The event was attended by Shri Murli Manohar Joshi, one of the founding members of the BJP, Hon’ble Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva, and Hon’ble Justice Vibhu Bakhru among the houseful of audience.
Shri Murli Manohar Joshi in his address to the media said, “Yeh karyakram Ram ke naam par nahi, Ram ke kaam par aayojit hai (This event is not based on the name of Lord Ram but based on the teachings of Lord Ram).” While praising the efforts of ‘The House of Ram’, he further added, “Isse ek aam aadmi ko Ram se judne ka ek bohut sundar avsar prapt ho raha hai. Ek kumhar bhi isse juda hai, ek maala banane wala bhi isse juda hai, aur apne kaam ke madhyam se bhagwan Ram ko ghar ghar pahuchaya jaa raha hai. (through this initiative, every individual has got an opportunity to associate with the ideals of Lord Ram. And every artisan involved, be it a potter or an ornament maker, can therefore take the blessings of Lord Ram to every home through their products.”
Gunjan Paharia, the founder of The House of Ram, believes that every individual must play their part in the upliftment of society in whatever capacity they can. Further working on this belief, The House of Ram extended its support to the classical art of Odissi Dance and organized this event to provide a platform for local artisans to showcase their skills to the world.
All those who attended the enchanting tale of Ramayana – Shri Ram Katha, spoke of it as an outstanding experience. Some audience members also described it as ‘divine’ and were mesmerized as it brought the emotions of the characters of the epic to life.
The House of Ram is part empowerment and part social cause initiative. The organization empowers skilled individuals from marginalized sections of society to create products that are pure, handmade, and resonate with the ideals of Maryada Purushottam. The unique point in their products is that they are blessed at the Hanuman Garhi Temple in Ayodhya and hence their tag line of – ‘Ayodhya se aapke ghar tak’. Its products range from semi-precious jewellery to aromatics like scented candles and incense sticks.
