Yogi Adityanath said on Sunday that Tulsidas never considered Akbar his king. He only considered Ram as his true king.
He was addressing a function at the centenary celebrations of Yogiraj Baba Gambhirnath on his second day in Gorakhpur. He praised the significant tradition and knowledge of Indian saints, even relating an incident between Sikandar and a yogi, when the former set out to conquer the world.
The head of Digambar Akhada, Mahant Suresh Das also spoke on the occasion.
Adityanath began his second day in Gorakhpur at 3:30 am in the morning by feeding cows, after which he spent time at the Gorakhnath temple before attending the centenary celebrations. He is slated to meet BJP leaders in the afternoon on Sunday.
