Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan participated in the satsang of Jai Gurudev Baba Umakant Maharaj at village Pingaleshwar in Ujjain on Thursday. Chouhan said that the State Government’s policies are inspired by the teachings of saints and seers. Ban on cow progeny slaughter has been imposed in the State in deference to the wishes of the saints. Provision of strict punishment has been made in this regard by enacting a law.
Quoting a “Chaupai” of Ram Charit Manas, the Chief Minister said that wisdom cannot be gained without Satsang and Satsang without blessings of Ram. The State Government’s policies bear witness to this. He said that the State Government has firmly resolved to not open new liquor factories in the State. Chouhan said that not only holy cow, strict law has also been enacted to ban slaughter of all animals of cow family. No factory to export meat can be opened in the State.
Exhorting the masses to adopt virtues of good conduct and philanthropy, the Chief Minister said that Sanatan Dharma teaches us to protect nature and living beings. All living beings have part of God in them. Therefore, killing and eating them are against beliefs of Sanatan Dharma. Umakant Maharaj also spoke on the occasion. The Chief Minister sought blessings of Panth-Pramukh Baba Umakant Maharaj at his Kutiya.
