On the occasion of Hanuman Janmotsav in Delhi on Thursday, Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader and Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj led a grand procession in his assembly constituency in the National Capital. The Shobha Yatra, accompanied by drums and bands, was joined by hundreds of people, and the city reverberated with songs, dances, and chants of “Jai Shri Ram, Jai Hanuman.” Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj also distributed prasad to the people of the area on this auspicious occasion.
The procession was met with enthusiasm not only by the Hindu community, but also from members of the Muslim and Sikh communities. The latter groups presented a heart-warming example of humanity and mutual love by welcoming the Shobha Yatra with flowers and presenting Shri Saurabh Bhardwaj with Hanuman ji’s mace. Shri Saurabh Bharadwaj later tweeted, “This is Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Delhi, where the Shobha Yatra was embraced by the Muslim community. Kamaluddin Sahab gave me the mace and said that unity is the greatest religion, and festivals are for everyone, without hatred between us”.
Shri Saurabh Bharadwaj also went on to participate in the procession that followed for around 8-10 kilometres. The Shobha Yatra was completed peacefully without any heavy security and arrangements. Apart from this, Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj reached the ancient Hanuman Temple in Chirag Delhi village and worshiped it. After worshiping, he himself distributed the prasad of Bhandara to the people. In another tweet, senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj wrote, “I was privileged to attend the Hanuman Janmotsav organized in Delhi. I pray to Bajrangbali ji that under the leadership of Honourable Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, our India goes on to become the number one country in the world, Jai Bajrangbali”.
It is worth mentioning that every year Shri Saurabh Bharadwaj takes out a procession on the occasion of Hanuman Janmotsav. It is an annual event in which the members of the Muslim community also participate. Today, during this grand event organized on the occasion of Hanuman Janmotsav, flowers were showered on the devotees carrying out the procession at various places. Hanuman devotees were seen dancing to devotional songs in the procession.
Like every year, this year as well the Hanuman Janmotsav was celebrated with double the enthusiasm. After the conclusion of the Shobha Yatra, Shri Saurabh Bharadwaj also visited the Hanuman Temple located at Yamuna Bazar, near ISBT. At the Yamuna Bazar temple, he visited the Hanumanji of Marghat along with thousands of devotees and prayed for the progress and development of the country.
