In a dazzling display uniting spirituality and culture, Kanpur bore witness to a historic Sanatan Yatra led by BJP luminary Ramesh Awasthi, accompanied by the imposing figure of The Great Khali. Setting off from the revered Ramlala Mandir in Rawatpur Goan, the procession spanned a remarkable 40 kilometers, drawing a caravan of over 300 cars, numerous Rath’s, and a sea of devotees.
The inclusion of The Great Khali lent a distinct allure to the affair, infusing it with an aura of grandeur and leaving an indelible impression on all who participated. As the yatra wound its way through Kanpur’s bustling thoroughfares, the fervor of the crowd was palpable, with flowers showered along its path and embraces extended in warm welcome.
A highlight of the Sanatan Yatra was the benevolent distribution of Diyas, Ram calendars, and copies of the Bhagavad Gita, imparting messages of peace, harmony, and spiritual enlightenment to the masses. This thoughtful gesture spearheaded by Ramesh Awasthi aimed to foster unity and enlightenment among the populace.
Expressing profound gratitude for the overwhelming support, Ramesh Awasthi underscored the celebration of India’s rich cultural heritage and spiritual ethos. The presence of The Great Khali, renowned for his dominance in the wrestling arena, further amplified the message of unity and spiritual awakening. The procession featured a majestic Ram Darshan Rath, adorned with images of prominent political figures like BJP National President JP Nadda, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, alongside the revered Ram Darbar. This spectacle captivated onlookers and echoed chants of “Jai Shri Ram” throughout the route.
Beyond his political role, Ramesh Awasthi’s dedication to social causes and cultural initiatives has garnered national and international acclaim. His recent recognition in the British Parliament underscores the profound impact of his contributions to social service and community welfare.
In a poignant statement, Ramesh Awasthi hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the “Sanatan Nav Jagran Ke Mahanayak” (The Great Leader of the Spiritual Renaissance), reflecting admiration for Modi’s leadership in promoting cultural and spiritual values. Furthermore, Shri Ram Seva Mission National Coordinator Sachin Awasthi advocated for the declaration of January 22nd as “Sanatan Divas” (Sanatan Day) annually, symbolizing a day to commemorate the ongoing cultural and spiritual renaissance in the nation, in a letter addressed to PM Narendra Modi.
As the Sanatan Yatra drew to a close at Motijheel Valmiki Upvan, it left behind a legacy of unity, spirituality, and cultural vibrancy in Kanpur. With Ramesh Awasthi and The Great Khali steering the event, it stood as a testament to the collective devotion and the rich tapestry of India’s cultural heritage.
