The ideals of Bhaktin Mata Rajim are exemplary for all societies: Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai

Rajim is the confluence of Shaiva and Vaishnava traditions. It was at this holy place of Rajim that Lord Shri Ram established Kuleshwar Mahadev and worshipped him. This area is famous all over the country due to the confluence of Sondur, Pairi and Mahanadi. Rajim city is famous as Prayagraj of Chhattisgarh. The Mahanadi flowing from here is called Papamochani Ganga. Rajim is named after Rajim Bhaktin Mata. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said this while addressing the program organized on the occasion of Bhaktin Mata Rajim Jayanti organized by Sahu Samaj in Rajim today.

Chief Minister Shri Sai said that it is a matter of pride for all of us that we have gathered today on that land where Lord Shri Ram set his foot with Mata Sita. Mata Sita worshipped Mahadev here and established Kuleshwar Mahadev from sand itself. He said that the Sahu community cherishes the memory of the sacrifice and penance set by Rajim Bhaktin Mata. Rajim Bhaktin Mata’s birth anniversary promotes social unity. It also inspires us to follow her ideals. The state and the country also get strengthened by the unity of society. On this occasion, he announced Rs 5 crore for the installation of a grand bronze statue of Bhaktin Mata in Rajim.

Chief Minister Shri Sai said that Sahu community is a progressive community. This community is progressing in business and industry along with agriculture. Sahu community is also preserving its heritage. He said that the country’s successful Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, who considers 140 crore Indians as his family and works 18 hours a day for their welfare with the policy of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’, is the pride of your community.

Chief Minister Shri Sai said that the grand Kumbh Kalpa was started in Rajim during the time of the then Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh. The previous government had reduced its dignity. Our government has restored the dignity of Rajim Kumbh Kalpa. Last year, saints from all over the country gathered in Rajim Kumbh. This year too, we are going to organize the grand Rajim Kumbh Kalpa.

Chief Minister Shri Sai said that a large number of mothers and sisters were present in the program. We have worked towards women empowerment through Mahtari Vandan Yojana. Recently, the eleventh installment of this scheme has been transferred to the accounts of mothers and sisters. On the first date, the amount of this scheme reaches the mobiles of mothers and sisters and their faces light up. This helps them in organizing their budget. Whenever I discuss this with them, they tell me very happily how much this scheme has changed their lives. Then it really feels that we are realizing Atal ji’s dream of good governance in Chhattisgarh.

Deputy Chief Minister Shri Arun Sao said that during his stay in America, he saw how the children of Sahu community are flying the flag of Chhattisgarh even in foreign countries. With their hard work and determination, the people of Sahu community are raising the name of the community in the country and the world. Union Minister of State Shri Tokhan Sahu said that the release of a postage stamp in the name of Bhakta Mata Karma is a matter of pride for all of us. He said that Karma Mata dedicated her life to the society, her thoughts and ideals can lead to the development of the society, therefore it is important that all of us imbibe those thoughts.
