57 year old tradition
On 1 August 1964 i.e. 59 years ago, on the orders of Maharajji, Hanuman devotees decided to chant 'Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram' mantra 24 hours continuously for 7 days. Which later became an endless tradition and continues till today. Now a list of those who sing Ram Dhun is prepared a day in advance and pasted on the notice board. Any devotee in the temple can join Akhand Ram Dhun as per his wish.
Unbroken tunes continued even in earthquake
The special thing is that the devotees coming to the temple have not allowed the wave of Ram tunes to break even after half a century has passed. Even during the devastating earthquake in Gujarat in 2001, devotees continued singing Akhand Ram Dhun.
