CM Yogi Adityanath reflected on the resilience of Sanatan culture, which has endured over centuries and continues to promote friendship and compassion through the philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”. He condemned attempts to break this unity and noted that Sanatan followers have historically offered shelter to those in need, while some refugees misused this generosity.
He elaborated that followers of Sanatan Dharma have historically used their strength, wealth, and wisdom for humanity’s welfare, emphasizing traditions like offering the first bite of food to cows, the last to dogs, feeding ants, and even providing milk to snakes, symbolizing respect for all life.
