Prayagraj: The religious rituals for Rath Yatra commenced at Shringverpur Dham with the offering of traditional herbal decoction (kaadha) to Lord Jagannath, currently believed to be unwell, on Thursday.
According to ancient tradition, similar to Odisha's famous Puri temple, Lord Jagannath in Shringverpur Dham is said to fall ill for fifteen days after the ceremonial Snan Yatra or divine bath performed on the full moon day of Jyeshtha month of Hindu calendar at the Shri Ram Var Vishram Ashram.
Lord Jagannath, along with his siblings Subhadra and Balabhadra, was brought out of the sanctum sanctorum for a grand ritual bathing after which he is believed to fall ill and goes for rest for fifteen days, called as a period of rest or Anasara.
On Thursday, Mahant Peethadheeshwar of Shringverpur Dham, Ram Prasad Das Shastri Maharaj offered a traditional herbal decoction (kaadha) to the deity. He then placed Lord Jagannath in a resting state with proper rituals, offered him special garments, performed his aarti, and began dedicated service for his recovery.
The tradition has been followed by both, the Shri Tulsi Sahitya Prachar Samiti and the Shringverpur Teerth Kshetra Trust, this year.

Who is Premanand Ji Maharaj: 5 of his teachings that are mantras for modern life
In today's fast-paced world, where social media updates appear faster than thoughts can settle and the pressure to continually prove oneself rarely eases, many Indians are looking for deeper meaning. Even as trends and technology shift every day, the desire for clarity, peace, and purpose remains constant. It is in this context that the teachings of Premanand Ji Maharaj, a spiritual teacher from Vrindavan, have gradually gained attention. Without relying on self-promotion or polished branding, Maharaj Ji has attracted followers across different age groups– from students to professionals and even public figures– who appreciate his simple, practical approach. Many feel that his guidance speaks directly to their daily lives. Rather than offer abstract or overly theoretical spiritual advice, his teachings focus on common challenges like stress, expectations, ego, and emotional unease. Here are five of Premanand Ji Maharaj's core teachings that may be especially relevant for those seeking balance, purpose, and inner calm in today's world: True peace comes from letting go, not holding on Premanand Ji Maharaj often points out that much of our emotional struggle stems from the need to control every outcome, whether in our relationships, careers, or personal goals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo His advice is straightforward: do your part with sincerity, but let go of the constant need to manage every detail. He emphasizes that surrendering to the divine will is not a sign of helplessness. Rather, it is a way to reduce unnecessary anxiety and allow life to unfold naturally. Success is a shared path of effort and divine grace Success, according to Premanand Ji Maharaj, is a combination of merit, good deeds, and God's blessings. He explains that there are two kinds of people– those who believe their achievements come purely from their own hard work, and those who credit all their success to divine will. Maharaj Ji, however, emphasizes a more balanced view. Success is never entirely one or the other; it is the result of sincere effort, past good actions, and divine grace working together. In his teaching, neither the individual nor the higher power is solely responsible. Instead, success emerges as a shared process– a partnership between one's own actions and the blessings that help make them fruitful. Life will keep changing– don't let it shake your core Whether it's career uncertainty, personal loss, or shifting relationships, Maharaj Ji reminds people that change is a constant. Rather than fearing it, he encourages acceptance. His teachings often highlight the importance of maintaining inner stability even when outer circumstances feel unpredictable. He frequently advises people not to let difficult times take away their hope, and not to let good times inflate their ego. Emotional balance, he believes, is one of the most valuable spiritual strengths a person can cultivate. Mind your words– they shape more than just conversations In moments of anger or stress, words can easily become harmful. Maharaj Ji encourages people to speak with care and responsibility. He often points out that every word carries energy that affects not only those who hear it but also the speaker themselves. Being conscious of language, he explains, doesn't mean one must always be soft-spoken. It means being aware of the impact of one's words, especially during difficult or tense conversations. Let achievement be quiet– don't let ego walk ahead of you With rising visibility, fame, and financial success often comes an inflated sense of self. Maharaj Ji cautions that ego is one of the quickest ways to lose balance, even after reaching great heights. Despite his large following, he continues to live a disciplined and humble life. Through his example, he reminds others that inner growth should always take priority over outward image.

Ayodhya Ram temple's main work to be completed by October, says temple trust
Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust general secretary Champat Rai on Friday said finishing touches are currently being given to the Ram temple in Ayodhya, marking a crucial stage in its construction. Talking to reporters, Rai confirmed that once this work is complete, all heavy machinery will be taken down. He said the "main work of the temple will be completed by October". Emphasising that public 'darshan' (viewing) should not be hindered, Rai highlighted the pending works crucial for the security of the temple complex. They include the construction of the boundary wall, which has not yet begun. He noted that these tasks, along with the construction of the auditorium, restrooms and the Trust office within the complex "may take another year to be completed". The construction of the Ram temple began after a historic Supreme Court judgment in 2019 on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit. The Hindu litigants argued that the Babri mosque was constructed at the site of a temple marking the birthplace of Lord Ram. The consecration ceremony was held on January 22 last year.
