Revered spiritual guru Sadhguru expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for rejuvenating Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham and thanked the people of Uttar Pradesh and Varanasi for their contribution towards it.
“My heart fills with joy at the revival of Kashi. The vagaries of time have taken a toll on Kashi, but today, to whatever extent possible, these have been repaired and restructured. My utmost gratitude to the prime minister, chief minister and people of Uttar Pradesh, especially Varanasi who have contributed to making this happen,” the seer said in a message ahead of the prime minister dedicating the rejuvenated Kashi Dham to the public on Monday.
Sadhguru said that from the time it was Kashi, the seat of Lord Shiva to today's world when it is the Lok Sabha seat of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the temple town has caught the imagination of millions across the world. “Whether one was an ardent Shiva bhakt or not has been immaterial. All that mattered for the faithful and even those who are not, feel the immense energy and peace that this place always offers benevolently,” he said.
Sadhguru pointed out how from the earliest recollections of human memory, for millennia, they talk about a great city called Varanasi that was built between the two rivers of Varuna and Asi. Mark Twain also termed Kashi older than legend. When Athens was not even thought of, Kashi was in existence. And so even when Rome did not even exist in people’s minds, Kashi was etched deep in the minds of millions. This ancient city was built as a Yantra, or a functioning energy mechanism. A phenomenon of enormous capability that connected the ‘microcosm’ and ‘macrocosm’ – such that the individual human being can have the possibility of uniting with the universal."
The spiritual guru further said that the light of Vishwanath Ji is not limited to any particular group of people based on any divisions that we make up in our minds. “Let all should make use of this moment to unite, not only Bharat, but the entire world. Because this is about Vishwanath ji and so is the vision of both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who wants the entire humanity to benefit from the grace, positivity and blessings that Kashi offers," he said.
