Yogi Adityanath: Preserving Religious Sites Promotes Happiness in Society

Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, emphasized on Thursday that the preservation of holy sites fosters positive in society and that India’s festivals are the bearers of the nation’s legacy of pleasure and excitement.

“We have continuously endeavored to advance India’s customs with an optimistic outlook,” he said at the opening ceremony of the Shrimad Bhagavat Katha Mahapuran, which was held at the Shri Guru Gorakshanath Ashram in the Nangal hamlet of Baghpat.

“Indian festivals are the bearers of a heritage devoid of melancholy and grief, one of exuberance and pleasure. The chief minister was reported in an official statement as stating that “religious sites should be preserved because they foster positivity in society.”

Adityanath emphasized Baghpat’s historical importance by stating that the area “dates back to the Mahabharata era”.

“It was among the five villages that Lord Krishna had requested from Duryodhana,” he said.

Adityanath said that Vijayadashami, a holiday that represents the victory of truth, righteousness, and justice over deceit, injustice, and evil, was recently observed by the state.

According to the chief minister, this Mahapuran is essentially “Gyan Yagya” and has a lot to do with a soul’s knowledge-based emancipation and redemption.

“People often seek salvation by visiting various holy places and performing acts of charity and sacrifice,” Adityanath said.

“What salvation or freedom means to various people might vary. For example, monks may define it as escaping the cycle of birth and death, while family members may define it as enjoying the rewards of their good acts. Detachment, dedication, and wisdom are all included in this Mahapuran,” he said.

Earlier, at the Navdurga and Guru Gorakshanath temples on the Ashram grounds, the chief minister led prayers. In the area, he also planted a Rudraksha tree.

Adityanath also dedicated the opulent Satsang Bhavan here.
