Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the life of Lord Sri Krishna was extraordinary and that he never discriminated against anyone. He said that the Sri Krishna Pranami Mahotsav, organised by the Pranami Sampraday which reveres Lord Krishna as its deity, is promoting inter-faith harmony and Sanatan values.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that for the Pranami tradition, founded 400 years ago by Sadguru Sri Devchandra Ji Maharaj, the revered Gurudev serves as a guiding light of the eternal Sanatan tradition. The Pranami sect was widely propagated by Swami Prananath and his disciple Maharaj Chhatrasal. Among the three principal dhams of the Pranami Sampradaya, one is Padmavati Puri, located in Panna city of Madhya Pradesh. He said that Sri Krishna Pranami Dharma is a path rooted in devotion to Lord Sri Krishna, spiritual wisdom and the principles of universal brotherhood.

He extended his best wishes for the Dharma Mahotsav to followers of the Pranami sampradaya and society at large and prayed that Lord Sri Krishna, Shyamaji Maharani, Sadguru Devchandra, Swami Prananath, Vrindavan Das Maharaj and Natwardas Maharaj continue to bestow their grace on all.
