Lucknow,

18 Dec (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while addressing the inaugural

function of the centenary celebrations of Bhatkhande Sanskriti University,

Lucknow said, The soul of the nation lies in its culture. Just as when a

human soul leaves its connection with the body, the body becomes dull.

Similarly, if the culture of a nation is separated from it, the nation becomes

dull, becomes a ruin, and loses its identity. Chief Minister Yogi said,

This year we organised the Mahakumbh of this century. Those who believed

that today's youth is turning away from its culture must have seen that more

than 66 crore people attended this Mahakumbh. The largest number of attendees

were youth.”

The

Chief Minister said, The first sound of this universe is Om. When you try

to listen to it in yoga, it will resonate like a sound. This is the truth of

the universe. This is what science says. Spirituality also says this, culture

also says this, and the university is also saying this that this universe is

under the influence of sound. The practice done through different genres of

music to recognize that sound is a part of music.

The

Chief Minister said that today I am happy that Uttar Pradesh is such a state

from where Prime Minister Modi himself represents the country's Parliament as an

MP. Sonal Man Singh, who was present here as our special guest, said that when

we dance here, Lord Shiva appears before us in the form of Nataraja. When we

are giving rhythm to our voice on the Veena, then Goddess Saraswati herself is

in front of us. When we are doing a dialogue in a play, then the dignity of Ram

is visible in front of us at that time and when we are immersed in some Rasa,

then the Rasa Dhara of Krishna is also seen joining us. Where will you find all

this, everything is present in Uttar Pradesh.
