Raipur. Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai today attended the huge Dahi Handi Utsav program organized at Avadhpuri Ground in Gudhiyari, capital Raipur. Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai while addressing the Dahi Handi Utsav program said that Lord Krishna has taught us the art of living through his leela. In Mahabharata, Krishna gave the message of fighting against injustice. Fighting against injustice is the biggest religion. Lord Krishna has taught us the importance of karma.
Chief Minister Sai said that Krishna was a nature lover. When we remember Lord Krishna, we remember the banks of the Yamuna river, the tune of the flute and the herd of cows. Nature is worshipped in Sanatan Dharma. Trees like Peepal, Banyan etc. are considered worshipable. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also called for planting a tree in the name of mother. I request everyone to plant a tree in the name of their mother. Our true devotion towards Lord Krishna will also be expressed only when we fulfill our responsibility towards nature by planting a tree in the name of mother.
