Ayodhya Marks the Inaugural Chapter of Rashtra Katha under the Presence of Param Pujya Sadhguru Shri Riteshwar Maharaj led by Brij Bhushan Singh Ji on 1 January 2026
Ayodhya emerges as a center of spiritual reflection and cultural consciousness with the inauguration of the Divine Historic Rashtra Katha Mahotsav, envisioned around the theme “The Divine Journey from Banke Bihari to Awadh Bihari” Rooted in tradition yet resonating with contemporary relevance, the inauguration sets the tone for a discourse where devotion, national values, and personal transformation converge in a meaningful and dignified manner.
The Rashtra Katha unfolds in the august presence and guidance of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, whose association lends the event a sense of direction, discipline, and national perspective. Known for his deep engagement with cultural initiatives, his role in the Mahotsav reflects a conscious effort to create a platform that speaks not only to faith but also to responsibility - particularly for the younger generation. His presence anchors the event in purpose, making the Rashtra Katha a collective journey rather than a ceremonial gathering.
At the spiritual heart of the Mahotsav stands Param Pujya Sadhguru Shri Riteshwar Ji, whose discourse forms the soul of the Rashtra Katha. Revered for his clarity of thought and depth of wisdom, Sadhguru Shri Riteshwar Ji presents a rare synthesis of Ram Katha, Hanumant Katha, Krishna Katha, and reflections on Sanatan tradition, knowledge-science, and the art of balanced living. His words carry both authority and compassion, creating an atmosphere where listeners feel guided rather than instructed.
The inauguration holds added emotional depth as the Rashtra Katha aligns with two significant personal milestones. January 5 marks the birthday of Param Pujya Sadhguru Shri Riteshwar Maharaj, a moment naturally woven into the spiritual flow of the Mahotsav. The day symbolizes reverence for a guide whose life and teachings continue to shape thought, discipline, and inner clarity for countless followers. Rather than celebration in form, it reflects gratitude in spirit.
Equally meaningful is January 8, associated with the birthday of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The Rashtra Katha’s journey from its inauguration to this concluding date reflects a sense of intentional completion - where cultural dialogue, spiritual reflection, and national consciousness find alignment with a personal milestone rooted in service and leadership. This framing lends the Mahotsav an emotional arc that feels organic and deeply human.
The event is hosted at Nandini Niketan, a venue prepared to reflect simplicity, tradition, and inclusiveness. Traditional aesthetics blend with modern arrangements, ensuring that the discourse remains accessible, orderly, and immersive. Every aspect of the setting reinforces the essence of the Rashtra Katha - listening with awareness and engaging with purpose.
The symbolic theme, “Banke Bihari to Awadh Bihari,” reflects a transition from playful devotion to principled living. It highlights the idea that spirituality reaches its highest expression when aligned with duty, discipline, and national consciousness. This underlying message subtly shapes the inauguration, setting the intellectual and emotional framework for the discourse that follows.
Set in the sacred city of Ayodhya, the Rashtra Katha draws strength from centuries of spiritual legacy while addressing the present moment. The inauguration does not merely open a series of discourses; it establishes Ayodhya once again as a space where tradition speaks to the present and guides the future.
In essence, the inauguration of the Divine Historic Rashtra Katha Mahotsav stands as a composed yet powerful beginning - defined by purpose, reverence, and human connection. Guided by the presence of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and illuminated by the voice of Param Pujya Sadhguru Shri Riteshwar Ji, the Mahotsav reflects a journey where personal milestones, national values, and spiritual wisdom come together in quiet strength.
