Digital Desk: An 85-year-old devoted follower of Lord Ram from Dhanbad, Jharkhand, is set to break her 30-year "maun vrat" (vow of silence) following the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22. The woman had vowed to remain silent when the disputed building was demolished in the early 1990s.
Saraswati Devi, fondly known as 'Mauni Mata' due to her prolonged silence, took a solemn vow of silence in the aftermath of the demolition of the disputed structure in the early 1990s. Her silent protest became a testament to her profound devotion to Lord Ram and her ardent wish for the construction of the Ram Mandir.
Having suspended her daily one-hour break from 'maun vrat' since the foundation stone for the temple was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Saraswati Devi is now poised to break her silence with the completion of the Ram Temple and the consecration of Ram Lalla.
The prospect of Saraswati Devi breaking her vow has filled her family with joy and anticipation. The family eagerly awaits the moment when her voice, dormant for three decades, will once again grace their lives.
The Ram Temple Trust's special invitation to Saraswati Devi and her family for the grand consecration ceremony is a recognition of her steadfast devotion. 'Mauni Mata,' who, during her vow of silence, visited sacred places like Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura, Tirupati Balaji, and Baba Baidyanath Dham, sees the invitation as a divine call from Ram Lala.
In a written note, she expressed her determination to break her silence with the chanting of Lord Ram's name, considering it a sacred response to the invitation from the revered deity.
Saraswati Devi's admiration for Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath is evident, with the Prime Minister being referred to as 'Dasrath' and the Chief Minister as 'Vasistha.' This showcases not only her religious fervor but also her appreciation for the leaders who played pivotal roles in the realization of the Ram Temple.
The family's pride swells as they receive an invitation to attend the Pran Prathistha ceremony, viewing it as a moment of great honor and fulfillment for Saraswati Devi's lifelong devotion and sacrifice. The upcoming breaking of her silence becomes a poignant celebration of faith, patience, and the triumph of devotion over the passage of time.
