Chief Minister Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami virtually addressed the Shrimad Bhagwat Saptah Gyan Yagna-Shrimad Bhagwat Katha organized by Jagdish Swaroop Vidyanand Ashram Trust in Bhimgoda, Haridwar from the Chief Minister’s residence.
Welcoming and greeting Param Pujya Jagadguru Acharya Shri Garibdas Ji Maharaj, Shri Brahmasagar Ji Maharaj Bhuri Wale, Param Pujya Swami Shri Amritanand Ji Maharaj, young saint Swami Pujya Shri Ram Ji Maharaj and Katha Vyas Pujya Shri Indresh Upadhyay Ji and all the saints and devotees present in the Bhagwat Katha, Chief Minister Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami said that the gathering of saints and Hari Katha, both are rare and both are received only by good fortune. Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran is not an ordinary text, but is the embodiment of the divine words of Shri Krishna himself. In this, an excellent description of the four purusharthas of devotion, knowledge, detachment and religion is found.
The Chief Minister said that in today’s era when man is mentally and spiritually disturbed in the race of materialism, at such a time listening to Shrimad Bhagwat Katha shows us the path of inner peace, solution and self-realization. Today, under the leadership of respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the flag of our Sanatan culture is flying all over the world. Today, whether it is the construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya, reconstruction of Badrinath and Kedarnath Dhams, expansion of Baba Vishwanath’s corridor or the construction of Mahakal Lok, our religious heritage is being preserved and nurtured, which is neither past nor future.
The Chief Minister said that under the guidance of the Honorable Prime Minister, our government is also continuously working towards the preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. On one hand, we are doing many works for the beautification of the temple areas of Kedarkhand and Manaskhand. At the same time, efforts are also being made towards the revival of Yamuna Tirtha Sthal in Haripur Kalsi. Along with the Haridwar Rishikesh Corridor, work is also being done towards the construction of Sharda Corridor. We have also established the ‘Centre for Hindu Studies’ in Doon University for in-depth study of Indian culture, philosophy and history. Our government is fully committed to preserving the cultural values and demography of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand.
The Chief Minister said that we have taken strict action against hateful mindsets like land jihad, love jihad and spit jihad in the state, along with this, we have also implemented a strict anti-conversion law in the state. To end the inequalities prevailing in the society and ensure equal rights and justice for all, under the leadership of the respected Prime Minister, we have also done the bold work of implementing the “Uniform Civil Code” law for the first time in the country.
