Gorakhpur,

03 Oct (HS): During his visit to the Gorakhnath Temple complex on Friday

morning, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met many children. He showered them

with love, had a hearty conversation, and gave them chocolates. He asked about

their names and education, and offered them his blessings.

Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath's love for children is well known. His specialty is to

defy protocol, meet children, joke with them, pamper them, bless them with hard

work, and give them chocolates. This same affinity with children was evident at

the Gorakhnath Temple on Friday morning. After spending the night leading the

Vijayadashami procession on Thursday evening, his Friday morning routine was

traditional. After offering prayers to Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath, he visited the

samadhi of his departed guru, Mahant Avedyanath, and sought his blessings. As

usual, he toured the temple complex. During this time, he noticed the children

among the devotees. The Chief Minister called the children to him, asking them

each their name and class. He even joked with some of them. He interacted with

them with great affection, caressing each one's forehead and blessing them to

study diligently and progress. The Chief Minister also gave chocolates to all

the children.
