Lucknow. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that more than 11 lakh students participated in the Gayatri Parivar competition. Today's youth are going to be the architects of India's destiny.

We want 'Ek Bharat – Shrestha Bharat', Prime Minister Modi ji has also asked us all to work for such an India.

The Chief Minister was addressing the Provincial Teacher Dignity Workshop organized under the centenary year of All World Gayatri Parivar at Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University on Sunday. He started the program by lighting the lamp in front of the pictures of Maa Gayatri, Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya and Mata Bhagwati Devi. On this occasion, the CM released a souvenir and also awarded the top 10 schools of Uttar Pradesh in the Indian Culture Knowledge Examination.
Gayatri family united the entire society by sitting together on the altar of yagyas.
CM said that Gayatri family has Dr. Pranab Pandya's guidance and visionary leaders like Dr. Chinmay Pandya. Therefore the family has to set goals for the next 100 years. Gayatri Parivar has to bring new light in the lives of the stressed, entangled in conflict, humanity struggling for survival. When the country was subjugated and the people were dejected, people felt that slavery had become their destiny. Then a sage is born in Brajbhoomi Agra who has immense devotion towards Indian culture, eternal values and traditions. The Gayatri family established in Haridwar by Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya, expanding the initial practice in Mathura, presented an exemplary example of social unity by making the entire community sit on one altar through yagyas.
Three organizations in three years, all with one goal

The Chief Minister said that Geeta Press was established in Gorakhpur in 1923, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in 1925 and All World Gayatri Parivar in 1926. The paths and places of all three may be different, but the goal is the same. All three organizations awakened the dormant consciousness of the society and connected them with eternal values. By realizing India-Indianness, the youth were inspired to work for the independence of the country.
Acharya ji associated with the freedom movement
CM said that Pt. Shriram Sharma remained associated with the freedom movement as a freedom fighter. Many sages associated with the freedom movement actively contributed to it, but they felt that along with physical strength, spiritual strength is also required for success, so they took it forward through spiritual practice.
An organization based on ideas goes a long way
The Chief Minister said that the first mantra of the universe 'Gayatri Mantra' composed by Maharishi Vishwamitra calls for connecting with the glory of the Supreme Father. Whoever accepted its power became prosperous. Pt. Shriram Sharma ji could have given his name to this organization, but he believed that a family is bigger than an individual. Hence it was named Gayatri Parivar. An organization run in the name of a person collapses after a few years, but an organization run in the name of an idea goes a long way. This practice of 100 years is proof of this. The word is Brahma, thoughts never die, the symbol of this is the All World Gayatri Parivar.

Joint family used to face crisis together
CM said that the work of uniting the society in the spirit of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' on the altar of Yagyas is sacred. Earlier resources were less, but family was our strength. All the brothers and their children lived in the tradition of joint family. Everyone faced the crisis together. Today families have become limited. There may be one roof, but the faces of five families are in different directions. The situation is certainly somewhat satisfactory due to organizations like Gayatri Parivar. A ministry had to be formed to save the disintegrating societies and ruined families in the world. A minister is looking at what needs to be done to avoid stress.
Gayatri family should take the responsibility of preventing disintegration
Praising the Gayatri family, the Chief Minister said that because of this family, today every child recites the Gayatri Mantra. It feels great to hear Gayatri Mantra from the mouth of children in stammering language. Gayatri family will also have to bear the responsibility of preventing disintegration in the society. Pandit Shriram Sharma is one of those great men who connected religion with science. Religion and science are allies of each other. Dr. Chinmay Pandya is also a doctor of modern medicine, but is taking the All World Gayatri Family forward.
Teachers are the consciousness and era makers of the society
CM described teachers as the conscience of the society and the era makers. Said that when the teacher is awakened and discharges his responsibilities honestly, it does not take long for India to become a world leader. When the world was in the darkness of ignorance, the tradition of great teachers in India gave great universities like Takshashila and Nalanda. Taking the name of Gurukul and Rishi tradition, CM mentioned Maharishi Vashishtha-Shri Ram, Maharishi Sandipani-Shri Krishna, Chanakya-Chandragupta. He said that there is a need to revive this tradition.

The tendency to divide is a crime against Mother India and ancestors.
The Chief Minister said that during the era of slavery, one section was dividing the society and another section was uniting the society. The divisive people opposed independence and divided the society. Even today, divisive elements are tearing apart the unity of society in the name of region, caste and language. This is a crime against Mother India and her ancestors. This is a mischievous attempt to endanger India's independence. When there is a crisis in the nation, the responsibility of teachers becomes bigger. They must not allow divisive forces to succeed. The altar of sacrifice connects us with the feeling of 'this is not mine'. Nature, trees, water sources, Mother Ganga, Surya Narayan never discriminate against anyone.
Our government planted 275 crore saplings
CM said that the purpose of pouring Samidha in Yagya Kund is to add, take forward and strengthen national unity through social unity. Referring to the Prime Minister's sentiment of “one tree in the name of mother”, he said that our government has planted 275 crore saplings in UP from 2017 to 2026. This year also we have planted 35 crore saplings. Measures have also been taken for their conservation and protection. Dehradun Forest Research Institute Dehradun and Guru Ghasidas University Chhattisgarh provide us this report as third parties. Accountability is decided according to the report. Our aim behind this is to provide a pleasant and beautiful environment to the future generations.
Role of rivers like arteries in the body
The Chief Minister said that today every river has become polluted. River culture was destroyed for selfish reasons. If there are no life-giving rivers, there will be a crisis in front of life. The role of rivers is the same as that of arteries in the body. We have to save the rivers and purify them. A river had dried up decades ago. We extracted its images from satellite mapping and started its excavation. After the work was completed, a stream of water gushed out there during the rainy season. This fulfilled the penance of the ancestors. Those who have consumed the water of that river will receive blessings when the river revives.

Praising the efforts of PM Narendra Modi to recognize Yoga Day, the CM said that on June 21, more than 190 countries express their gratitude towards the sage tradition by connecting with Yoga. Our resolutions for the centenary of Independence are clear – to give up the mentality of slavery, to feel proud of the heritage, to work for social equality, to take forward the concept of developed India, to realize the civic duties and to give importance to duties more than rights. If every person becomes honest towards his duty then no one can show evil eye to India, rather India will lead the world. 2047 will overwhelm us all.
Indian values should be established in the new generation: Dr. Chinmay Pandya
In the workshop, Dr. Chinmay Pandya said that lust, anger, greed, selfishness and narrow-mindedness are the challenges within man today. Religion, justice, policy, values and morality have to be strengthened. The objective of the Indian Culture Knowledge Test is to establish the basic sense of Indian culture in the new generation.
