Yogi Adityanath On Gyanwapi : Yogi Adityanath said, Gyanvapi is ‘Vishwanath’ himself, unfortunately people call it a mosque

New Delhi. Unfortunately, today people call Gyanvapi a mosque in other words, but Gyanvapi is the real ‘Vishwanath’, says UP CM Yogi Adityanath. Yogi said that the tradition of Nath Panth never disrespected caste, creed, religion and language, gave respect to all, tried to unite everyone. Inaugurating the two-day international seminar on the topic ‘Contribution of Nath Panth in the creation of a harmonious society’ organized in Gorakhpur, UP CM Yogi said that when Acharya Adi Shankaracharya came to Kashi for meditation, Lord Vishwanath wanted to test him. When Adi Shankar was going to take a bath in the river Ganga in Brahma Muhurta, Lord Vishwanath took the form of a Chandal and stood in front of him.

Yogi said this, then Adi Shankar asked him to move aside. Then the Chandal asked a question that whom do you want to remove, are you looking at my physical body or are you looking at the Brahma residing inside this body. Then Adi Shankar was surprised to hear the knowledgeable words of the ‘Chandal’. After this, when Adi Shankar asked the Chandal about his introduction, the Chandal said, I am Vishwanath incarnate in the form of the Gyanvapi for whose sadhana you have come to Kashi from Kerala. Yogi said, unfortunately, today people call Gyanvapi a mosque but Gyanvapi is ‘Sakshat Vishwanath’.

The UP CM said that in the last 10 years, the way the central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has presented the Hindi language to the country and the world to connect the country is commendable. As a result of this, medical and engineering courses are also available in Hindi today. Institutions need to move forward with commitment in this direction. Today, when a foreign diplomat comes to India, he also wants to communicate with us using the Hindi language as a medium.
