What Is Akhand Ramayana Path?

The enormous historic literature “Shri Ram Charitra Manas” chronicled the victories and tribulations in Lord Rama’s life, the seventh manifestation of Lord Vishnu. As the pinnacle of a perfect son, spouse, brother, friend, and monarch, Lord Sri Rama is also called “Purushottam,” which means the “Supreme Persona” in Sanskrit. 

As a result, Akhand Ramayan Paath is frequently repeated to teach all about Lord Sri Rama’s life and to help us understand and embrace the traits of the superior being.

The complete content contains seven kaands, illustrating various periods of Lord Sri Ram’s life, including Ayodhyakand, Kishkindhakand, Aranyakand, Sundarkand, Uttarkand, and Lankakand. Every kaand explains Lord Sri Ram’s several stages and leelas (acts). It is believed in Hinduism that following this route eliminates impediments from life and gives luck. 

Starting with Gauri Ganesh Kalash Puja, the principal pandit conducts the path as a group (mandli) of pandits play the manjeeras, dholaks, and certain other instruments. At the same time, they sing bhajans and kirtans in praise of Lord Sri Ram.

How is Akhand Ramayan Path Done?

The Akhand Ramayan Path is conducted to honor Lord Sri Ram by reciting and singing his teachings continuously for 24 hours on any auspicious or special day. Lord Sri Ram and their bhakt Hanuman Ji are the primary deities worshipped during the path. 

The Karta is believed to be inspired to act with integrity, bravery, and righteousness as they follow the Akhanda Ramayana Path. Performing the path safeguards against any threat posed by wicked forces and facilitates business startup success. Besides, the family also benefits by getting success and happiness.

Akhand Ramayana Path Vidhi

Hindu philosopher and poet Saint Tulsidas Goswami, a devoted servant of Lord Sri Ram, authored “Shri Ram Charitra Manas” in the 16th century. The literature was a Sanskrit version of the Ramayana by Sage or Rishi Valmiki. Akhand Ramayan Paath is the practice of reciting the complete “Shri Ram Charitra Manas” continuously and without interruption. Its vidhi is as follows:

• The Akhand Ramayan Paath has recited aloud. It is necessary to keep everything prepared and readily accessible to prevent any disturbances in Path. Typically, the Akhand Ramayan Paath is performed in front of larger crowds in villages and shrines for the welfare of everybody or at home for special or auspicious days.

• All statues or photos of gods are ready to reside on a platform facing east. For every deity, a similar mandala is decorated with banana leaves across all 4 corners. Wrap a clean rag around the diyas.
• And over Tulsi leaves on the diyas, arrange the sculptures of Lord Sri Ram, Goddess Sita, Lord Ganesha, Lord Hanuman, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Parvati.
• A Kalash with coconut on the top is placed in front of Lord Sri Ram’s statue or photo.
• On a side, bhog (Prasad), flowers, and fruits are arranged, while on the other side, offerings, including mishri, cardamom, cloves, supari, etc., are arranged.
• Diyas are lit in front of devotees, and a larger Diya is placed to endure throughout the puja.
• Akhand Ramayan Path involves many rituals, including Agni Sthapan, Brahma Sthapan, Navgrah Sthapan, Ram Darbar Sthapan, Lakshmi Sthapan, Kalash Sthapan, Ganesh Sthapan, Sankalp, Shanti Path, and Swasti Vachan.
• Navagraha Mantra following Akhand Ramayan Path and another recital of “Sundarkand Paath” to signal the conclusion of Akhand Ramayan Paath are rites performed as part of the puja.
• Pandits conduct yajna or honam after offering navagraha samidha, purnahuti, puja samagri, and aarti. When the puja is over, the Bhog is served to the Brahmins, and the rest of the people receive prasad.
