News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever the name of Banaras (Varanasi) comes, the first picture that comes to mind is Kashi Vishwanath and Ganga Aarti. But today we will introduce you to the other part of Banaras i.e. Sarnath Let’s take us to a place where a different glow is visible since this morning.
Today ‘International Dharma Wheel Ceremony’ was organized in Sarnath, and believe me, the sight was such that it was worth seeing.
Sarnath became a mini world
It seemed as if the whole world had come to Sarnath. Not only India, but monks from many Buddhist countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Tibet gathered here. Everyone was in their traditional costumes. It was truly a spiritual experience to see thousands of monks dressed in red, orange and maroon robes together.
Resonant mantras for world peace
The main objective of this program was not just to worship but to give a big message to the world. In today’s time when there is an atmosphere of war and tension everywhere, in such a situation, from this land of Lord Buddha ‘World Peace’ Was prayed for.
All the monks performed special prayers and lit candles. The mantra of “Buddham Sharanam Gachchami” echoing in the atmosphere was giving peace to everyone’s mind. During this time, a grand procession was also taken out, in which monks were walking to the tune of traditional musical instruments.
Why only Sarnath?
Friends, you must be aware that Sarnath is the place where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon. This is called ‘Dharmachakra Pravartan’. Therefore, for the followers of Buddhism, the importance of this place is no less than Mecca or Kashi. Every year such events attract tourists and devotees from all over the world.
If you are in Banaras or planning to go, then definitely visit Sarnath in the evening. The peace and energy there will take you to a different world away from the noise of the city.
