Navratri

festival of faith in mother-women power: CM Yogi

Gorakhpur,

01 Oct (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while extending his heartfelt

greetings to all the people of the state on the auspicious occasion of

Mahanavami of Sharadiya Navratri and Vijayadashami festival to be celebrated on

Thursday, said that the world cannot be imagined without women power in any

aspect of life. With this sentiment, many programs are being run for respect,

security and self-reliance towards women power. As a result of these programs,

the happy fact is that despite being the largest state in the country in terms

of population, crimes against women in Uttar Pradesh are minimum. Whereas this

state is number one in the country in terms of accotding punishment to accused

in crimes against women.

Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath, as the head of Gorakhpeetha, was speaking to media

persons on Wednesday after performing Kanya Pujan (worship of girls) on the

Mahanavami date of Sharadiya Navratri at the Gorakhnath temple. He said that

followers of Sanatan Dharma (the world's mother), twice a year during Sharadiya

and Vasantik Navratri, participate with devotion and joy in the worship and

rituals of the nine forms of Goddess Durga. In the Sanatan tradition, this

festival of faith in the mother power and women's power provides new

inspiration. This festival of Navratri makes us aware that the primordial power

of the entire universe is a form of women's power. He said that today, on the

ninth date of Sharadiya Navratri, the Kanya Pujan (worship of girls) is being

performed along with the worship of the form of Goddess Siddhidatri. He is

fortunate to have the opportunity to perform the Kanya Pujan (worship of girls)

ritual according to the sacred tradition of Gorakhpeetha.

The

government is dedicated to the safety, respect and self-reliance of women

power: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that women's power is given a very

important place in the eternal faith. With a sense of moral responsibility to

the eternal faith, the government is dedicated to the safety, respect, and self-reliance

of women. The fifth phase of Mission Shakti was launched on September 22, the

first day of Sharadiya Navratri, to ensure women's safety. Programs are being

run at the Panchayat level to promote women's safety and self-reliance.

Commendable work is being undertaken under this initiative in all districts of

the state. Mission Shakti is progressing toward new heights of success. Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that India has always held a deep respect and

reverence for women, a virtue evident in every era. Even today, India's women

have astonished the world by demonstrating their strength and power in every

field.

If

the daughter is safe then the society is safe: The Chief Minister said that

where daughters are safe and respected, the society there is also considered

safe and respectable. This is the case in Uttar Pradesh. Under the guidance of

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, schemes like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Matri

Vandana, Kanya Sumangala, and mass marriage are dedicated to the safety,

respect, and self-reliance of daughters. In this vein, the Nari Shakti Vandan

Act has also been enacted to ensure the representation of women in the highest

Panchayats of the country. CM Yogi said that 1 crore women in the state are

receiving an annual pension of Rs. 12,000 in some form. 26 lakh daughters have

been enrolled in the Kanya Sumangala Yojana, which offers a package of Rs. 25,000

for education from birth to graduation. By increasing the funding amount under

the mass marriage scheme to Rs. 100,000 per couple, poor families have been

relieved of the worry of financial difficulties in their daughters' marriages.

Vijayadashami,

the symbol of eternal victory: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also

congratulated all the people of the state on the occasion of Vijayadashami,

which will be celebrated on Thursday. He said that Vijayadashami symbolizes

India's eternal victory. It is a festival of victory of righteousness, justice,

and morality over unrighteousness, injustice, and oppression. On Vijayadashami,

effigies of Ravana, the symbol of tyranny, unrighteousness, and injustice, will

be burned, and ceremonies will be held to mark the coronation of Lord Shri Ram.
