Earlier, V.H.P.General Secretary Sri Raghavulu speaking on the occasion narrated that entire country celebrates Hanuman Jayanthi joyfully. He explained that despite the efforts by the British for 200 years to disrupt unity among Indians by creating caste, religious, language and regional differences, it did not work. He also said that the whole country responds in a similar manner about the motherland, festivals take place on the same day, all Gods are one for all the people of the country and Bharat is Jagat- Guru for the world. He explained that the three seed-letters that appear in Jai Sri Ram reflect the glory of Agni, Sun and Moon and to rise to the level of most powerful personality, chanting of this Mantra is sufficient. Hanuman converted his strength into devotion, he said. Human should convert into divine and to lead an ideal life one should emulate the lives of great personalities, Sri Raghavulu exhorted.
HINDUS SHOULD UNITE - Sri M.V.R.Sastry
Sri M.V.R.Sastry,editor of Andhra Bhoomi, a Telugu daily said that time has come for Hindus to unite once again. He said that everyone should acquire the strength of powerful and wise Hanuman. He further said that Hindus do not know their strength and though they are 80% of the population, since they are divided on caste, group and regional lines, those numbering only 13.8% of the population are becoming majority and becoming big vote banks and Governments are bowing to them and conceding to their demands. During 1880, a great cow protection movement took place and it is time for such a spirit of movement to once again start, he exhorted. He further said that lot of awakening and solidarity were generated during RamajanmaBhoomi movement and such awakening should again come.
Sri M.V.R.Sastry exhorted that power should go to Hindus and they should dedicate themselves for achieving this on the advent of inspiring leader Sri NarendraModi.
In this programme, Bharat Vamshi, BandariSatyanarayana, Y.BhanuPrakash, Dinesh Babu, Ramgopal Naidu and various district presidents also participated.
