Yogi Adityanath Biography

Yogi Adityanath Biography

Yogi Adityanath (originally Ajay Singh Bisht), an Indian Hindu monk & politician born on June 5, 1972, and has been the 21st & present Chief Minister in Uttar Pradesh since March 19, 2017.

Following the victory of the BJP there in the 2017 State Assembly elections, in even though he was a prominent candidate, he was named the Chief Minister of UP on March 26, 2017.

He once more won the state assembly elections in 2022, becoming Uttar Pradesh's chief minister for a second time and making history by becoming the first chief minister who return to power after serving a complete five years in office. From 1998 to 2017, when he withdrew from becoming the Chief Minister, he served five consecutive terms as a member of the Lok Sabha from the Uttar Pradesh district of Gorakhpur.

In addition, since Mahant Avaidyanath, his religious "father," passed away in September 2014, Adityanath has served as the mahant of Gorakhnath Math, the Hindu institution in Gorakhpur. In addition, he founded the Hindu nationalist group Hindu Yuva Vahini. He portrays himself as a right-wing populist and a Hindutva nationalist.

Boyhood and Education

Yogi Adityanath was born on June 5, 1972, as Ajay Mohan Singh Bisht in the Rajput family of Panchur, Pauri Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh. Anand Singh Bisht, his deceased father, was a forest ranger. With four brothers & three sisters, he has been the second child born into the family. In Uttarakhand, there at Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University, he earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics.

Around the 1990s, he relocated to join the drive for the Ayodhya Ram temple. At the same time, Mahant Avaidyanath, the leader of the Gorakhnath Math, accepted him as a disciple. The push for such Ayodhya Ram temple was being led at the time by Mahant Avaidyanath. After receiving his initiation, Adityanath settled in Gorakhpur but frequently traveled to his home village, opening a school there in 1998.

When Avaidyanath passed away on September 12, 2014, Adityanath was elevated to the position of Mahant, or high priest, inside the Gorakhnath Math. Two days later, amid customary Nath sect rites, he was appointed Peethadhishwar of the Math.

Debut in politics

Yogi Adityanath is a member of the Hindutva political lineage in Uttar Pradesh, which dates back to Mahant Digvijay Nath, and oversaw the erection of idols inside the Babri Masjid of Ayodhya on December 22, 1949. Both Digvijay Nath & their successor Avaidyanath were members of the Hindu Mahasabha & had been chosen to represent their respective parties in the Parliament. The two schools of Hindu nationalism converged in the 1980s when the BJP, as well as the Sangh Parivar, joined this same Ayodhya movement. In 1991, Avaidyanath joined the BJP, but he still exercised considerable independence. Adityanath was chosen to lead India's Lower House of Parliament four years after Avaidyanath was named his successor.

In his first electoral victory, Adityanath founded Hindu Yuva Vahini, a youth organization that became well-known for its work in eastern Uttar Pradesh that played a crucial role in his rapid ascent. Adityanath as well as the BJP leadership have frequently clashed over the distribution of election tickets. Adityanath has been a prominent campaigner for the BJP, therefore the party has prevented the tensions from rising.

He made the connections between Indian Leftist parties and Nepali Maoists a central campaign theme in 2006 and urged Madhesi leaders to resist Maoism in Nepal. His convoy was allegedly ambushed in 2008 as it traveled to Azamgarh for one rally against terrorism.

One person was killed in the incident, as well as at least six other people were hurt.

Adityanath and other BJP officials gathered in January 2007 to mourn the loss of a guy who had been slain as a result of religious violence. The police later detained him and his followers and imprisoned them in Gorkhapur jail on allegations of upsetting the peace and disobeying prohibitory orders. Following his detention, there was more rioting, during which many coaches of the Mumbai-Gorakhpur Godan Express got allegedly set afire by rioting Hindu Yuva Vahini members. The district judge and the neighborhood's chief of police were transferred & replaced the day following the arrest.

Personal opinions

On January 3, 2016, a day following the purported terrorist strike by Pakistani militants on an Indian air force facility in Pathankot, Adityanath compares Pakistan to Satan.

Adityanath asked India to implement similar tactics to combat terrorism. He had praised then-US President Donald Trump's move to enact a restriction on citizens from seven countries with a majority of Muslims entering the US.

Being an Agender, 1st-Gen Indian-American

I’m a first-generation immigrant, with both my parents being Indian immigrants. My mom immigrated to Canada before she came to America (when she was in her late twenties), and is a Canadian citizen. She was born and raised in Ahmedabad, a city in Gujarat. My dad moved to India when he was in his early twenties. He moved from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in his fifth standard, and moved from a Gujarati-medium school to an English-medium one. 

My dad is more fluent in English than my mom, though they both are fluent and speak mostly without an accent. I speak Gujarati more-or-less fluently, since that’s what we spoke at home, but I can barely even write my name. I’m Hindu, as is my family, and a strict vegetarian. I’m agender, but I use she/her and they/them pronouns. 

Beauty Standards

One of the biggest issues in the Indian-American community is the issue of body hair. I’m AFAB, so I was expected to have smooth, hairless legs and arms. The reality was rather different. Since the age of ten, I had more body hair than the boys in my class. I was mocked and called by the name of a TV animal character, whose name was a mispronunciation of my own. No one ever did anything about it. I was eight. My mother, though she meant well, pushed me into waxing and threading and other forms of hair removal since the day I turned eleven. Even now, as a fully-grown adult with my own apartment and my own life, I can’t bring myself to wear shorts or capris without having spent hours making sure my legs are smooth. Body hair is a huge issue that needs to be addressed more, and not just as a few wisps of blonde hair in the armpit region.

Food

It’s complicated. Growing up, we had thaalis (with roti, rice, sweet dal, and shaak [which is a mix of vegetables and spices]) for dinner almost every night. When we didn’t, it was supplemented with foods like pasta, veggie burgers, and khichdi. We made different types of khichdi each time, based off of different familial recipes that were all named after the family member who introduced them. My mom had to make milder food for my sister, and while my sister loves spicy foods now, I’m still not a big fan. A side effect of growing up in a non-white, vegetarian family is that no one in my family has any idea of what white non-vegetarians eat. Like, at all. It’s kind of funny, to be honest. 

Holidays/Religion

My mom is a Vaishnav, and my dad is a Brahmin, so the way they both worship is very different. My dad’s family places a huge emphasis on chanting and prayer, as well as meditation. They mostly pray to capital-G G-d, as the metaphysical embodiment of Grace. My mom’s family, however, places emphasis on– I don’t want to say “idol worship" because of the negative connotations that has– but they worship to murtis, statues that represent our gods. My mom’s favored god to pray to is Krishna, and we have murtis in our home that she performs sevato every day.

We celebrate Janmashtmi, Holi, Diwali, Ganesha Puja, Lakshmi Puja– too many to count, really. We don’t always go all-out, especially on most of the smaller celebrations, but we do try and attend the temple lectures on those days, or host our own. We also celebrate Christmas and Easter secularly. I didn’t even know Christmas was a Christian holiday until I was in elementary school, and Easter until I was in high school.

Micro-Aggressions

Whooo, boy. Where do I start?

When my sister was in first grade, she had a friend. I’ll call her Mary. Mary, upon learning that my sister was not, in fact, Christian, brought an entire Bible to school and forced my sister to read it during recess, saying that otherwise, she wouldn’t be her friend anymore. Mary kept telling my sister that she would go to hell if she didn’t repent, and that our entire family was a group of “ugly sinners.” When my sister came to me for advice, I told her that Mary wasn’t her friend, that Mary wasn’t being nice, and that my sister wasn’t going to go to hell, and that we don’t even believe in hell. When my sister finally stood up to Mary and told her that she wasn’t going to listen to her anymore, Mary got angry and dumped a mini-carton of chocolate milk on her and told her that “now she looks like what she is– a dirty [the Roma slur term].” Not only was that inaccurate, it was extremely racist, and Mary was only reprimanded for the milk-spilling, not the racist remark that came with it. 

On top of that, since I have long hair, I’m always getting asked if so-and-so can touch it, or what I do to get it so long, or why I allow myself to be “shaped by such backwards ideals of women.” My name is never pronounced correctly, and I’ve been asked to give people my “American name” to be called by instead of my actual name. I’ve been called a terrorist, asked why I wasn’t wearing a hijab (by white people btw), and mocked for my food. I’ve been told that I wasn’t “really Indian” because I didn’t have a dot on my forehead. I’ve been told I wasn’t “really Hindu” because I had milk on my plate, by a white boy whose mom was a leader of a local choir.

I grew up in a town where only 4-5% of the population was South Asian, and there were a total of five South Asians in my grade level. The school administration consistently and intentionally placed us in different classes, and I never made a friend that was South Asian until 7th grade. When I came to the school, I was placed in ESOL without even being tested, while also being in the Advanced Readers class. The school didn’t even care to look at my school records before placing me into ESOL based on the color of my skin.

I’d like to see less of the “nerd” stereotype, of the “weak, nonathletic” stereotype. I’d like to see less of the “prude” stereotype, of the “I hate my culture/feel I don’t belong” stereotype. I’d like to see less of the “rebellion” stereotype, of the “my parents are so strict and I hate them” stereotype. I never want to see the “unwanted arranged marriage” trope. Ever.

I want to see bulky, tall Indian characters. I’d like to see Indian characters confident in their sexuality, whether that’s not having sex (for LEGITIMATE reasons like risk of STDs, general awkwardness before and after The Deed, and wanting to wait, not “oh my parents said so and also I’m sheltered and innocent”), or having a new sexual partner every night.

I want Indian characters (especially children/teens!!!) proud of their culture and their heritage and their religion, whether that’s Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, or anything else. I want to see supportive Indian parents, I want to see more than chiding Indian grandmothers and strict Indian fathers. I want to see healthy arranged marriages, or healthy mixed-marriages. I want to see mixed Indian-POC couples, I want to see queer Indian couples.

I want to see body hair on female-presenting characters, I want to see more of India that isn’t “bustling market with the scent of spices in the air” and “poor slums rampant with disease” and “Taj Mahal”. I want to see casual mentions of prayer and Hinduism and Indian culture (a short “My mom’s at the temple, she can’t come pick us up” or a “what is it? i’m in the middle of a holi fight! eep! ugh, gulaab in my mouth” over a phone call, or a “she won’t answer until 12– she’s in her Bharatnatyam class/Gurukul class/doing seva/at the temple” would suffice). I want to see more Indian languages represented than just Hindi. There’s Tamil, Gujarati, Marathi, Nepali, and Kashmiri, just off the top of my head. The language your character speaks depends on the place they come from in India, and they might not even speak Hindi! (I don’t!)

I hate that Indian culture is reduced to “oppressive, strict, and prudish” when it's so much more than that. I hate that Indians are stereotyped to the point where it is a norm, and the companies reinforcing these stereotypes don’t take responsibility for their actions and don’t change. I hate the appropriation of Indian culture (like yoga, pronounced “yogh”, not “yo-gaaa” fyi, the Om symbol, meditation, and Shri Ganapathidada) and how normalized it is in Western society. 

This ended up a lot longer than I had expected, but I hope it helps! Good luck with your writing :)

i am done but this kind of thinking literally distorts our ability to understand the past. because we’ve been literally brainwashed (i.e. colonized if you’re a POC) into believing that race is not only inherent and intrinsic, but also universal and uniform, then the way we analyze primary sources becomes distorted. you may discover a chinese figurine from the tang dynasty with dark skin and curly hair and decide that the figure is of a black person, when it could also possibly be of a malaysian or an indonesian. like i remember seeing someone on social media say the japanese idolized africans to the point of portraying the buddha as black, but the statue they were talking about just portrthr buddha as he was, an indian man, who would have been considered black by the japanese. arabs may have been considered “white” by the songhay. light skinned “invaders” on horseback might refer to the spanish from the aztecs but refer to the mongols from a nepali person from the 13th century, for example. it makes it damn near impossible to discuss a world without total european control

Once In A Life Time | Bryan Adams in Nepal

I had such a great opportunity to attend concert performed by a Canadian singer Bryan Adams (5th Nov, 1959). He came here in Feb 19th, 2011. I listened to his songs from very early age. He was one of my idols during my childhood and teenage days.

First, when i heard about him coming to Nepal. I was very overwhelmed. I along with my friends were very happy and we started saving money for his concert. I still remember, the lowest price of the ticket was 1500 npr. 1500 at that time was a big deal for us. We barely could afford it. Then we started saving our lunch money. We sacrificed a lot. His songs were very influencing and his sang about teenage life too. I think that was also a reason that we used to hear him.

The concert was held in Dasarath Stadium. Preparation was going on. We used to go to have a look. Stage was all set, and all was well managed. Only thing missing was Bryan. 19th Feb, 2011 the day came. We were very excited from morning. We went to Dasarath Stadium 3 hours before the concert. We had tickets already booked. Then we went inside. Bryan came, i literally had tears on my eyes. I could not stop myself. It was once in a life time experience.

He sang his greatest numbers in the concert as 'Summer of 69', 'Here I Am', '18 Till I Die'. He rocked here at Nepal. And he also showed respect and love towards nepali crowd. Thus crowd enjoyed and chanted 'Once More'. Then he again sang 'Summer of 69'.

Pashupatinath Temple

Pashupatinath Temple

Lord Shiva is known as Sripashupatinath in the capital Kathmandu, Nepal. The temple of Sri Shashupatinath, the holy shrine of the Hindu world, is located on the banks of the Bagmati River in Kathmandu. The Pashupatinath Temple has been declared a World Heritage Center.

Temple--

The temple is said to have been built in the first century. The two-story peak of the present-day Pashupatinath Temple, built in the Pagoda style, is enclosed in gold. The silver-paneled doors of the temple are decorated with carvings. In front of the temple is a golden Nandi idol. There are four gates around the temple sanctuary. Self-contained shibboleths exist in the womb. The height of the shibboleth is about three feet. Sripashupatinath Panjanan is worshiped as Shiva. The four gates in front of the four corners of the shibboleth. According to mythology, Lord Sadashiv appeared in different forms in different forms. Pashupatinath Shivalinga has Rudrakshamal in his right hand and Kamandal in his left hand.

Mythical--

According to mythology, in the battle of Mahabharata, the Pandavas came to Kashi and Guptakashi to seek the blessings of Lord Shankar to get rid of the guilt of destroying their ancestors, teachers and brothers. The Lord began to walk in the form of a bull or a bull without seeing them to test the sincerity of the Pandavas. Knowing this, the Pandavas began to enter the earth's womb. The second Pandava covered the surface of the Mahish-shaped Shiva, with the surface of the Mahishan Kedarnath appearing in Madameheshwar, Tungnath, Rudranath and Kalpeshwar and the Shirbhag in Shivalinga in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Shivalinga that has been seen in Nepal is Sripashupatinath Shivalinga. Therefore, it is believed that Srikedarnath and Sreepashupatinath are one and the same and they are both Jyotirlinga.

Worship method--

Adi Shankaracharya is said to have performed some reforms in the service worship of Sripashupatinath and entrusted the service of worship to his disciple Bimalananda. Bimalananda brought in a well-known priest from Kerala, South India, and appointed him to perform the service of Sripashupatinath. Since then, South Indian Kerala worshipers have been worshiping Sripashupatinath. They have not performed this service of worship for generations. In the classical puja method, according to proper education and skills, they are employed in the worship of Sripashupatinath. These worshipers are known as Bhatt or Bhattaki. A Nepali priest has been appointed to assist in the worship of Sripashupatinath. But Nepali priests cannot worship Shripashupatinath Shivalinga. They can only help devotees to perform worship.

Indians aren't Asian??

This is the result of not studying Geography. And I totally agree with the comments, this man probably fought with an Indian before uploading the video 😂 I'm not mad or annoyed at this, this video actually made me laugh!

Look man, being Asian means being from Asia, and I might think that I have to teach you Geography.

Ok, so the green highlighted part is Asia and if India isn't a part of Asia, why is India in green? This also applies to Arab people, they are Asian too!!

Asians don't have brown skin.

Umm ok so what about Filipino, Pakistani, Indian, Nepali and Bangladeshi people.. and I'm pretty sure we're just a hallucination then :)

Asians don't have round eyes.

Then what about a kpop idol named Jeon Jungkook?

Asians aren't tall.

Go see Kim Woobin, a famous Asian actor.

Asians aren't hairy.

First of all, this is an unnecessary trait and it only happens to an individual, not a whole group but my research shows me that this hair thing, is hereditary.

Asians are not big or muscular.

You are just jealous 😜

Asians are smart.

This man just broke that stereotype 👏

And that's it. I am happy to say that this man is wrong. Thank you if you were reading this post :) And first of all, Asian isn't an ethnicity, I think. Asian means being from Asia.
