PRESS RELEASE

No. SKM/GOV/PRO/1560/12                                                           Dated: 9th July, 2012

His Excellency the Governor of Sikkim, Shri Balmiki Prasad Singh extends his warm greetings to the people of Sikkim on the occasion of Bhanu Jayanti 2012.
“The 198th Bhanu Jayanti Samaroha (Celebrations) being held this year in Sikkim will be a three day long State-level event featuring several programmes. The celebrations will display the unity, harmony and solidarity that exist among the different communities of Sikkim.
I am glad to join all of you in celebrations of Bhanu Jayanti this year as well.
            Bhanu Bhakta Acharya was a great scholar of the Nepali language, who left his legacy and pre-eminence in the world of literature. He was responsible for bringing about a literary and spiritual awakening in the Nepali literary realm. His works have inspired not only those who speak the Nepali language but also writers, poets and litterateurs of other languages as well. His immortal epic on the life and deeds of Lord Ram continue to inspire people in India and Nepal. His poetic works have gone into strengthening of spiritual foundations of our society.
The Government of Sikkim has taken laudable steps towards protection, preservation and promotion of the Nepali language, literature and traditional values in the light of contributions made by the Adi-Kabi and his followers. This has been enthusiastically supported by the people of Sikkim over the years.
            On this happy occasion, I pay homage to Bhanu Bhakta Acharya. I also take this opportunity to congratulate and wish the Bhanu Jayanti Organizing Committee and the Sikkimese people all the success in their continued effort to keep this noble tradition alive.”

                                                                                                                        PRO to H.E.
