Leaders from across political spectrum condole the passing away of Seer Mahant Giri

Mahant Narendra Giri, president of the Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad (ABAP), was found dead in suspicious circumstances at the Baghambari Muth in Prayagraj on Monday. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be travelling to Prayagraj on Tuesday to pay his last respects to Giri. Giri was elected as the president of the ABAP in 2016 and 2019. His passing was condoled by several leaders across the political spectrum. Many politicians took to Twitter to offer their condolences and pray for the departed soul. Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered his condolences, saying that he is extremely saddened by the Giri’s passing away. He added that Giri had played a huge role in bringing together “many streams of the Sant Samaj”.

अखाड़ा परिषद के अध्यक्ष श्री नरेंद्र गिरि जी का देहावसान अत्यंत दुखद है। आध्यात्मिक परंपराओं के प्रति समर्पित रहते हुए उन्होंने संत समाज की अनेक धाराओं को एक साथ जोड़ने में बड़ी भूमिका निभाई। प्रभु उन्हें अपने श्री चरणों में स्थान दें। ॐ शांति!!

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) September 20, 2021

Union Home Minister Amit Shah also paid his tribute to the spiritual leader, saying that people had lost “a resplendent constellation of Sanatan culture”. Shah added that Giri had devoted his life to the promotion of spirituality and religion as well as service of human beings.

अखाड़ा परिषद के अध्यक्ष श्री नरेंद्र गिरि जी का पूरा जीवन अध्यात्म व धर्म के प्रचार, उत्थान व मानव सेवा को समर्पित रहा। उनके देवलोकगमन से हमने सनातन संस्कृति का एक देदीप्यमान नक्षत्र खो दिया है। ईश्वर से प्रार्थना करता हूँ कि दिवंगत आत्मा को अपने श्रीचरणों में स्थान दें। ॐ शांति

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called Giri’s passing away “an irreparable loss to the spiritual world”.

अखिल भारतीय अखाड़ा परिषद के अध्यक्ष महंत नरेंद्र गिरि जी का ब्रह्मलीन होना आध्यात्मिक जगत की अपूरणीय क्षति है।

प्रभु श्री राम से प्रार्थना है कि दिवंगत पुण्यात्मा को अपने श्री चरणों में स्थान तथा शोकाकुल अनुयायियों को यह दुःख सहने की शक्ति प्रदान करें।

ॐ शांति!

मुझे विश्वास नहीं हो रहा है कि पूज्य महंत नरेंद्र गिरि जी महाराज ने ख़ुदकुशी की होगी, स्तब्ध हूँ निःशब्द हूँ आहत हूँ,मैं बचपन से उन्हें जानता था,साहस की प्रतिमूर्ति थे,मैंने कल ही सुबह 19 सितंबर को आशीर्वाद प्राप्त किया था,उस समय वह बहुत सामान्य थे बहुत ही दुखद असहनीय समाचार है !
