Breaking from his packed schedule, CM Yogi Adityanath made a poignant hospital visit in Lucknow to check on Nrietya Gopal Das Maharaj, the venerated leader of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Admitted for a life-threatening infection, the Mahant’s condition has rallied top political and spiritual attention.
The CM’s X post captured the essence: a direct meeting at Medanta Hospital, wellness inquiries, and a thorough briefing from doctors on the ICU patient’s status, capped by sincere recovery wishes.
Brought in unconscious with intestinal woes—primarily uncontrollable diarrhea—Maharaj was stabilized in ICU. This marks yet another chapter in his health struggles, including a September 2023 admission, all stemming from chronic urinary problems and eating impairments since 2019, with frequent Medanta stays.
A Mathura native born June 11, 1938, Das helms Maniramdas Chhavni and the post-Babri VHP trust, masterminding Ram Mandir’s buildout. His portfolio boasts Ayodhya landmarks: Ramayan Bhawan, Ranganath and Char Dham Temples, fueled by lifelong Ram Andolan commitment.
Yogi’s presence signals profound respect for a figure whose perseverance turned a contentious site into a beacon of faith. As treatment intensifies, the episode highlights vulnerabilities even among the sturdiest icons.
Nationwide, from Ayodhya pilgrims to Delhi corridors, support swells for this architect of Hindu resurgence. Doctors’ vigilant care offers a fighting chance, mirroring Maharaj’s storied triumphs over adversity.
