach the idols of Lord Ram, Sita and Laxman, the devotees were seen praying with folded hands and chanting “Jai Shree Ram” and “Jai Shree Hanuman”, in front of the spectacle.
Even on the day of the consecration of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on 22 Jan 2024, a monkey visited the Shri Ram Temple in Lonavala,
The users reacting to the video called it “some divine force,” saying that the monkey knows his roots (he meant Hanuman belongs to Ram).”
Another video posted on the same day of the inauguration of the Ram Mandir (January 22) made the social media users go ‘wow.’ A langoor was seen visiting a yajna vedi, meant for Shree Ram naam-jap, surrounded by devotees.
The langoor soon bowed down.
The caption read that “Hanuman Dada ke anek roop (many forms of Lord Hanuman).
Another video of a monkey clinging on to a saffron dhwaj (flag), is said to have been captured on January 22, the day ‘pran prathistha’ of Balak Ram was done in Ram Temple Ayodhya.
Another user wrote that Hanuman ji will be the happiest bhakt to see Lord Shri Ram virajman in Ayodhya Nagri.
Moments like these that celebrate Hanuman and his importance in Lord Ram’s life, have been hailed to be divine. Whether a coincidence or otherwise, devotees of Lord Ram saw these moments of monkeys and langoors submitting to his ‘Lord,’ and could not resist, saying, “Jai Shree Ram (glory to Lord Ram).”
Then there was the Balak Ram sculptor Arun Yogiraj himself, who shared a surprising story about regular visits by a monkey that would want to see the Lord Ram idol being made.
In an exclusive interview with a TV channel Yogiraj said every day around 4-5 pm, a monkey used to come to his door.
Adding amidst the cold, they covered the gate, but it used to come and bang on the door. He wasn’t sure if it was the same monkey, but it used to come daily at the same time. He told Champat Rai, the general secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, about it, and he said that maybe it also wants to see Lord Ram’s idol.
