'Sanatan Ki Pataka Unchi Rahegi To Bharat Ka Koi Baal Baanka Nahi Kar Paayega': UP CM Yogi Adityanath

Raebareli's Unchahar district: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath declared that as long as the tradition of sacred kathas persists on India's land, the flag of Sanatan Dharma will never bow. He emphasized that devotion to Shiva is crucial for India's cultural and spiritual unity. The CM visited Unchahar to witness a Shri Shiv Mahapuran Katha, which is being held in its third day.

Upon arrival, Vedic students welcomed him with shankh and damru sounds. Manoj Pandey, the state minister for Food, Logistics and Civil Supplies and MLA from Unchahar, greeted the CM with a shawl, Shrifal, and a kalash of Gangajal. The CM then honored Katha Vyas Pandit Pradeep Mishra and listened to his recitation. The CM highlighted that attaining devotion to God fulfills all desires, and the Ramayana exemplifies this with Hanuman Ji's devotion.

He further noted that devotion to Shiva transcends regional differences and exists across India, from the Northeast to Maharashtra and Gujarat. The Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva symbolize India's cultural unity. The CM stressed that Sanatan Dharma's greatest wealth lies in its ability to promote public welfare. Sacred kathas should be widely promoted to strengthen societal and national well-being.

During the medieval period, Sanatan Dharma's spiritual strength prevented foreign invasions. The CM cited Goswami Tulsidas, who used Ram Katha to awaken societal consciousness. He also highlighted the importance of Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura-Vrindavan, and Prayagraj as centers of Indian heritage and tradition. CM Yogi thanked Manoj Pandey for organizing the event and wished the Katha Vyas Pandit and attendees for a blessed life.
