Shadadhara Pratishta Ceremonies to Begin for Vrindavan Guruvayur Temple

Mohanji Foundation to hold Shadadhara Pratishta ceremonies from June 15th –18th in Braj Bhoomi

UTTAR PRADESH, NOT APPLICABLE, INDIA, June 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Mohanji Bharat Welfare Foundation is deeply honoured to announce the Shadadhara Pratishta and Foundation Ceremonies for the Vrindavan Guruvayur Krishna Temple. This sacred initiative, envisioned by Brahmarishi Mohanji, brings the divine child form of Lord Krishna—Guruvayurappan—from the revered Guruvayur Temple in Kerala to his original ‘leela-sthal’, Vrindavan.

“This is a divine return,” said Brahmarishi Mohanji. “Lord Krishna, in the form of Guruvayurappan, comes back to Vrindavan. This foundational Shadadhara Pratishta is not just about placing stones—it’s laying energetic roots that will bless the land and generations to come.”

The Shadadhara Pratishta is one of the most spiritually significant and intricate rituals in Vedic temple architecture, rarely performed and deeply transformative. It marks the beginning of both the spiritual and physical construction of the temple, laying a sacred energy grid beneath the sanctum that aligns with the human chakra system.

Highlights of the Ceremony
• Shadadhara Pratishta:
A rare ritual involving the installation of six sacred elements—Aadharashila, Nidhikumbha, Ashtadalapadma, Koorma, Yoganala, and Napumsakashila. Each structure aligns with the chakras and anchors divine energy into the sanctum, making the temple an energetic powerhouse for spiritual seekers.

• Aadharashila Sthapana:
The ceremonial laying of the temple’s foundation stone beneath the sanctum marked both a physical and spiritual genesis.

• Garbhanyasa Ceremony:
The placement of a sanctified treasure pot at the heart of the temple symbolises the divine “womb” and life force of the deity.

• Vaastu Bali:
A powerful harmonising ritual invoking elemental and directional energies to bless the temple land.

Why This Matters

“The Vrindavan Guruvayur temple project is a landmark project for Mohanji Foundation”, says Madhusudan Rajagopalan, CEO of Mohanji Foundation. “We are not just building a temple, but recreating a temple village ecosystem, representing the highest traditions of Sanatana Dharma. Spirituality, bhakti, annadaan, service to humans through a home for widows, service to animals through an animal shelter – there would be fulfilment for every seeker in this grand endeavour. We are very excited about the first sacred milestone ceremony coming up this June and seek everyone’s support and blessings to take this forward.”

Participation in the Shadadhara Pratishta—either in person or by making offerings—is considered exceptionally auspicious. Every contribution, regardless of its size, is a testament to the devotion and capacity, bringing us closer to building a spiritual haven for Lord Krishna and paving the way for the eternal Vaikunthaloka, while safeguarding our spiritual heritage. As per Vedic tradition, it brings:

• Lifelong blessings
• Deep inner purification
• Spiritual merit (punya)
• Legacy-building through dharmic service

Mohanji adds, “The energetic impact of this ceremony will uplift not just this land but the entire region and country. It will sustain many lives—human and beyond.”
