Gorakhpur, May 16 (FN Agency) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Goraksha Peethadheeshwar Yogi Adityanath on Monday said that the Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran has been animating Sanatan culture for 5,000 years by becoming the story of salvation and emancipation of human beings. Welcoming ‘Katha Vyas’ and other saints during the inauguration of the 7-day Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapurana Katha Gyan Yagya at Mahant Digvijaynath Smriti Bhawan of Gorakhnath temple complex, Yogi said, “The listener derives pleasure from the sheer feeling in which this story is heard. It is also a story to make us realise the glorious past.
It is a rare occasion to have the great fortune of hearing Shrimad Bhagwat’s Katha. “The Bhagwat Katha is being organised on the occasion of ‘Pran-Pratistha’ (consecration) of deities in nine new temples built inside the temple premises. On the first day after worshiping the Vyas Peeth, the CM said. “Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads cover thousands of years of our history. These holy books lead us towards the right path by giving us the knowledge of the reality of life. This also enhances the knowledge. “On this occasion, he prayed that the blessings of Lord Gorakhnath be with all.
