For the first time in the history of UK‘s Parliament, the verses on Hanuman Chalisa were recited inside the Parliament House during Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri’s visit to the European country.
As per the video shared by Bageshwar Dham’s X handle, several people, officials and lawmakers were seen reciting the verses with devotion in the presence of Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, popularly known as Bageshwar Dham Baba.
“For the first time in the history of London’s Parliament… Shri Hanuman Chalisa recitation by the revered government… All guests present in the Parliament recited with devotion…,” Bageshwar Dham said in a post on X while sharing the video.
This is the first time that an Indian religious text has been recited in the British Parliament.
Earlier this year in April, Indian diaspora gathered outside the Pakistan High Commission and recited “Hanuman Chalisa” after protests broke out between Indian and Pakistani diaspora following Pahalgam terror attack which claimed the lives of 26 individuals.
Meanwhile, Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri earlier hit the headlines for his wardrobe, and his timing during his Australia tour. The young seer from Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur was heavily trolled online after photos surfaced of him wearing stylish sunglasses and a pricey-looking jacket aboard a plane and even enjoying a cruise.
