Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday asserted that Sanatan dharma guarantees peace in the world and Indian saints are ready to face every challenge that come their way and never run away when it comes to engaging in works of public welfare.

Addressing thousands of saints from across the country at Baba Mastnath Math in Rohtak on the occasion of consecration of Brahmalin Mahant Shri Chandnathji Yogi, Yogi Adityanath said that the saints’ only aim was the welfare of the people and they were helping realise the government’s resolve of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ by spreading awareness from village to village.

The chief minister said, “The Nath sect is the carrier of India’s Sanatan dharma. To reach the essence of Sanatan dharma, our sects, methods of worship, traditions, and beliefs have been truly dedicated. The paths may be different, but the destination is the same, and this destination is the re-establishment of the eternal truth of Sanatan dharma through united and strong efforts.”

The chief minister said that today, a magnificent Sri Ram temple was being constructed in Ayodhya. “Those who did not believe in Sanatan dharma, used to run away just at the mention of the name of the Sri Ram temple. But those who had faith in Sanatan dharma had faith in their actions,” he said.

“What was once deemed impossible for people, the new India has made it possible. There is turmoil around the world, but the guarantee of world peace lies only in Sanatan dharma and India,” the chief minister added.

Yogi further said that in times of global crises, every nation, every religious follower, and every distressed person was looking towards India with hope and this event strengthened that mission. “This is the place of practice for the holy saints of the Nath sect. Mahant Balaknath Yogi is carrying forward the resolutions of Baba Chandanathji with dedication and foresight, which is commendable and praiseworthy,” he said.

The chief minister said that today India had the world’s largest population, which had got all its fundamental rights.

“From north to south and east to west, India continues to establish itself as ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ with full strength and behind this are our revered saints, who are spreading awareness from village to village,” he said.

He mentioned that the saints dedicated themselves entirely to the worship of their deity and the restoration of Sanatan dharma.

Yogi further said, “Be it the Ram Mandir movement or any other public movement, saints have always actively participated. Today, thousands of saints from all over the country present in this ceremony demonstrate that here, there is no division of caste, religion, or sect. Those who say that India is a land of diverse beliefs and worship methods should witness the unity of saints from all traditions present here.”

On this occasion, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat, Swami Ramdev, Chinna Jeeyar Swamy, Swami Chidanand Maharaj, Swami Nirmalananda Maharaj, Swami Gyananand Maharaj, Baba Balak Nath Maharaj, Hari Chetananand Maharaj, Brahma Dev Maharaj, Chinmoy Pandya, Acharya Lokesh Muni, Naraharinath of Nath sect, Mahant Shernath, Union Minister VK Singh, Ramlal including a large number of Yogeshwars and saints were present.
