Lucknow, May 2026 : The sacred Shri Ram Katha of revered Padma Vibhushan Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Maharaj will be held from June 1 to June 9 at the Brij Ki Rasoi premises located on Sitapur Road. The discourse will take place daily from 5 PM to 8 PM. This information was given by Dr. Neeraj Bora, MLA from Lucknow North and patron of the organising committee, during a press conference.

He stated that Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Maharaj is a renowned saint, scholar, educationist, and the present Jagadguru of the Ramanandacharya sect. Despite losing his eyesight at just two months of age, he has composed more than 250 scriptures through his extraordinary intellect and spiritual practice.

He established a university dedicated to differently-abled persons in Chitrakoot and also served as a key witness in the Ayodhya Shri Ram Janmabhoomi case. In recognition of his contribution to the nation and culture, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Vibhushan award.

Dr. Bora said that on the first day of the Katha, there will be a Kalash Yatra, expansion of Ramcharitmanas, Guru Vandana, and the narration of the meeting between Bharadwaj and Yajnavalkya.

On the second day, the appearance of Goddess Sati at Mount Himalaya’s residence will be described. The third day will feature Shiv Vivah, followed by Shri Ram’s birth celebration on the fourth day.

The fifth day will include Bal Leela, the arrival of Vishwamitra, and Shri Ram’s departure to the forest. The sixth day will narrate the marriage of Sita and Ram, while the seventh day will include Ram Vanvas, Kevat dialogue, and the meeting between Ram and Bharat.

The eighth day will describe Lakshman’s teachings, Sita Haran, and the story of Shabari in a deeply emotional narration. On the final day, June 9, the programme will be held from 9 AM to 12 noon.

On the concluding day, events such as Lanka Dahan, Shri Ram’s return to Ayodhya, Shri Ram Rajyabhishek celebration, and a grand community feast (Bhandara) will take place. All devotees will receive Mahaprasad at the end of the Katha.

Dr. Bora said preparations for the event are underway on a war footing. A meeting was held on Friday with the Municipal Corporation, Jal Kal department, Electricity Department, and other concerned agencies, and necessary instructions were issued.

Arrangements have been made for seating of devotees, parking facilities, drinking water, lighting, and other essential amenities on a large scale.

He urged devotees from Lucknow and nearby districts to attend in large numbers, listen to the Shri Ram Katha, and gain spiritual benefit.

The press conference was attended by several members of the organising committee “Utsav,” including General Secretary Rakesh Pandey, Janakipuram Durga Puja Utsav convener Saurabh Vandyopadhyay, Shri Shyam Parivar President Sanjeev Agarwal, General Secretary Rupesh Agarwal, Deepak Agarwal, Ashish Agarwal, Shyamji Agarwal, Anil Gupta, Dr. Ajay Gupta, Rishi Kapoor, Anurag Sahu, S.K.
