LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, along with Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri, on Tuesday participated in the ceremonial welcoming of the Holy Jore Sahib of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji at Gurudwara Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib in Lucknow.
During the ceremony, chief minister Adityanath was felicitated at the Gurudwara for his presence and participation.
Addressing the event, the chief minister expressed gratitude to Union Minister Hardeep Puri for the opportunity to participate in the Guru Charan Yatra and attend the anniversary celebrations of Guru Gobind Singh.
He further said that it is a privilege to see the holy feet of Guru Gobind Singh and his wife Mata Sahib Kaur.
"It is written in Gurbthat wherever the holy feet of Guru Maharaja fall, that place becomes as sacred as the Rama Rajya. It is our good fortune that during the Guru Charan Yatra, we are privileged to have the opportunity to see the holy feet of Guru Maharaja and the holy feet of Guru Sahiba. On this occasion, I express my heartfelt gratitude to Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri as we are attending the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur," CM Adityanath said.
Highlighting the contributions of the Sikh Gurus to India's spiritual and historical legacy, the chief minister said it was an honour to be associated with the Guru Charan Yatra.
"We are also privileged to be associated with this sacred event through the Guru Charan Yatra. The contribution of the Sikh Gurus to India's eternal tradition is unforgettable and commendable," he added.
The Holy Jore Sahib, a pair of footwear belonging to Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, and his wife Mata Sahib Kaur, is considered a rare and sacred relic. These precious artifacts have been preserved by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri's family for over 300 years, symbolising the enduring legacy of the Sikh Gurus.
The "Charan Suhawa - Guru Charan Yatra," which commenced from Gurdwara Moti Bagh Sahib on October 23, is scheduled to conclude at Takht Sri Patna Sahib in Bihar, the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh, on November 1.
