MATHURA: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday urged the Sanatan society to unite strongly, asserting that if all Sanatanis come together and demonstrate their collective strength, no one hostile to the faith or conspiring against Hindus under any pretext would be able to cause harm to India.
Addressing a gathering in the presence of revered saints at the Shri Malukpeeth Ashram in Vrindavan, Mathura, during the Shri Sitaram Nikunj Ashtayam Leela Mahotsav organised to mark the 452nd birth anniversary of “Saint Shrimad Jagadguru Dwaracharya Shri Malukdas Ji Maharaj, ” the Chief Minister highlighted the transformative power of unity.
He cited the example of Ayodhya, known as Ramnagari, stating that before 2017, the city received electricity for only three hours a day. Devotees chanting Jai Shri Ram were often met with batons instead of respect, with narrow streets and dilapidated buildings.
He added that today Ayodhya resembles the glory of the ‘Treta Yuga’ (Second of the four world ages), thanks to the unified voice of saints that erased a 500-year-old stigma and led to the construction of the magnificent Shri Ram Temple.
CM Yogi Adityanath said that when revered saints set aside personal interests, ashrams, sects, and denominations to prioritise the greater cause of Sanatan Dharma, a widespread awakening and miraculous transformation occurred.
He emphasised that personal self-interest must never obstruct the path of the nation and Sanatan Dharma. The journey forward must continue without pause, fatigue, wavering, or capitulation, guided by the resolve of “Charaiveti-Charaiveti, ” meaning ever onward.
The Chief Minister noted that his generation is blessed to have witnessed the Ram Temple movement, the liberation of the Janmabhoomi, the temple’s construction, and its grand Pran-Pratishtha.
