UP has attained new heights under his leadership. I am fortunate to study his life and write on it.
My warm wishes to UP CM #YogiAdityanath ji 🙏

#YogiAdityanath ji's parents' native house in Panchur village in Pauri, Garhwal (UK). Yogi Ji's mother is at the door. I am sitting on the stairs. My publisher Praveen from @BloomsburyIndia is also seen. #HappyBirthdayYogiJi
Meeting Savitri Devi Ji, mother of #YogiAdityanath ji was such humbling experience of our lives. She was polite but a very strong lady.
Outside Panchur village, we met Deepak Chandra, who was two years junior to #YogiAdityanath in the govt primary schools and told many details about Yogi's ji's schooling and his family. We then parked our car on the road & walked down down the narrow lane to the Panchur village
The we met Anand Singh Bisht Ji, father of #YogiAdityanath ji. What a humble man, he was. He was returning from Kotdwar & on our request, we all stopped at a road side tea stall & talked. He words still echo in my ears-An honest chief minister son, is what I earned in this life
Then we tracked all the schools & colleges in Uttarakhand, from #YogiAdityanath studied. Teachers fondly narrated interesting anecdotes about Yogi ji's student life. Pics from Bharat Mandir Inter College, Rishikesh
Got these different pictures of #YogiAdityanath ji's student & college life from relatives & friends. You will have fun identify our beloved Yogi ji in these pictures.
Then we moved to Gorakhpur - #YogiAdityanath ji's Karm Sthali. Got to know so much about Nath Panth, Its Kan Phate Sadhus, its amazing traditions, Kichdi Food Bhandaras for people of all faith and castes. It was a lifetime experience, which I documented in my book #MonkBecameCM
What a picture: Got these amazing pics from the Gorakhnath Mutt records. Yogi ji is getting his Sanyas Diksha & Late Ashok Singhal ji, addressing the gathering.
Kodak Moment !!!......Got many of such amazing pictures from the Gorakhnath Mutt records.
File picture of #YogiAdityanath ji with Ayodhya's prominent Saint, Mahant Nritya Gopal Das ji. And today Yogi ji is the CM of UP and Mahant Nritya Gopal Das ji is leading the Ramjanbhoomi Trust. Alliances made in heaven !
One of the few moments, when #YogiAdityanath got weak - When his guru Mahanat Awaidyanath left the human body.
After the death of his guru, #YogiAdityanath was anointed as the mahant of Gorakhnath Mutt, a very important centre of Nath tradition, believed to be running from the time of Adinath Shiva. Nirmalanandanatha Swamiji, head of Adichunchanagiri Math, Karnataka can be seen in pic
Who does not want to see, both go them in one frame. #HappyBirthdayYogiJi
And with iPad in one hand and Aarti ki thali in another, Yogi proved his critics wrong in last three years. He has emerged as CEO style Super CM, leading form the front and set a governance model to follow for whole of the country. #HappyBirthdayYogiJi
