On the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Janamotsav, Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal greeted all those gathered at the celebrations and said, “Lord Hanuman is known as ‘Sankat Mochan Hanuman’ as he drives away all the troubles of his devotees. By simply praying to him, chanting his name and worshipping him, many people feel relieved of the problems in their life. All of you have given us the responsibility to work for Delhi’s progress, and we simply take Lord Hanuman’s name, seek his blessings and do our best to rid you of all your problems. It is our aim to make sure that the people of Delhi do not have to bear with difficulties related to health, education, and other facilities – we are consistently making efforts to provide quality education to your children, free medical treatment to your ailing family members, free electricity and water, developed roads, and more.”
He added, “This year, we are commencing a new and propitious practice of the Sunder Kand Paath & Manchan. New Delhi Vidhan Sabha will mark the beginning of this novel tradition, which people will get to witness for the first time today, and throughout Delhi in the coming future. This performance will be showcased in various localities in Delhi to make the residents more aware of the life and lessons of Lord Hanuman, for them to seek inspiration as well as become more devoted followers.”
The CM further said, “In Delhi, we have a special Tirth Yatra Yojana, under which our government facilitates free pilgrimages for the elderly. We have a list of 15 sacred sites including Dwarka, Ayodhya, Haridwar-Rishikesh, Mathura-Vrindavan, Shirdi, Rameshwaram, Puri, and many more, where we send our senior citizens on pilgrimage. The cost of food, lodging, travel, which includes AC trains and accommodations, is all borne by the Delhi Government. The entire arrangement is taken care of by us, and till date more than 40,000 people have availed this Tirth Yatra scheme to go on pilgrimages. It is worth mentioning the glee on their faces after they complete their journeys – they feel so delighted after having lived out their old age dreams! Under this scheme, all the elderly of Delhi, who are above the age of 60, can register themselves, and a young attendant per senior citizen can also travel with them. Hence, as many young people as senior citizens have the option to avail this scheme. We have also arranged medical facilities for these trips on the train, as well as onsite. I appeal to everyone to take full advantage of this scheme – both going on pilgrimage, as well as facilitating these trips, holds great value for us all. I believe the more that the people of Delhi go on these Tirth Yatras across the country, the more blessed will our state feel from all the Gods and Goddesses.”
He concluded, “I once again congratulate everyone on the auspicious day of Hanuman Janamotsav. I hope and pray for health and happiness for you and your family.”
Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, “Heartfelt greetings to all on the auspicious occasion of Shri Hanuman Janamotsav. With the blessings of Bajrang Bali Pawanputra, may all your wishes come true and may your life be filled with health, enthusiasm and zeal.”
