Lucknow,

Nov 07 (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's spiritual and

philosophical commitment to ancient Indian values emphasizes the symbolic

importance of lamps (diya) during festivals such as Deepotsav in Ayodhya.

Enlightenment

of Consciousness: The lamp is considered as more than simply a physical object

composed of clay and oil, but as a symbol of inner wisdom, intellect, and spiritual

enlightenment.

Effortlessness

of Light: Rather than expending energy battling bad forces (darkness), one

should concentrate on creating positivity, wisdom, and justice.

Inherent

Power of Truth: Just as a single lamp dispels rooms of darkness without

conflict, the presence of truth and knowledge naturally destroys ignorance and

negativity.

Uttar

Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath conveyed a message linking the monumental

festivities in Ayodhya with the essence of Sanatan Dharma, highlighting the involvement

of citizens throughout the country. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged the

public to synchronize their personal festivities with the important events of

Shri Ram Janmabhoomi. He presents the lighting of lamps not just as a local ceremony,

but as a worldwide declaration of timeless truth, morality, and the triumph of

light over darkness. Devotees are encouraged to light up their homes,

doorsteps, and courtyards at the same time as the happenings in Ayodhya, forming

a unified national display of belief.

“A

lamp is not merely an earthen vessel; it is the awakening of consciousness. For

ages, it has taught us that we need not fight darkness—we need only light a

lamp, and darkness departs. The sacred festival of lights, celebrated in Shri

Ayodhya Dham, the foremost of the seven sacred cities, amid the joy and

jubilation of the arrival of Lord Shri Ram, the embodiment of righteousness,

makes this truth manifest. Today, with Mother Sarayu as our witness, we are all

set to celebrate the 10th Deepotsav in the city Lord Shri Ram holds dearer than

life itself.

Ayodhya’s

Deepotsav is a grand festival of the revival of our faith, self-respect, and

eternal consciousness. When lamps are lit at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, light lamps

in your own homes and courtyards too. Come, let us celebrate the proclamation

of eternal truth. Victory, victory to Lord Shri Ram!” remarked UP CM in a post
