CM Yogi Feeds Jaggery and Rotis to Cattle at Gorakhnath Temple Gaushala
During his traditional Monday morning routine at Gorakhpur's Gorakhnath Temple on November 2, 2026, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath performed his customary Gau Seva, hand-feeding rotis and jaggery to the cattle after offering prayers to Guru Gorakhnath and paying homage at Mahant Avedyanath's samadhi.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath demonstrated his enduring bond with animals on Monday morning, November 2, 2026, spending dedicated time tending to cattle at the sprawling Gorakhnath Temple cowshed in Gorakhpur. During his customary morning rounds, an affectionate moment unfolded when several cows and young calves crowded enthusiastically around the Chief Minister, yearning for his personal attention and affection. Observing the eager rush of the herd, Adityanath gently patted the animals and coaxed them with paternal warmth, saying, "Come on, come on, go there, or you'll get hurt," guiding them calmly into an open space to prevent any accidental bumps or injuries among the eager calves.
Personal Bond with the Herd: Hand-Feeding Fresh Rotis and Jaggery
Hearing his familiar voice and tender call, the cattle settled down and moved across the designated partition of the gaushala, where the Chief Minister spent extensive time hand-feeding them fresh wheat rotis and pieces of jaggery. For decades, Adityanath has maintained an intimate relationship with the resident bovines of the Gorakhpur math, routinely addressing several of them by their assigned names and personally supervising their dietary care, hygiene, and medical welfare whenever he resides at the temple headquarters. The cowshed visit highlighted the Chief Minister's long-standing dedication to indigenous bovine protection and animal welfare, demonstrating an unhurried, grounded personal routine ahead of his packed administrative itinerary across the state.
Spiritual Morning Routine: Prayers to Guru Gorakhnath and Homage at Mahant Avedyanath's Samadhi
The compassionate service at the gaushala formed part of the Chief Minister’s disciplined Nath monastic routine during his stay in the eastern Uttar Pradesh spiritual center. Beginning his day at dawn, Adityanath first offered elaborate Vedic prayers and circumambulated the sanctum of Shiva incarnation Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath within the central temple shrine. He then proceeded to pay reverent homage at the marble samadhi sthal of his spiritual mentor and guru, the late Mahant Avedyanath, bowing his head in silent contemplation to seek blessings before conducting an inspection of the wider temple premises to review sanitation and pilgrim amenities ahead of his subsequent departure for Ayodhya.
