November 11, 2015 shall go down the lines of our history as one of the most sacred days for the immense joy and jubilation of Bhutanese. Hence I also take it as a golden opportunity to jolt down about the day in my chronicle.
The media reported that tens of hundreds of Bhutanese from all the the four approaches started mushrooming Changlimithang stadium as early as 5 am for the great and the only one time opportunity in everyone's life. I am not sad for I couldn't be present for that day, I am equally happy as all Bhutanese who had the opportunity to be present there. Thanks to the advanced technology for I could access all the joys of the day.
The grace of both our hereditary Kings towering amongst lucky Bhutanese would have been no different from the beam and shimmer of the Sun and Moon simultaneously. And the Drukpas present there would have been like the twinkling stars. I read from news and our fellow citizens uploads in social media in detail about the day. The joy was unprecedented, and still we are happy. As fifth King recalled our former King's achievement some people are said to have shed tears. His Majesty the fifth Druk Gyalpo lauded the nation with the most eloquent speech, simple to comprehend and sincere in tone worth of nation's utmost trust.
We rejoice and will be rejoicing ever about the greatness of day. It became more auspicious and more fulfilling when His Majesty the King bespoke thus, " ...I am deeply pleased to announce that Jetsun and I look forward to the birth of our son in the coming Losar." Calling the prince yet to born as 'People's Son,' His Majesty added to the nation's joy by stating His own happiness for He could bring forth the news on the auspicious birthday of our former King.
People call the day as convergence of past, present and future. Rejoicing the pinnacle of the Great Fourth's achievement, feeling the grace of present monarch and the seed of trust sown about the firmness of future. We now have a future as bright as today as there will be Crown Prince born to continue the undiluted linage of Pema Lingpa and sublime line of Wangchuck dynasty. National Chairperson, Honorable Lyonpo Sonam Kinga has updated his Facebook status mentioning the auspicious signs seen on the day. The snowfall at ancestral seat of Drukpa lineage in Phajoding Goenpa at Thimphu, from where the 13th Century Phajo Drugom Zhigpo spread his teachings could be a holy sign of the Prince's divine birth.
Like wise the former DDC Secretary Dasho Sherab Gyeltshen has stipulated that the display of auspicious behavior by the White horse Tashi on the ground as a welcome to the Prince as it happened just the moment before father King announced His birth.
Hence our aspirations are fulfilling. Like every Bhutanese my family and I also join the nation in praying for the continued peace in our country and in the world. May we welcome our Prince who will carry forward this highly respected position of turning the wheel of Dharma. I am happy for my son can be a loyal and contended citizen to serve under the sixth King like we please to serve our present King. Joy as such will be for ever etched in our hearts...
Thanks!!!
