Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Gorakshpeethadhishwar Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday performed gau seva (cow service) at the gaushala (cowshed) on Gorakhnath temple premises amid heavy monsoon showers.
Yogi arrived in Gorakhpur on Tuesday and spent the night at the Gorakhnath temple. On Wednesday morning, the chief minister followed his usual routine, worshipping Guru Gorakhnath at the Gorakhnath temple and paying obeisance to his guru Mahant Avaidyanath before his statue.
Subsequently, he visited the cowshed and called the cows by their names such as Shyama, Gauri, Ganga and Bhola. Hearing his affectionate call, many of the cows eagerly ran towards him. Yogi lovingly patted their heads and also fed them bread and jaggery.
Yogi also enquired about the health and nutrition of the cows from the workers and gave them necessary instructions for their care. Notably, cow service is an integral part of Yogi's routine when he is at Gorakhnath temple.
