South African cricketer Keshav Maharaj has sent a special message for the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony in India. As a follower of Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman, Maharaj expresses his best wishes for the Indian community and requests the iconic Ram Siya Ram Jai Jai Ram song to be played when he enters the cricket ground. Maharaj, whose great-grandfather hails from the Uttar Pradesh village of Sultanpur, openly practices his Hindu faith and shares his heartfelt message on Instagram. The ceremony, attended by cricket legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, is set to be a momentous event presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ayodhya.
Cricket and religion coming together in Ayodhya! Cricketers Anil Kumble and Venkatesh Prasad have graced the city for the Ram Temple ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony. This is a significant event in Ayodhya, and it’s heartening to see these sports icons being a part of it.
But hold on, they are not alone! Other legendary cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and Virat Kohli are also expected to attend the ceremony. It’s a star-studded affair indeed!
Speaking of cricketers and their connection to the Ram Temple, South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj has expressed his best wishes for the Indian community and even made a special request. He wants the ‘Ram Siya Ram Jai Jai Ram’ song to be played when he enters the cricket ground. Now, that’s a unique way to show his affinity towards Lord Ram.
And speaking of Virat Kohli, he has already shown his respect for Maharaj when the South African cricketer came out to bat during the recent Test series between India and South Africa. Kohli stood with folded hands, showing his admiration and sportsmanship.
Shifting gears to some on-field cricket action, India’s KS Bharat has impressed everyone with his century against England Lions. Not only is he a talented wicketkeeper, but he can also bat exceptionally well. Keep an eye out for this rising star!
In the world of T20 cricket, Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh have created history with their record-breaking batting display. These two powerhouses have shown us the true potential of the format and why they are considered a force to be reckoned with.
Back to Keshav Maharaj, he seems to be deeply connected to his roots. The South African cricketer, who openly practices his Hindu faith, has shared a heartfelt video message on Instagram, extending his wishes to the Indian community for the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha. It’s wonderful to see how cricket brings people from different cultures and backgrounds together.
Did you know that Maharaj’s great-grandfather hails from the Uttar Pradesh village of Sultanpur? It’s fascinating to see how traditions and beliefs are passed down through generations.
Oh, and talking about traditions, during the recent Test series between India and South Africa, the song “Ram Siya Ram” from the movie Adipurush was played whenever Maharaj walked out to bat. It’s a small gesture that adds a touch of spirituality to the game.
Lastly, the Ram Mandir inauguration ceremony will witness the presence of several Indian cricketers, including Anil Kumble, Harmanpreet Kaur, Harbhajan Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar. These cricketers have been invited to be a part of this historic event, which will be presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Ayodhya is shining bright and beautifully decorated for the occasion. Dignitaries from various fields are coming together to be a part of this momentous program. It’s a celebration of faith, unity, and a shared love for cricket and culture.
