Singer Maithili Thakur is a multilingual singer born in Benipatti, Bihar. He has sung songs in Hindi, Bhojpuri and Maithali. Maithili Thakur and her two younger brothers have been showing their talent in singing since a very young age. Especially during the time of Covid 19, she became quite famous on social media due to her cultural songs and bhajans. He also received a lot of affection and love from the public in a private program “Jashn-e-Rekhta”.
Now let us talk about the song sung by her in which Mata Sabari’s selfless devotion towards Lord Ram is praised. As it is told in Ramayana, how Mother Sabari had served Lord Shri Ram by feeding him her plucked half eaten berries when he was in exile. Here is the full Bhajan Link of Video of Singer Maithili Thakur which PM quoted in his tweet :
In connection with this Pran Pratistha, different announcements, inaugurations and other preparations are going on, in which yesterday Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a commemorative postage stamp on the Ayodhya temple of Lord Ram to the nation. Similarly, some more postage stamps were launched in which Ayodhya Temple, Lord Ganesha, Lord Hanuman, Jatayu, Kevatraj and Maa Sabari were prominent.
Seeing the importance of Pran Pratistha of January 22, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that people had been waiting for this occasion for centuries, which is now about to end, as a result, we the people of Uttar Pradesh should welcome the devotees coming from all over the world. They will get a chance to serve and we will show them how Uttar Pradesh serves all Ram devotees.
Similarly, the Chief Minister’s Office also posted a number of guidelines on the official social media website X in which make Ayodhya plastic free was prominent. The Chief Minister Office further directed, “People from all over the world are going to come to Ayodhya. The behaviour of the policemen posted here will affect the image of the state. In such a situation, they should be counselled.
This long-awaited ceremony of Pran Pratishta of the child-like idol of Ram Lalla is an opportunity to introduce Uttar Pradesh with its hospitality culture. Efforts should be made to make Shri Ayodhya Dham free from single-use plastic. In the Pran Pratishtha event, there is a programme of showering flowers on the ‘Navya-Divya-Bhavya temple. Given this, communicate or coordinate with the officials of the Trust and the Air Force. Do not allow traffic on the old bridge of the Saryu River. Keep water police active in the Saryu River.”
