The CM urged every sanatani Indian to keep a picture of Maharshi Valmiki in homes, noting that every narrator of the Ramayana first pays homage to Lord Valmiki.
The seat they occupy, known as the Vyas Peeth, is regarded as the most revered one. Yogi said that the sages have guided society through every era.
He cited the names of Maharishi Valmiki in the Ramayana period; Maharshi Ved Vyasa in Mahabharata era; Sant Ravidas in the medieval period; and Dr BR Ambedkar during the struggle for freedom.
“Though they lived in different times, all shared the same vision of uplifting society,” he added.
Yogi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had carried that vision forward through the idea of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat and the motto Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.’
He said that Ram Rajya represented a utopian society free from discrimination based on caste, religion, or sect and today, the BJP’s double-engine government was working to realize that vision.
The CM said when the SP government came in 2012, threats were made to break the monuments of the pioneers of social justice.
“Today, those people remember Baba Saheb in every press conference, but the then SP’s CM changed the name of Kannauj Medical College. We restored it in the name of Baba Saheb. Lucknow’s Language University was named after Kanshiram Ji, but SP changed that name too. Saharanpur Medical College’s name was also changed. They have dual faces and visualize everything from the angle of vote politics, ” stated the CM.
Yogi said the opposition had opposed the Ram temple in Ayodhya and had even doubted the existence of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna.
The opposition questioned Maharshi Valmiki’s manifestation festival. They put a question mark on the incarnation of Lord Krishna and Maharshi Vyas. They made such remarks about everyone, but PM Modi built Baba Saheb’s Panchteerthas.
