Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday, expressed grief over the demise of Acharya Laxmikant Dixit.
Chief Minister Yogi wrote on his social media account X, “The passing of Kashi’s esteemed scholar and chief priest of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Pran Pratishtha, Vedamurti Acharya Shri Laxmikant Dixit ji to ‘Golok’ is an irreparable loss to the spiritual and literary world.”
The chief minister added: “He will always be remembered for his contributions to the Sanskrit language and Indian culture. I pray to Lord Shri Ram to grant the departed soul a place at his feet and to give strength to his disciples and followers to endure this grief. Om Shanti!”
It is worth mentioning that Acharya Laxmikant Dixit was the chief priest for the consecration of the idol of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram in Ayodhya in January this year. He had been unwell for some time.
