Pasadena’s Hindu Community Grand Car Rally Celebrates Historic Ayodhya Ram Mandir Inauguration

In a vibrant and fervent show of solidarity with the global Hindu community, Pasadena is set to host a spectacular car rally in honor of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir Inauguration. Scheduled to kick off from the Durga Temple in Pasadena at 11:00 a.m. on January 21, 2024, this rally will serve as a local expression of joy and reverence for Hindus both in Pasadena and worldwide.

The Ayodhya Ram Mandir, a monumental temple dedicated to Lord Ram, is poised to witness its historic inauguration on January 22, 2024, in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. The grand ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony will be graced by the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will take on the role of the main host. The temple, constructed at the site of the former Babri Masjid, holds profound significance for Hindus, marking the end of nearly five centuries of relentless efforts and sacrifices.

As preparations in Ayodhya involve adorning the city with resplendent flowers and even granting government employees a half-day off to mark the occasion, the entire Hindu community is buzzing with anticipation. The consecration ceremony will be telecast live in multiple cities, with the central government encouraging virtual participation. Devotees will have the opportunity to visit the temple starting on January 23, a day following the consecration.

The significance of this event cannot be overstated, as it signifies the culmination of a centuries-old dream for Hindus worldwide. Shree Ramjanmabhumi organizers have passionately called upon the global Hindu community to join in the celebration by congregating in local Mandirs to offer prayers, engage in Japa, and share Prasad. This call to action resonates deeply with the Pasadena Hindu community, who have united in collaboration with various temple organizations, including Vishnu Hindu Parishad, Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) US, Maa Durga Temple, United Hindu Temple in Baldwin Park, and the Pasadena Sivan Temple.

Pasadena Hindu Temple, in particular, will play a pivotal role by distributing Prasad to all participants of the car rally. They view this once-in-a-lifetime event as a blessing for all Sanatanis, and they invite everyone to partake in this historical celebration.

The local car rally, a collaborative effort among these temple organizations, symbolizes the spirit of unity and reverence for Lord Ram. It offers an opportunity for the Hindu community in Pasadena and Baldwin Park to come together, show their support, and collectively celebrate the monumental inauguration of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir. The rally will culminate at Santa Anita Park, providing a fitting conclusion to this momentous event.

For those eager to join the Pasadena car rally celebration, the journey begins at the Durga Temple in Pasadena on January 21, 2024, at 11:00 a.m.
