Ayodhya, October 30 (Hindustan Reporter) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday inaugurated the Deepotsav 2024 by lighting the lamp at Ram Ki Pauri in Ayodhya. In his address, the Chief Minister stressed the importance of Sanatan Dharma and said that this religion is the oldest religion in the world and the guide for humanity. He said that this religion paves the way for the welfare of all and attempting to attack this eternal system is like inviting self-destruction. He also pointed out that the forces that are trying to weaken India are trying to spread division in the society, like Ravana and his followers of Treta Yuga.
Message given of victory of truth over unrighteousness
Yogi Adityanath quoted the incidents of Ravana, Marich, Meghnad, and Kumbhkaran and said that all of them supported unrighteousness and ultimately achieved destruction. He said that even today some people in the society are trying to spread negativity and division only for the sake of politics, who are challenging social unity for their personal interests. He said that today's festival of lights reminds us that just as unrighteousness was destroyed in Tretayuga, similarly even today it is our responsibility to pave the path of truth, justice and religion.
Deepotsav described as a symbol of national unity
The Chief Minister said that while this festival of lights strengthens social and national unity with the garland of lamps, it also makes it a symbol of national unity. He said that this event is not just a continuation of a religious tradition, but it is a message which connects the society and makes the world aware of the cultural importance of India.
The sequence of festivals did not stop even during the Corona period
The Chief Minister mentioned that even during the difficult times of Corona pandemic, the tradition of Deepotsav did not stop, rather it was given a more grand form. He said that it is a symbol of upholding our eternal religious values, which is the responsibility of not only the residents of Ayodhya but of every Indian. This festival of lights is an attempt to give a new identity to the city of Lord Shri Ram in the entire world.
The message of Deepotsav is to remove the darkness of ignorance and injustice.
The Chief Minister said that the Festival of Lights is not only a festival to remove darkness, but it is also a medium to destroy the darkness of injustice, injustice, ignorance and oppression. He said that this festival of lights of Ayodhya gives a message to the society that this festival of lights not only spreads light but also opposes every kind of attempt at injustice and division.
