इस पावन अवसर पर आज मोरबी में हनुमान जी की इस भव्य मूर्ति का लोकार्पण हुआ है।
ये देश और दुनियाभर के हनुमान भक्तों के लिए बहुत सुखदायी है: PM @narendramodi
PM Modi further said, “Hanuman Ji connects everyone with his devotion, by his service. Everyone gets inspiration from Hanuman Ji. Hanuman is the power and strength that gave all forest-dwelling species and forest brethren the right to respect and honor. Therefore, Hanuman Ji is an important link of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’.
हनुमान जी अपनी भक्ति से, अपने सेवाभाव से, सबको जोड़ते हैं।

हर कोई हनुमान जी से प्रेरणा पाता है।
हनुमान वो शक्ति और सम्बल हैं जिन्होंने समस्त वनवासी प्रजातियों और वन बंधुओं को मान और सम्मान का अधिकार दिलाया।
इसलिए एक भारत, श्रेष्ठ भारत के भी हनुमान जी एक अहम सूत्र हैं: PM
Underlining the important role Lord Hanuman played in the life of Lord Ram, PM Modi also explained the importance of Ram Katha. He said, “Ramkatha is also organized in different parts of the country. Whatever the language dialect, the spirit of Ramkatha unites everyone, unites with the devotion toward the Lord. This is the strength of the Indian faith, our spirituality, and our culture and tradition.
रामकथा का आयोजन भी देश के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में किया जाता है।

भाषा-बोली जो भी हो, लेकिन रामकथा की भावना सभी को जोड़ती है, प्रभु भक्ति के साथ एकाकार करती है।
यही तो भारतीय आस्था की, हमारे आध्यात्म की, हमारी संस्कृति, हमारी परंपरा की ताकत है: PM @narendramodi
This statue is the second of the four statues of Lord Hanuman being built at four places in the country, one in each direction. In the north, one such statue was built at Shimla in 2010. The statue in Morbi unveiled by PM Modi is in the western part while the other two statues are being built; one in Rameshwaram and the other in West Bengal.
