Lucknow,

Nov 14 (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has paid emotional

respects on Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj's Jyoti Jot Divas, celebrating the

tenth Guru and creator of the Khalsa Panth for his unrivaled heroism,

sacrifice, and devotion to safeguarding religion and human liberties. Jyoti Jot

Divas commemorates the day in 1708 when Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj united

with Divine at Sri Huzur Sahib in Nanded, capping a life committed to

righteousness, justice, and safeguarding the people and culture against foreign

invaders. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath regularly emphasizes the

teachings and heroic sacrifices of Sikh Gurus, saying that Guru Gobind Singh

founded Khalsa Panth in 1699 to equip people to act bravely against injustice.

In

a post on X, he remarked, “Countless salutations on the Jyoti Jot Divas of the

Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, who gave us an immortal message of

protecting faith, serving humanity, and fighting injustice. The life of Guru

Maharaj is an immortal saga of renunciation, penance, and sacrifice that

inspires us to remain steadfast in our principles even in adverse

circumstances. His ideals will forever continue to illuminate our thoughts and

guide us in our duties.”
