Lucknow, 31 Aug (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has sent

a special 'Pati' (letter) to the people of the state in honor of Shri Krishna

Janmashtami 2026, giving congratulations and best wishes.

Social harmony: According to CM Yogi, Lord Krishna is not just a symbol of

nobility but also of harmony, and he stands with all sections of society.

Spiritual Message: Lord Krishna's boyhood pranks are more than simply

anecdotes; they convey profound spiritual truths of simplicity, love,

innocence, and public benefit.

Dharma and Truth: According to the letter, Nandlala's appearance in jail

diffused the light of truth and Dharma in the midst of darkness, deceit, and

injustice.

Special Appeal: The public has been asked to preserve their cultural

heritage, promote mutual brotherhood, and pledge to build a glorious and

developed Uttar Pradesh.

“My esteemed fellow citizens of the state, On the midnight of Bhadrapada

Krishna Ashtami, when Nandlala manifested in the prison of Mathura, the light

of truth and righteousness burst forth amidst the darkness of untruth and

injustice. The life of Yogeshwar Lord Shri Krishna also inspires us with the

fundamental spirit of people-centric governance. Resistance against injustice,

protection of righteousness, safeguarding the weak, and public welfare were the

primary foundations of his life-philosophy. Today, with the same spirit, our

government is working to ensure dignity and security in the life of the person

standing on the last rung of society. Let us, on this Janmashtami, resolve to

preserve our heritage, foster social harmony, and build a developed and

glorious Uttar Pradesh, and imbibe the message of Shri Krishna's truth,

righteousness, action, and public welfare in our lives,” reads the letter

penned by UP CM.
