During the Navratri festival, people worship in different ways. Ashok Dayma has started his unique worship again. He recites Ramcharitmanas for 2-3 hours daily, sitting in Padmasana in the pond, with a conch in one hand and the Ramayana in the other.
Performing Padmasana for 35 years
Ashok Dayma said that he learned this art from his father. He started performing this act when he was 10 years old and has been doing it for 35 years. He comes to the Mansarovar Mata Mandir pond daily and recites Ramcharitmanas.
Inspiring people with his message
Many devotees come to see him perform this act daily. He claims that he has taught many people, including children, how to swim and perform this act. He wants to pass on this legacy to the next generation.
