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.
