00:00 Hare Rama Hare Krishna
00:06 Here's some trivia.
00:09 Do you know this famous chant,
00:11 Hare Rama Hare Krishna,
00:13 traces its roots to which place?
00:16 Well, it was the 15th century Bengali saint,
00:19 Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
00:21 The land of culture, tradition and history.
00:29 Today we unravel the sacred stories of Lord Ram,
00:33 a coin in the heart of West Bengal.
00:36 This is Ramraj Dala Ram Mandir in Bhavra.
00:41 An ancient temple devoted to Lord Ram
00:47 and a spiritual epicenter.
00:49 This beautiful idol of Ram and Sita,
00:53 standing side by side,
00:55 is unique and equally beautiful.
00:58 Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva can be seen
01:01 standing on either side,
01:03 adding to the divine ambience.
01:06 We all say Ram Ram,
01:08 but we don't know the importance of Ram.
01:11 Ram was a great man.
01:13 He was so great that we can never understand
01:17 how great he was.
01:19 The more we remember him,
01:21 the less we understand his greatness.
01:24 Ram is an ideal for India.
01:26 Ram works as a mantra for the world.
01:29 What is the most important thing
01:32 for a man is Ram.
01:34 That's why not only Bengalis,
01:37 but all the people of all cultures
01:40 value Ram.
01:42 Legend has it that Sri Ram stays here
01:55 for four months from Chaitra to Shravan.
01:58 And during this time,
02:00 a vibrant mela is organized every year.
02:04 Known as Ram Puja,
02:06 it starts on Ram Navami in Chaitra Baisakh month
02:10 and continues up to the last Sunday of Shravan,
02:13 thus making it the longest running fair
02:16 in West Bengal.
02:18 This timeless tradition,
02:20 spanning three centuries,
02:22 binds the community in devotion to Lord Ram.
02:26 About 300 years ago,
02:28 the landlord of the Ram Temple in Howrah,
02:31 Ashok Babu, had a dream.
02:33 He wanted to build a Ram Temple.
02:36 He worked hard to build a Ram Temple.
02:39 He did not even inaugurate the Ram and Sita.
02:43 And the puja is held there every day,
02:46 morning and evening.
02:48 Ram is a great idol.
02:54 Bengal, often not associated with Lord Ram,
02:58 holds a hidden treasure of tales and teachings about him,
03:02 passed down through generations.
03:07 So much so, the name Ram Raj Dala
03:10 finds its roots in this ancient temple.
03:14 Even the revered guru Sri Ram Krishna Paramhansa
03:18 found inspiration in the divine avatars Ram and Krishna.
03:24 The temple, one of the oldest in the region,
03:27 hosts a plethora of shops
03:29 offering a unique blend of spirituality and commerce.
03:33 Ram is not just a name of the Bengal community.
03:36 Ram is a symbol of India.
03:38 The whole world is now dedicated to Ram.
03:42 Ram is not just a name of the Bengalis.
03:44 Ram is a mantra for our Indian culture and religion.
03:49 Nearly a thousand kilometers from Ram Raj Dala,
03:58 the Grand Ram Temple at Ayodhya
04:01 stands as a testament to the sacred role
04:04 that Lord Ram plays in Hindu culture,
04:07 connecting the nation in one spiritual thread.
04:12 Ram Raj Dala is a temple of Hinduism.
04:15 It is the birthplace of Ram.
04:17 We are very happy to be part of this Hindu community.
04:22 We are very proud to be Indians.
04:28 We want to make our temple even better.
04:34 The temple is very important to us.
04:38 The temple was first inaugurated in Kashi Vishwanath.
04:44 Then, the temple was given as much importance
04:48 as the Ram temple in Benaras, Kanpur and Ujjain.
04:57 In West Bengal, households continue to raise children
05:04 with tales and teachings of Sri Ram,
05:07 fostering a deep reverence.
05:10 We are very happy that the state of Kodambandhi
05:14 is making such a good plan for the Ram temple.
05:19 We want more Ram temples to be built in every state.
05:25 This is a Hindu issue.
05:28 The Hindu community should be proud that Ram temple is the birthplace of Ram.
05:33 The temple will be visited by all.
05:37 The temple will be inaugurated on 22nd January.
05:43 We are waiting for the day when Ram will be seated in the temple.
05:53 Through these chants, tales and traditions,
05:57 Bengal's cultural heritage is intricately woven
06:01 with the divine threads of Sri Ram.
06:04 This legacy, passed down through generations,
06:08 stands as a testament to the enduring impact of devotion
06:12 in shaping the cultural identity of West Bengal.
