For lovers of Indian history and spirituality, a unique book, “Ramraja”, is set to be released soon. This book presents the fascinating and lesser-known story of the Ramraja Temple of Orchha, where Lord Rama is worshiped as a king, an unparalleled tradition in Indian culture.
This masterpiece is co-authored by renowned philosopher and spiritual researcher Devrishi (formerly Rishikesh Pandey) and senior IAS officer P. Narhari. It is being published by Mahagatha Publications, and the grand launch event will be graced by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav.
The Uniqueness of Ramraja – When Lord Rama Became a King
The book “Ramraja” brings to life the incredible 15th-century legend of King Madhukar Shah of Orchha and his wife Queen Ganesh Kunwari, whose devotion led to the manifestation of Lord Rama in Orchha as a king.
The Three Divine Conditions of Lord Rama
When Lord Rama agreed to travel from Ayodhya to Orchha in response to Queen Ganesh Kunwari’s prayers, he placed three unique conditions:
- He would be worshiped as a king, not just as a deity.
- Once established in Orchha, he would never be moved.
- He would be served in the manner of a royal king, with daily court proceedings and military honor.
These divine conditions laid the foundation for Orchha’s Ramraja Temple, where even today, the Indian Army salutes Lord Rama as their king – a tradition unparalleled in the world.
