Lucknow, 28

Oct (HS): “Wahe Guru Ji Da Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ji Di Fateh. (The Khalsa belongs

to God, and victory belongs to God). Any historical story written on sacrifice

and martyrdom is a new inspiration not only for the present but also for the

generations to come. Today, we all are receiving this inspiration through the

Charan Suhave Guru Charan Yatra. Today, I participated in the program organized

in Lucknow to welcome the Charan Suhave Guru Charan Yatra of the holy 'Jode

Sahib' of the founder of Khalsa Panth, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and

Mata Sahib Kaur Ji. On arrival in Lucknow with the holy Yatra, Hearty

congratulations to Honorable Union Minister Shri @HardeepSPuri on behalf of the

people of the state and devotees. A tribute to the Sikh tradition...,” mentions

On Tuesday,

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Minister Hardeep Singh

Puri attended the ceremonial reception of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata

Sahib Kaur Ji's Holy Jore Sahib at Gurudwara Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib in

Lucknow. During the function, Chief

Minister Adityanath was felicitated at the Gurudwara for his presence and

involvement. The Chief Minister thanked Union Minister Hardeep Puri for the

chance to participate in the Guru Charan Yatra and attend Guru Gobind Singh's

anniversary festivities. He added that

seeing Guru Gobind Singh's and Mata Sahib Kaur's holy feet is a treasure.

“According to

Gurbani, wherever Guru Maharaja's holy feet fall, the land becomes as hallowed

as Rama Rajya. We are fortunate to be

able to visit the holy feet of Guru Maharaja and Guru Sahiba during the Guru

Charan Yatra. On this occasion, I offer

my sincere thanks to Union Minister because we are celebrating the 350th

martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur,” Adityanath explained.

The Chief Minister emphasized the importance

of Sikh Gurus to India's spiritual and historical legacy, saying it was an honour

to be associated with Guru Charan Yatra. I am honored to be a part of this

spiritual occasion through the Guru Charan Yatra. Sikh Gurus' contributions to India's timeless

legacy are remarkable and admirable, he remarked.

The Holy Jore

Sahib, a pair of shoes belonging to Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, and

his wife Mata Sahib Kaur, is regarded as a valuable and precious relic. These priceless antiques have been kept by

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri's family for over 300 years, representing the

Sikh Gurus' lasting heritage. The Charan

Suhawa - Guru Charan Yatra, which began on October 23 at Gurdwara Moti Bagh

Sahib, will end on November 1 at Takht Sri Patna Sahib in Bihar, Guru Gobind

Singh's birthplace.
