| Sanatan is supreme, beyond comparison: Yogi Adityanath | | | Agencies
Lucknow, Jan 8: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated on Wednesday that the belief system of Sanatan Dharma represents the world’s oldest culture, standing above comparison with any religion or sect.
“I inherit a legacy that spans thousands of years, with its cultural and spiritual events equally ancient. The tradition of Sanatan is higher than the sky and beyond comparison,” he remarked.
Speaking at the ‘Mahakumbh Mahasammelan’ , CM Yogi emphasized the profound significance of the Mahakumbh. He explained that after the Devasura Sangram (the battle between gods and demons), drops of nectar fell at four sacred locations — Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. The Mahakumbh at these sites has served as a platform for shaping India’s knowledge, ideology, and social direction throughout history. He further stated that the Mahakumbh is more than just a religious gathering; it symbolizes India’s spiritual heritage and national unity. CM Yogi highlighted that during the Mahakumbh, sages from across India would gather to reflect on the social and political conditions of their times, making the event not just a reverence for tradition but also essential for preserving cultural wisdom for future generations.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lauded the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating, “The organization of Mahakumbh represents a remarkable confluence of India’s heritage and development.”
Reflecting on the 2019 Prayagraj Kumbh, he highlighted how modern technology, efficient management, and cultural traditions were seamlessly integrated. “We will strive to achieve the same harmony in the upcoming Mahakumbh,” he assured.
He emphasized that the Uttar Pradesh government, in collaboration with the central government, has taken numerous measures to ensure the Mahakumbh is both grand and meticulously organized.
“This event is drawing not just the citizens of India, but also people from around the globe,” he noted. CM Yogi described the Mahakumbh as a golden opportunity to showcase India’s rich cultural heritage on an international stage.
Describing Mahakumbh as a profound symbol of national and cultural unity, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated, “This event transcends caste, creed, and gender barriers. Mahakumbh will serve as a powerful reflection of the progress India has made over the past decade under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It stands as a living testament to India’s prosperity, rich heritage, and spiritual tradition.”
CM Yogi further remarked that certain individuals, “who thrive on foreign leftovers,” are trying to tarnish the nation’s image. He accused them of exploiting caste divisions for political gains, but affirmed that the people of India have become more aware and will not fall prey to such divisive tactics. |
