Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Gorakshpeethadhishwar Yogi Adityanath said that ‘Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapurana’ has been animating the ‘Sanatan’ culture for 5,000 years by becoming the story of salvation and emancipation of human beings.
Welcoming ‘Katha Vyas’ and other saints during the inauguration of the seven-day ‘Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapurana Katha Gyan Yagya’ at Mahant Digvijaynath Smriti Bhawan of Gorakhnath temple complex on Monday, the CM said, “Listeners derive pleasure from the sheer feeling in which this story is heard. It is also a story to make us realise our glorious past. It is a rare occasion to have the great fortune of hearing Shrimad Bhagwat Katha.”
‘Bhagwat Katha’ is being organised on the occasion of ‘pran-pratistha’ (consecration) of deities in nine new temples built in the temple premises.
On the first day, after worshiping the Vyaspeeth, Yogi said: “Vedas, Puranas and Upanishads cover thousands of years of our history. These holy books lead us towards the right path by giving us the knowledge of the reality of life. This also enhances knowledge.”
