After the Hanuman Chalisa, loudspeaker controversy released in Maharashtra, controversy has also started regarding the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. Today the Parliament of Religions is being organized in Nashik on this dispute. Section 144 has been imposed in the entire city before this Dharma Sansad to be held in Anjaneri area of the city at 11 am. Not only this, Tahrir has also been given in the police station to stop the Rath Yatra of its organizer Mahant Govind Das. Nashik Police has issued notice to the organizers to maintain law and order.
Actually, Mahant Govind Das claims that the birthplace of Lord Hanuman was in Kishkindha, Karnataka. For this, he is going to take out a Rath Yatra from Anjaneri to Ayodhya. Nashik Police has not given approval for this. In this Dharma Sansad, there will be a gathering of knowledgeable people of Ramayana, Vedas and Sanskrit from all over the country. In such a situation, it is believed that there may be a ruckus during the debate.
The people of Ajneri along with local saints staged a protest against today’s Dharma Sansad and Rath Yatra.
Local villagers are opposing the Rath Yatra
The people of Ajneri are continuously opposing this Rath Yatra. On Monday evening, the local villagers staged a protest. In view of the confrontational situation, a large number of police arrangements have been made in the village. The chariot present in Ajneri has also been thrown out of the village by the police. It is believed that despite not getting permission from the police, the Rath Yatra will start from Nashik city.
The people of Ajneri say that Lord Hanuman was born here.
Hanuman ji was born in Kishkindha: Govind Das
Mahant Govind Das of Kishkindha, citing Valmiki Ramayana, claims that Lord Hanuman was not born in Anjaneri in Nashik, but in Kishkindha in Karnataka. He cited scriptures in support of his claim. Mahant has given an open challenge to debate the issue. The Parliament of Religions has been convened today (May 31) regarding this dispute.
A large number of police forces have been deployed in Ajneri.
Mahant Govind Das has appealed to the saints of Nashik to prove on the basis of scriptures that Anjaneri is the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. The Mahant said that the place of birth always remains the same and Maharishi Valmiki has nowhere written in Ramayana that Hanuman ji was born in Anjaneri village of Nashik.
The people of Ajneri have given a complaint to the police to stop the Rath Yatra.
Claims related to the birthplace of Lord Hanuman
Earlier, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam in Andhra Pradesh had claimed that the birthplace of Lord Hanuman took place on Anjanadri mountain in Hampi area of Karnataka. At the same time, according to some mythology, Bajrangbali was born in a cave in Anjan village near Gumla district of Jharkhand. Some people attribute the birthplace of Lord Hanuman to Anjaneri hills near Nashik.
Movement due to birthplace dispute wrong: Bhujbal
Nashik’s Guardian Minister Chhagan Bhujbal said that there are many issues including inflation, unemployment in the country. Farmers are also facing many problems. In such a situation, it is wrong to create controversy about the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. He said that neither the Maharashtra government nor the court has anything to say about Anjaneri’s birthplace, then why this agitation? It is wrong to come to Anjaneri and dispute. This movement will harm our children and farmers. He also appealed that no one should be a part of the movement.
