Why in News?

The Vishal Bharat Sansthan, in collaboration with the Ram panth, launched a ‘Shri Ram Parivar Bhakti Movement’ on the occasion of Ram Navami in the presence of senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) functionary.

Key Points

• The movement started with a ‘Mahadiksha Sanskar’ organised at Lamahi village, where 1,100 people pledged to take the Ram Parivar Bhakti Movement across the country.
• A group of Dalits, tribals, eunuchs, and women were ordained as priests after undergoing diksha.
• The Rampanthis will spread the culture and bring the Rambhakti movement to a wider audience. The construction of the Ram Sambandh temple in Lamhi will allow people from all faiths to visit.

Rama Navami

• It is a spring Hindu festival.
• The festival marks the birth of Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
• The day is the ninth and last day of Chaitra Navaratri. This typically occurs in the Gregorian months of March or April every year.
