Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha immersed himself in the spiritual glow of Jammu’s Raghunath Temple during the special ‘Jammu Aarti of Shri Raghunath Ji’ on Wednesday. Organized meticulously by the dedicated Shri Raghunath Ji ki Jammu Aarti Sanstha, the ceremony underscored a call to revive traditional practices across riverside communities.
Sinha passionately urged residents of towns and villages in Jammu division to organize regular evening aartis. He envisioned these rituals lighting up society’s consciousness towards its rich cultural tapestry, drawing the younger generation closer to sacred texts through the illuminating power of aarti lamps.
He praised the aarti as an enduring tribute to feminine divine energy and the concept of Ardhnareshwar. ‘Performed jointly by male and female devotees, it bestows heavenly grace upon every soul,’ Sinha remarked. For him, the sandhya aarti is soulful discipline—a deliberate reminder to acknowledge our existential source with profound thankfulness.
Every rising flame symbolizes complete devotion, each chant an eternal conversation, and every instant advances personal spiritual evolution. Amid modern life’s hustle, these rituals provide essential reflective moments, reconnecting us to profound inner riches that the Jammu Aarti graciously unveils for all societal strata.
Positioning Jammu as the quintessential ‘City of Temples,’ the LG highlighted initiatives to elevate it on the world spiritual tourism map. Visitors to Vaishno Devi and Amarnath will now savor the region’s mystical essence right here, invigorating local businesses in the process.
These spiritual assemblies are gateways to authentic self-discovery. Sinha exhorted youth to internalize heritage values, prioritizing spiritual wealth over worldly gains. ‘Your priceless legacy lies not in riches or status, but in the eternal inner vault,’ he concluded inspiringly.
Dr. Ritu Singh, the sanstha’s head, along with key members, prominent citizens, and a large gathering of faithful attendees, marked the occasion with unwavering devotion.
