Varanasi: Kashi is not a matter of words, it is a creation of sensations. Kashi is where awakening is life. Kashi is that where death is also Mars. Kashi is where truth is the sacrament. Kashi is where love is the tradition. That is why if the tyrant Aurangzeb comes here, Shivaji also gets up. If any Salar Masood moves here, then brave warriors like King Suhaildev make him realize the power of our unity. Not only this, the people of Kashi know what the fate of Hasting was done by the people of Kashi even during the British era. These things were said by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived to inaugurate Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham.
Prime Minister Modi said that the terrorists attacked this city, tried to destroy it. History is witness to Aurangzeb’s atrocities, his terror. One who tried to change the civilization by the sword, who tried to crush the culture with fanaticism, but the soil of this country is somewhat different from the rest of the world. If Aurangzeb comes here, Shivaji also stands up. If any Salar Masood moves here, then brave warriors like King Suhaildev make him feel the power of our unity. Not only this, what was the fate of Hastings done by the people of Kashi during the British era, it is known to the people of Kashi.

Kashi is not a matter of words
He said that Kashi is not a matter of words, it is a creation of feelings. Kashi is that – where awakening is life! Kashi is that – where even death is Mars! Kashi is that – where truth is the sacrament! Kashi is where love is the tradition. Banaras is the city from where Jagadguru Shankaracharya got inspiration from the purity of Shri Dom Raja. He resolved to tie the country in the thread of unity. This is the place where Goswami Tulsidas ji created a supernatural creation like Ramcharitmanas with the inspiration of Lord Shankar. The realization of Lord Buddha was revealed to the world in Sarnath, here. For the betterment of the society, sages like Kabirdas appeared here. If there was a need to connect the society, then this Kashi became the center of the power of devotion of Sant Raidas ji. Kashi is the land of four Jain Tirthankaras, the epitome of non-violence, austerity. From the integrity of King Harishchandra to the knowledge of Vallabhacharya, Ramanand ji… From Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Samarthguru Ramdas to Swami Vivekananda, Madanmohan Malaviya, so many sages and masters have been related to the holy land of Kashi.
Here you will also feel the glory of your past
He said that the feet of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj were lying here. From Rani Laxmibai to Chandrashekhar Azad, Kashi has been the birthplace of many fighters. How far can the geniuses like Bharatendu Harishchandra, Jaishankar Prasad, Munshi Premchand, Pandit Ravi Shankar and Bismillah Khan take this remembrance. He said that when you come here, you will not only have darshan of faith. You will also feel the glory of your past here. We are seeing a real vision of how antiquity and novelty are coming alive together, how the inspirations of the ancient are giving direction to the future. It is said in our Puranas that as soon as one enters Kashi, one becomes free from all bondage. Blessings of Lord Vishweshwara, a supernatural energy awakens our inner-soul as soon as we come here. He said that along with Baba, I am also coming after seeing the city Kotwal Kalbhairav ji. I am bringing his blessings for the countrymen. Anything special in Kashi, anything new, it is necessary to ask them. I also bow at the feet of the Kotwal of Kashi. This whole new complex of Vishwanath Dham is not just a grand building, it is a symbol of the eternal culture of our India. It is a symbol of our spiritual soul, of India’s antiquity, of traditions, of India’s energy.
50 to 75 thousand devotees can come in the temple premises.
He said that earlier the temple area here was only three thousand square feet, now it has become about 5 lakh square feet. Now 50 to 75 thousand devotees can come to the temple and temple premises. That is, the devotee will be able to worship and worship Mother Ganga first and worship Vishwanath Dham directly from there. He said that Kashi is Kashi! Kashi is imperishable. There is only one government in Kashi, those who have damru in their hands have their government. Who can stop Kashi where Ganga flows by changing its current.
Praised CM Yogi
He said that today I also want to express my gratitude to every laboring brother and sister whose sweat has been shed in the construction of this grand complex. He did not let the work stop here even in times unlike Corona. I have just got the privilege of meeting these labor colleagues and taking their blessings. He said that I congratulate all our artisans, people associated with our civil engineering, people of administration, those families who had their homes here. Along with all this, I also congratulate the UP government, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ji, who united day and night to complete the Kashi Vishwanath Dham project. He said that the inauguration of Kashi Vishwanath Dham will give a decisive direction to India, will lead to a bright future. This complex is a witness of our capability, of our duty. Nothing is impossible if you think, if you are determined. In the arms of every Indian, there is that force, which makes the unimaginable come true. We know penance, know penance, know how to spend day and night for the country. No matter how big the challenge, we Indians can defeat it together.
Prime Minister also made three resolutions
The Prime Minister also made three resolutions from every Indian on the occasion of Shrikashi Vishwanath Dham inauguration. These included continuous efforts for cleanliness, creation and self-reliant India. He said that the long period of slavery broke the confidence of us Indians in such a way that we lost faith in our own creation. Today, from this thousand-year-old Kashi, I call upon every countryman – create with full confidence, innovate, do it in an innovative way. The third resolution that we have to take today is to increase our efforts for self-reliant India. This is the elixir of freedom. We are in the 75th year of independence. We will have to work from now on how India will be when India celebrates the celebration of hundred years of independence.
