Jio added digital strings of reverence, crores of devotees will be able to do virtual journey to Amarnath
Millions of devotees of Baba Barfani will now be able to visit him online. Devotees can now watch Baba’s special aarti in the morning and evening live on JioTV. For this, Reliance Jio has made special arrangements. A new channel named ‘Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board’ has been started on JioTV for live streaming from Shri Amarnath Ji.
Devotees can now also conduct live pujas, live havans, etc. through the video conferencing app Geomeet. Meaning, devotees will get such a virtual worship hall on Geomeet in which apart from the devotee, the priest of Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board will also be virtually present. The puja or havan will be performed by the priest in the holy cave with the pronunciation of the name and gotra of the devotee. The virtual worship with mantras and shlokas will feel as if the worship is being done sitting in front of the Linga in the Amarnath cave.
The virtual live pooja can be booked through the Board’s website and the board’s mobile application. Once the booking process is complete, a link will be sent to the devotees on JioMeet and they will be able to join at their specific booking time.
The Jammu and Kashmir administration had taken the decision to cancel the Amarnath Yatra this year due to Corona. This is the second consecutive year that the Amarnath Yatra has been cancelled. In spite of difficult geographical conditions and bad weather, Reliance Jio built the necessary infrastructure for live streaming in a few days, so that Baba’s devotees do not feel sorry for not having darshan. For bandwidth, several kilometers of fiber cable has been laid from Baltal, the base camp of Amarnathji to Amarnath cave. Along with the customers of Jio, other users will also be able to take advantage of Amarnath ji’s darshan. Reliance Jio has created ‘Amarnath Darshan Channel’ on JioChat. Through this channel of JioChat app available for free on Play Stores, a devotee living in any corner of the world will now be able to easily watch Baba Barfani’s live darshan. Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board will use this channel of JioChat to inform its followers, live aarti timings, details of donation method etc. and home delivery of prasad etc.
Worship of Bam Bam Bhole is not possible without music. For the gullible devotees, JioSaavan has created a playlist named ‘Chalo-Amarnath’ full of songs, aartis, eulogies and bhajans.
