Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav extended warm greetings and best wishes to citizens on the auspicious occasion of the Chhath Mahaparv, celebrated with great devotion in Purvanchal and the North-Eastern regions. He said that the sacred festival of Chhath Maiya is based on scientific principles and revolves around the worship of the Sun and Water. Lord Suryanarayan sustains the universe by providing energy, while life itself has originated from water. The Chhath fast instills self-discipline, restraint and inner strength. The worship of the setting and rising sun makes this festival truly unique.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav addressed devotees after participating in the Chhath Pooja organised at Vikram Sarovar, located within the Samrat Vikramaditya University campus in Ujjain, on Tuesday.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that Bihar has long been a guiding force for India and remains under the divine blessings of the Almighty. Bihar is the land of Lord Buddha and Mahavir, who enlightened not only the nation but the entire world. The state has produced the highest number of IAS and IPS officers in the country. Through simplicity, sincerity, capability and merit, the people of Bihar have earned nationwide recognition. The Chief Minister further said that Madhya Pradesh shares an ancient and cultural bond with Bihar. Madhya Pradesh is often described as the maternal home of rivers. The sacred waters of Shipra Maiya reach Bihar through Chambal Maiya, Yamuna Maiya, and Ganga Maiya. Similarly, the Son River, originating from Amarkantak, enriches Bihar through the Ganga Maiya.
