Before the grand Dhwajarohan ceremony, PM Modi’s prayer at the sacred Sapt Mandir was not just a ritual—it represented the revival of spiritual energy linked with seven revered figures of the Ramayana.
Today, a deeply spiritual and historic moment unfolded at the sacred Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple complex in Ayodhya. Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared through a Facebook post that before the Dhwajarohan Mahotsav, he had the rare opportunity to offer prayers at the Sapt Mandir complex — a moment that symbolized not just devotion, but a powerful union of knowledge, faith and divinity.
The Sapt Mandir comprises seven holy temples dedicated to seven significant personalities associated with the Ramayana and the divine life of Lord Shri Ram: Sage Vashishtha, Sage Vishwamitra, Sage Agastya, Sage Valmiki, Devi Ahilya, Nishadraj Guha, and Mata Shabari.
PM Modi performed traditional rituals and offered prayers at each of these temples. In his message, he emphasized that these seven temples offer us “both wisdom and devotion,” guiding us closer to the ideals of Lord Shri Ram.
Let us briefly reflect on the greatness of these seven revered figures—
- Sage Vashishtha: The royal guru, symbol of righteousness, ethics and dharma.
- Sage Vishwamitra: The ascetic sage who imparted divine weaponry knowledge to Ram and Lakshman.
- Sage Agastya: The guiding mentor during Lord Ram’s exile, known for his spiritual strength.
- Sage Valmiki: The creator of the Ramayana, who immortalized the sacred tale of Lord Ram.
- Devi Ahilya: The embodiment of penance, forgiveness and inner purity.
- Nishadraj Guha: A true friend and devotee, representing unwavering loyalty and service.
- Mata Shabari: The epitome of love, devotion, and heartfelt hospitality.
PM Modi highlighted that the teachings of these divine souls lead us toward the ideals of Ram Rajya — a realm of humanity, virtue, unity and service.
On the auspicious occasion of the Dhwajarohan ceremony, the Prime Minister’s visit to the Sapt Mandir conveys a profound message:
The revival of our culture, history and faith is not merely through grand structures, but through the values embodied by these seven divine personalities.
This day reminds us that India is not just a geographical entity — it is a profound spiritual experience, where devotion, wisdom and service walk together.
Let us celebrate this sacred moment with unity, devotion and the spirit of Shri Ram.
Jai Shri Ram — PM Narendra Modi
