Gorakhpur,

05 March (HS): On the auspicious occasion of Rangotsav, a Holi Milan ceremony

was organized at the Gorakhnath Temple on Wednesday afternoon under the

leadership of Gorakhpeethadhiswar and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. On this

occasion, Chief Minister Yogi showered flowers on the crowd gathered at the

Holi Milan event and extended heartfelt greetings and best wishes to everyone

for Holi. At the ceremony, the Chief Minister said that only those forces that

move forward with positive thinking are always victorious.

Speaking

at the Holi Milan ceremony held at the Mahant Digvijaynath Smriti Bhavan

auditorium of the Gorakhnath Temple, Chief Minister Yogi said that there are

always two types of forces in society: one positive and the other negative.

Negative forces always encourage destructive activities, while positive forces

move forward with a good plan of action, and their results are always pleasant.

Celebrating Holi with peace, joy, happiness, and enthusiasm is also the result

of moving forward with positive thinking.

The

Chief Minister said that the followers of Sanatan Dharma living in the country

and the world felt proud of their heritage by celebrating Holi, the great

festival of harmony, with zeal and enthusiasm. Only those people question the

superiority of Sanatan Dharma who do not feel the significance of a festival

like Holi. There is neither discrimination nor untouchability in a festival

like Holi. The festivals and celebrations of Sanatan Dharma are associated with

some important transformative event. Through these, our Rishi tradition has

inspired the society to follow a new direction, the path of religion and duty.

The festivals and celebrations of Sanatan Dharma are not solitary but have a

sense of collectivity in them. Every section of the society participates in it.

India

thinks in the right direction: The Chief Minister said that while the world is

in chaos today, festivals are being celebrated with peace and joy in India.

This is because India's thinking has always been positive. India thinks in the

right direction. India has never said or done anything bad to anyone. And, when

it has not done or said anything bad, it has never suffered any harm either.

Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that for the country's progress, we must all

fulfill our civic responsibilities in our respective areas with a nation-first

spirit. Devotion must be linked to patriotism. Lord Shri Ram, Shri Krishna, and

Narasimha will be present in every era; the need is to awaken devotion like

that of Hanuman, Arjun, and Prahlad.

CM

Yogi enjoyed Holi songs, played Holi with flowers: In the Holi Milan program,

After listening to the Holi songs, the Chief Minister played Holi with flowers
