Sanatan is the religion of humanity". Highlighting the significance of Sanatana Dharma, the UP CM claimed that Sanatan is the "religion for humanity and if it is attacked then there will be a crisis for humanity across the globe".
Yogi who was speaking at the 'Srimad Bhagwat Katha Gyan Yagya' event said, "Sanatana Dharma is the only religion, the rest are all sects and methods of worship. Sanatan is the religion of humanity and if it is attacked then there will be a crisis for humanity across the globe".
He was addressing the final session which marked the culmination of the seven-day "Shrimad Bhagwat Katha Gyan Yagya" held at the Gorakhnath Temple, reported news agency ANI.
The UP CM stressed the importance of having a liberal to understand the vastness of Srimad Bhagwat.

Earlier the CM had said that the needs of a country and society are the priority of a saint and gave an example of Mahant Digvijaynath saying that he was one such saint and fought against the challenges of his time.
"Mahant Digvijay Nath ji, after joining Goraksha Peeth, first laid emphasis on education and established Maharana Pratap Education Council.

The Education Council established by him has contributed to the establishment of a university and has established its own university. Besides, by establishing four dozen educational training institutes, it is working to prepare the young generation to tackle challenges related to the nation and society," the yogi said.
