On Wednesday, the people of Uttar Pradesh received sincere congratulations from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on the auspicious occasion of Guru Gobind Singh’s birth anniversary, known as “Prakash Parv.” He claimed that the Mughal Empire’s demise was directly related to the formation of the “Khalsa Panth.” Guru Gobind Singh, according to CM Yogi, was an enlightened individual whose coming to this world had a specific purpose.
“The entire country, uniting with the celebrations of Guru Maharaj’s Prakash Utsav, is paying homage to his memories and gaining new inspiration,” he remarked.
Addressing the Prakash Parv event organized at DAV Degree College, the Chief Minister said that Guru Teg Bahadur initiated a series of sacrifices for the establishment of truth and justice during his era, a tradition that was further continued by Guru Gobind Singh. His four sons, Sahibzada Ajit Singh, Jujhar Singh, Jorawar Singh, and Fateh Singh, made the supreme sacrifice for religion and the country.
“The examples set by Guru Gobind Singh Ji at that time continue to inspire all of us,” he stated further.
Paying homage to Guru Gobind Singh, the Chief Minister said that it is very rare in history that several generations sacrifice themselves for the protection of the country and religion. “It is our good fortune that the sacrifice of the Sahibzadas and the demand for Veer Bal Divas in their memory were initiated by the Lucknow Gurudwara Management Committee in 2018-19. The first-ever Kirtan event in the Chief Minister’s residence took place, leading to the initiation of the national-level Veer Bal Divas celebration in 2022,” he informed.
