Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath serves food to sadhus at Sangam in Prayagraj on Saturday. PTIADDRESSING SEERS and religious leaders from across the country at the Sant Sammelan organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad at Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj on Saturday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath described Sanatan Dharma as a “vast banyan tree” that “cannot be divided based on caste, region, language or sect”.
Adityanath told the gathering, “Maha Kumbh is the world’s largest spiritual gathering. It is not just a religious celebration but a testament to the grandeur and divinity of the Sanatan tradition.”
The CM underlined the depth of Sanatan Dharma, pointing out that it transcends sects, castes, and regions, offering equal respect to all forms of worship. He credited Sikh Gurus, Jain monks and followers of various traditions for their sacrifices in protecting Sanatan Dharma.
He attributed the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the transformation of Kashi Vishwanath Dham, and the grandeur of Prayagraj’s Maha Kumbh to the “collective efforts of the government and revered saints.”
Recalling the contributions of former VHP chief Ashok Singhal and others, the CM said that their inspiration enabled the Vishva Hindu Parishad to bring Sanatan Dharma to a global platform. “The construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the grandeur of Prayagraj’s Maha Kumbh are the outcomes of their blessings and leadership,” he added.
Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attended an event organised by the All-India Avadhoot Bhes Barah Panth-Yogi Mahasabha. He said, “While the world may have different sects and forms of worship, there is only one true religion — Sanatan Dharma which is the essence of humanity. In India, all forms of worship, though linked to various sects and traditions, are deeply rooted in Sanatan Dharma, sharing a common goal.”
He highlighted the importance of national security, saying, “If India is safe, we are all safe. If India faces a crisis, it will impact Sanatan Dharma, and no sect or tradition within the country will feel secure. To prevent such a situation, spreading the message of unity is essential.”
About the ongoing Maha Kumbh, the CM said, “In the past 10 days, more than 10 crore devotees have taken the holy dip in the sacred waters of the Triveni Sangam, and in the next 35 days, the number is expected to reach 45 crore.”
“We must not let anyone’s conspiracy disturb the unity of our society,” he said. He also urged people to “refrain from making negative comments at any level”.
He recalled the 2019 Kumbh, where the resolution to build the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was taken by the saints. “Our goal is to spread the message of unity to the entire world. By creating awareness and uniting society, we can build a stronger nation,” he said.
