Patna. In view of the scorching heat and the huge crowd of devotees, Saint Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, Peethadhishwar Saint of Bageshwar Dham, concluded the Hanumant Katha an hour before. He has appealed to the devotees that people from outside should not come here now. He also appealed to the local people (around Naubatpur) to come in less numbers from tomorrow. He also expressed his desire to postpone the divine court to be held on 15th May. By the way, there has been talk of taking a final decision on this issue tomorrow morning. Pandit Dhirendra Shastri has said that the story will continue, but you people should enjoy the story from your homes. That story is of no use, due to which any harm can be done.
Ten lakh devotees reached to listen to the story
Baba Dhirendra Shastri said that till date such a crowd had not gathered for my story. Organizers have told that in this scorching heat, about one million devotees have reached Taret Math of Naubatpur to listen to Hanumant Katha. There is such a crowd of devotees, on top of that it is very hot. People will feel suffocated due to the dust blowing due to the crowd. There should be no problem for the devotees, so the court will have to be stopped. The story will go on for five days, but the divine court does not seem appropriate in such a situation.
Appeal not to come in the sun
Baba Dhirendra Shastri told the devotees coming from outside Patna that they would watch and listen to Hanumant Katha on TV on social media, but would not come to Naubatpur. Seeing the huge crowd of devotees and the humidity, Dhirendra Shastri today ended the story before the scheduled time. He said that from tomorrow you people will not come to listen to the story. I am worried about any untoward incident in such a crowd and in such heat. You people came in such numbers to listen to Hanumant Katha, we will never forget your favor.
