Lucknow, 19 Aug (HS): On Tulsi Jayanti (birth anniversary)

festivities, Yogi Adityanath attends major state ceremonies and pays public

honours to famed saint-poet Goswami Tulsidas, author of the Ramcharitmanas,

particularly by visiting his birthplace/memorial sites in Chitrakoot and

Rajapur. Chitrakoot and Rajapur, holy

places associated with Tulsidas' life and work, are frequently the sites of

celebrations and speeches. CM Yogi prays at Tulsi Janmkutir, visits rare

Ramcharitmanas manuscripts at Manas Mandir, and unveils commemorative

monuments.

The Chief Minister emphasizes Tulsidas's significant contribution in raising

public awareness and uniting society through devotion (bhakti) and cultural

power. Announcements are routinely made to transform Chitrakoot and adjoining

heritage places into significant self-sustaining hubs of faith, safety, and

tourism infrastructure.

In a post on X, he stated, “Hold the lamp of Ram's name at

the threshold of your heart's door. Tulsidas, if you seek inner and outer

illumination. On the birth anniversary of the creator of the immortal epic

'Shri Ramcharitmanas', the great poet of the devotional stream, the revered

'Pujyapad' Goswami Tulsidas Ji Maharaj, millions of salutations and heartfelt

congratulations to the people of the state. Through his divine compositions, he

conveyed the nectar-like message of Lord Shri Ram's ideals, eternal culture,

and Indian life values to one and all. His timeless literature is an eternal

guide for the welfare of the world.
