Mathura: Kanwar Yatra is going to start in many parts of the country from July 22, the first day of Sawan. In Uttar Pradesh, a controversy has erupted after an order of the Yogi Adityanath-led government regarding this. The state government has ordered the owners of hotels and dhabas to install name plates on the Kanwar route. Kathavachak Devkinandan Thakur has supported this decision of the Uttar Pradesh administration. He said that purity and sanctity are taken special care of in Sanatan Dharma, so the decision of the Yogi government is correct.

‘Bringing Kanwar is a penance, it is not an ordinary matter’
Thakur said, ‘This time the Yogi government of UP is taking special care of the devotees bringing Kanwar. It is showering flowers on them, and is also paying attention to who is serving them food by changing their name. Bringing Kanwar is a penance, it is not an ordinary matter. Devotees walk barefoot for several kilometers, bring Ganga water and offer it to Lord Shiva. Purity and sanctity are taken special care of in Sanatan Dharma. In such a situation, if a person from a particular community runs a Dhaba and serves food in the name of our God, then it is wrong.’

‘Even in Mecca-Medina, Muslims have to be very careful’

Thakur said, ‘Their and our eating habits are different. Therefore, it is correct to tell who is running the Dhaba and Hotel. If Hindus and Muslims are brothers, then what is the need for them to run a Dhaba or Hotel on that route at a particular time? Even if they are running it, they should write their name clearly. Even in Mecca-Medina, Muslims have to be very careful. When care can be taken while going to Mecca, then why not during Kanwar?’

Thakur appealed to Kanwariyas to take Prasad from home

The narrator said, ‘Those who are doing politics on this issue, I request them to walk several kilometers once to take Kanwar. After this you will know what all things have to be taken care of while bringing the Kanwad.’ Devkinandan has also appealed to the Kanwadis to carry prasad from home during the journey. He said, ‘Bring prasad from home during the Kanwad Yatra or eat only at the dhaba and hotel run by a Sanatani person.’
