MP CM Mohan Yadav Visits Shri Kshetra Valmiki Dham Ashram in Ujjain
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav visited Shri Kshetra Valmiki Dham Ashram, an ashram led by Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Balyogi Umeshnath Maharaj, in Ujjain district. During his visit, CM Yadav offered flowers at Siddh Samadhi and prayed for the happiness and prosperity of the state.
In a post on X, CM Yadav wrote, “Today, I got the privilege to visit the ashram of Rajya Sabha MP Balyogi Umeshnath Maharaj ji, Shrikshetra Valmiki Dham in Ujjain. On this occasion, I worshipped at Siddh Samadhi in the Dham and prayed for the happiness and prosperity of the state.”
Rajya Sabha MP Umeshnath Maharaj shared, “Today, CM Mohan Yadav visited Shri Kshetra Valmiki Dham. He also worshipped the Chhadis (sticks) of Gogaji Maharaj here. It is a years-old tradition and believed that Gogaji Maharaj came here to Avantika Puri to meet Baba Mahakal. It is said that when Mughals came here and tried to destroy the Mahakal temple, Gogaji Maharaj came to Ujjain, battled with Mughals, and saved the Mahakal temple.”
He added, “Even today, the place where the army of Gogaji Maharaj stayed in Ujjain’s Kheer Sagar is known as Yogeshwar Tekri and Goga Tekri. We still believe that Gogaji Maharaj comes from Rajasthan and meets with Baba Mahakal here. So it is celebrated here. People from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and other regions come here with Chhadi and Flags Nishans of Gogaji Maharaj.”
CM Yadav also mentioned, “Today, I have come to the ashram of our Rajya Sabha MP Balyogi Umesh Nath. There is a tradition for people from the Valmiki community to come here with the Chhadis (sticks) of Gogaji Maharaj. This place is now developing as a Teerth (pilgrimage) spot. I performed puja of ‘Nishans’ from Punjab, Jhansi, and Maharashtra. People from many places in the country bring their ‘nishans’ here.”
