Haridwar, June 07 (HS). The nine-day musical Ram Katha of Padma Vibhushan and well-known Shri Ram Katha narrator Swami Rambhadracharya Ji Maharaj started on Friday on the holy banks of Ganga at Kankhal Rajghat. Swami Rambhadracharya Ji Maharaj, while inaugurating the Katha, said that Ram Katha is incomplete without Shiva. When Mother Parvati presented 16 questionnaires regarding the character of Lord Shri Ram in front of Lord Shiva, it was as if the entire Ramcharit Manas appeared in front of Lord Shiva and Lord Shiva, while describing the character of Lord Shri Ram, said that Lord Ram's character is such that by just taking his name all the inauspiciousness goes away and only auspiciousness happens.
Swami Rambhadracharya Ji Maharaj mentioned the devotion of Lord Shri Ram and Lord Shiva and said that both worship and anoint each other. He said that Lord Shri Ram is the idol of everyone.
Earlier, on behalf of Shri Udasin Panchayati Bada Akhara, Mahant Damodar Sharan Das, Mahant Govind Das, Mahant Raghavendra Das and Swami Doctor Keshavanand Maharaj welcomed Swami Rambhadracharya Ji Maharaj by garlanding him. Before the story of Swami Rambhadracharya Ji, the Kalash Yatra was taken out in the Kankhal suburb of Haridwar. People welcomed the Kalash Yatra by showering flowers at various places.
