Guidelines for Reciting Shri Ramcharitmanas

Shri Ramcharitmanas holds a position of utmost sanctity and reverence in Hindu scriptures. According to Hindu tradition, before embarking on any auspicious undertaking or seeking the removal of obstacles, it is imperative to pay homage to Lord Ganesh.

Therefore, commence this sacred journey by invoking the divine presence of Lord Ganesh, followed by paying homage to Goddess Sarasvati, the embodiment of wisdom and eloquence. Extend your reverence to the esteemed author, Goswami Tulsidas, Sage Valmiki, Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, and the unwavering Lord Hanuman. Proceed by honoring the Divine Couple, Sita ji and Ram Ji, alongside Shri Ram's three divine siblings: Bharat ji, Lakshman ji, and Shatrughan ji. Conduct a meticulous sixteen-fold worship ritual and meditate upon their divine forms. Only after this should you commence your reading.

If you wish, you can seek the guidance of a Hindu priest to perform a brief puja or prayer before commencing your Shri Ramcharitmanas recitation. Alternatively, you can engage in meditation and offer your respectful homage as described above before beginning your reading.

The journey through Shri Ramcharitmanas can initiate with the Baal Kaand, but it is not confined by strict timelines. While it is often recited over 9 or 30 days, there is no rigid protocol. Even daily contemplation of one or two verses from Shri Ramcharitmanas, infused with unwavering faith, love, and respect, can bestow profound blessings.

You can start your exploration of Shri Ramcharitmanas by delving into the Baal Kaand, followed by the other Kaands.
