Gorakhpur, 04 March (HS): Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath, while traditionally inaugurating the Holi festival at the

Gorakhnath Temple, said that Holi festival is a festival of social harmony,

enthusiasm, and joy. Festivals of joy and enthusiasm are celebrated only when

there is peace, harmony in society, a sense of security, and trust. Today,

Uttar Pradesh and the entire country have moved forward with this belief. Yogi

Adityanath wished all Indians a happy Holi and stated that there is no tension,

terror, disorder, or hooliganism in Uttar Pradesh today. Everyone is confident

and has trust. Everyone has a sense of mutual regard. This sentiment and faith

are crucial to the Ram Rajya philosophy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also

claims that if such a circumstance exists, India would grow quickly.

Speaking to media persons at the Gorakhnath temple

complex on Wednesday morning, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that by

preserving the thousands of years old legacy of Holi, handed down by India's

sage tradition and ancestors, the present generation is carrying it forward

with the same zeal and enthusiasm. He said that today, people from every

section of society, every Sanatani, across the state is feeling joy by

associating with this holy festival. If there is any discord or animosity

anywhere, efforts are being made to establish a harmonious society by

eliminating it.

CM Yogi said that all Holika Dahan events in the state

were completed safely. Holika Dahan events were held peacefully and

enthusiastically at more than 161,000 locations across the state. Naturally,

Holika Dahan is an occasion to commemorate the important Narasimha incarnation

of Lord Vishnu. He said that wherever there is anarchy, chaos, and unrest in

society, divine incarnations provide a new inspiration to suppress it, to

protect the virtuous and defeat the wicked, to encourage positive sentiments,

and to eliminate negative sentiments. These incarnations appear before us in

some form or another in every era. If we all, in their likeness, faithfully

fulfill our roles as Prahlad, Shabari, or Arjun, then positive forces will be

strengthened, and negative forces will be defeated and automatically vanquished.

The Chief Minister

said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are

witnessing a new India today, an India that is rapidly progressing towards

becoming a developed India. Today's India, under PM Modi's leadership, has

firmly become a part of the process of heritage and development. We can all

feel proud that we have received PM Modi's illustrious guidance and leadership

in the turbulent times of independence Amrit Kaal. Under his leadership, India

is realizing the vision of a developed and self-reliant India. CM Yogi extended

Holi greetings to all citizens and hoped that future generations will continue

to celebrate this sacred festival of harmony with the same enthusiasm and zeal

for eternity.
