Gorakhpur, 04 March (HS): Gorakshapeethadhiswar and

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that dignity, vitality, devotion, and

harmony in human life are the strengths of Sanatan Dharma. In this context, the

people of Uttar Pradesh should feel proud that all the major heritage sites

that inspire dignity, the vitality of eternal consciousness, the joy of

devotion, and harmony are located in this state.

On Wednesday, Chief Minister Yogi was addressing a

large gathering at the inauguration of the Colorful Shobha Yatra of Lord Narsinghji,

organized by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Shri Holikotsav

Samiti (Shri Holi Utsav Samiti) from Ghantaghar on the auspicious occasion of

Holi. Extending Holi greetings and best wishes to all citizens, the Chief

Minister said that India is today realizing how heritage should be preserved.

The Kashi Vishwanath Dham in Kashi, the construction of a grand temple for Lord

Shri Ram at the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, the Mahakal Lok Dham in Mahakal,

the magnificent Kedarnath Dham in Kedarnath, the magnificent Badri Vishal Dham

in Badrinath, the grand Somnath Dham, Jagannath Dham, and the grand

Rameshwarpuri shrines make India proud of its heritage. This is possible

because of the successful leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Under

this leadership, heritage preservation is taking place, and the vision of

Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat is also being realized.

The sentiment of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat has to

be made a part of life: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that Uttar Pradesh

is the soul of India. Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Shri Ram, gives us a

sense of dignity in life. Kashi, the city of Mahadev, symbolizes the eternal

consciousness of life, i.e., vitality. Mathura, Vrindavan, the city of Lord

Krishna, is a land of devotional joy. Meanwhile, the Triveni of Mother Ganga,

Yamuna, and Saraswati in Prayagraj provide a sense of harmony, where people

from all walks of life take a holy dip without discrimination. This is also a

lesson for those who raise the issue of casteism, discrimination, and

untouchability in the state. He said that some narrow-minded people had created

such a drama to weaken society. We must work to strengthen India and align

ourselves with the concept of a developed India. We must make the spirit of Ek

Bharat Shreshtha Bharat a part of our lives.

Indians feel proud of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak

Sangh: CM Yogi said that this year's Holi festival is also significant for us

because it marks the centenary of the world's largest cultural organization,

the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. It is an organization under whose guidance

millions of workers have dedicated their entire lives to the traditions of

India's Sanatan Dharma and the unity and integrity of India. The Chief Minister

said that the importance of discipline in life can be learned from the

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The RSS's Path Sanchalan programs, which began on

Vijayadashami, showcased the discipline of Hindu conventions designed to

strengthen social harmony. Every segment of society participated in these

programs, but there was no disruption or threat to law and order. The Chief

Minister said that all Indians feel proud of the RSS, a successful organization

dedicated to ensuring the ultimate glory of Mother India.

There is turmoil all over the world, but there is

excitement and joy in India: CM Yogi said that we are celebrating Holi in India

at a time when the entire world is experiencing chaos, unrest, and anarchy.

However, under the successful leadership of PM Modi, India is enjoying this

festival with enthusiasm and excitement. There is no fear, no anarchy, no

distrust. There is a spirit of Satyamev Jayate everywhere, and the echo of

Where there is Dharma, there is victory. This sentiment is our

eternal motto, and we can hear its echoes everywhere.

Gorakshapeeth is a symbol of harmony and

nationalism: Ramesh - Welcoming Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on this

occasion, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's provincial pracharak Ramesh said that

this colorful procession, started by Nanaji Deshmukh in Gorakhpur 81 years ago,

has sent a broad message to the entire country. Gorakshapeeth has also played

an important role in this. He said that Gorakshapeeth is a symbol of harmony,

intimacy, nationalism, and patriotism. Ramesh said that under the leadership of

Gorakshapeethadhiswar and Chief Minister Yogi, the state is experiencing rapid

development, and Gorakhpur's development is particularly noteworthy.
