After the grand conclusion of the Sundarkand recitation, CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal said that he, along with his wife, joined in the worship of ‘Hanuman ji’ during the Shri Sundarkand recitation organized at the Rohini Temple. “I prayed to Bhagwan Hanuman and Bhagwan Rama for everyone’s progress, security, prosperity, and well-being. We are committed to conducting Sundarkand recitations across Delhi on the first Tuesday of every month. This will be good for everyone’s overall progress, happiness, and peace. Bhagwan Hanuman and Bhagwan Rama will bless us in return,” the AAP National Convenor said.
