The tradition of Sikh Gurus remained unique and unwavering: CM Yogi
The Chief Minister said that the tradition of Sikh Gurus is unique and unwavering. From Guru Nanak Dev Ji to Guru Govind Singh Ji Maharaj, every Guru sacrificed himself to protect Sanatan Dharma and the nation. He said that whenever there was a crisis on Indian culture, Sikh Gurus went ahead and saved it from their sacrifice.
CM Yogi especially remembered the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. He said that in the 350th year of his sacrifice, programs are being organized across the country. Shortly before, this event started through Nagar Kirtan and Kirtan recitation from Chief Minister’s residence. Similarly, Guruvani was organized for the first time at the Chief Minister’s residence on the 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.
‘Four Sahibzadas sacrifice the glorious chapter in Indian history’
CM Yogi recalled the sacrifices of Guru Govind Singh Ji Maharaj’s four Sahibzadas Baba Ajit Singh, Baba Jujhar Singh, Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh. He said that his sacrifice is a glorious chapter in Indian history.
He said that when he was lured to accept Islam, both life and princely state would be safe, but they chose the path of sacrifice instead of bowing. The younger Sahibzadas were martyred by selecting them in the wall, but they showed firm loyalty to protect their religion and nation.
The Chief Minister said that this sacrifice inspires all of us today. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 26 December is being celebrated as ‘Veer Children’s Day’ all over the country. This is a historic decision to pay tribute to the sacrifice of Sikh Gurus and Sahibzadas.
Extension of facilities in gurudwaras
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that this gurdwara of Padleganj has been the faith center of Sikh Sangat for years. Earlier there was a lack of facilities here, but now with the help of the tourism department and the government it has been given a modern form.
Now Guruvani recitation, langar and other religious programs and better facilities for devotees will be able to be done here. He said that the gurudwara is not limited to any caste or community only. Every person who comes here is welcome. This is the Sikh tradition and the real message of Guruvani.
CM Yogi expressed gratitude to Sikh tradition
CM Yogi said that the work has been done to give better forms to three major Gurdwaras of Gorakhpur, Jatashankar, Mohdipur and Padleganj. This is a symbol of our gratitude and reverence towards the Sikh Guru tradition. CM Yogi said that today is also a holy day for us because on the same day 421 years ago, Guru Granth Sahib Ji was installed in Harmandir Sahib and accepted as Guru.
This tradition is still the center of faith and reverence all over the world. He said that Sikh Gurus dedicated every moment of their life to the welfare of the country, religion and humanity. Today it is our responsibility to express their gratitude to their teachings and sacrifice and work with full devotion to protect the nation and religion.
