Lord Shri Krishna’s Leelas Were Divine
All Essential Development to Be Carried Out at Jaanapav Pilgrimage Site
On Saturday, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that the divine leelas of Lord Shri Krishna are unparalleled. The state government is running a campaign to develop all sites associated with Shri Krishna into major pilgrimage destinations. He stated that just as Mathura, Gokul, and Vrindavan hold great significance, Jaanapav too is equally important. It was here that Lord Parshuram bestowed the Sudarshan Chakra upon Shri Krishna, making this site historically sacred. Whenever other weapons failed, Shri Krishna used the Sudarshan Chakra, and his glory echoed everywhere. The Chief Minister noted that across Madhya Pradesh, Shri Balram Jayanti, Independence Day, and now Shri Krishna Janmashtami are being celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm.
CM Dr. Yadav participated in the “Shri Krishna Parva” held at Jaanapav, the birthplace of Lord Parshuram in Indore district, on the occasion of Janmashtami. The program was attended by Union Minister of State for Women and Child Development Smt. Savitri Thakur, Urban Development and Housing Minister Shri Kailash Vijayvargiya, Water Resources Minister Shri Tulsiram Silawat, former minister and MLA Sushri Usha Thakur, MLAs Shri Golu Shukla, Shri Ramesh Mendola, Shri Madhu Verma, along with other public representatives and a large number of devotees.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister showered flowers on the devotees and extended warm greetings on the holy festival of Shri Krishna Janmashtami. He said that the life and leelas of Lord Shri Krishna offer timeless lessons for humanity. Jaanapav has also been included in the “Shri Krishna Pathey” pilgrimage circuit, and all necessary development works will be undertaken here for the convenience of visiting devotees.
The Chief Minister also joined the traditional “Matki Phod” celebrations, while the Culture Department organised a soulful Bhajan Sandhya that filled the atmosphere with spiritual fervour.
