Varanasi, October 8 (IANS). Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath worshiped Lord Shiva on the festival of Shakti Navratri in Varanasi on Monday. After Maa Durga Puja at Bharat Sevashram Sangh, CM Yogi also visited Kashi Vishwanath Darbar and Kaal Bhairav Temple. The Chief Minister also visited Vishalakshi Temple.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reached Varanasi on Monday on the fifth day of Sharadiya Navratri. Here he held a review meeting and then also conducted on-site inspection of the development plans.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath offered prayers in the court of Kashi Vishwanath and prayed for the prosperity of Uttar Pradesh. He performed Shodashopachar puja in Baba’s sanctum sanctorum. Kashi Kotwal Baba also attended the feet of Kaal Bhairav. After this, he also visited Vishalakshi temple and wished for public welfare and happy and prosperous Uttar Pradesh.
It is noteworthy that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to his parliamentary constituency Varanasi is proposed soon. During this period, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone and inaugurate many schemes. Before this, CM Yogi Adityanath conducted an on-site inspection and took stock of the preparations.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said in Varanasi on Monday that Hindu religion does not want the end of anyone. He talks about ‘Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah’, but he also talks about ‘Dharma Hinsa Tathaiva Cha’. That is, non-violence is the ultimate religion, but if violence has to be done to protect the national religion and save the innocent, then it is right. The scriptures of India make this appeal.
CM Yogi said that the aspect of ‘Ahimsa Parmo Dharmah’ says that we should be associated with the work of service. Devote your life to serve the oppressed and downtrodden, but if someone challenges unity and integrity and transgresses the boundaries, then there are also advocates of religious-based violence to protect the security and sovereignty of the nation, which cannot provide security to the public. Can do this and keep India as one India, a better India.
CM Yogi said that great men belonging to caste, creed and religion should be respected for public welfare. If a person uses abusive language against any great man, yogi or monk, he becomes liable to punishment, legal action should be taken against him, but protest does not mean vandalism or looting. This cannot be accepted at all.
