US vedic scholar David Frawley meets CM Yogi Adityanath, lauds his governance

Padma Bhushan recipient Dr. David Frawley met UP CM Yogi Adityanath, discussing Yoga, Ayurveda, and calling his leadership a global boon.

"leadership like Yogi Ji's is a blessing not only for India but for the entire world - David Frawley"

Lucknow, Feb 20

Renowned Vedic scholar Dr. David Frawley met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at his official residence on Friday.

Though it was a courtesy meet, the renowned Vedic scholar sought to impress upon the Chief Minister about various advantages and merits of Yoga and Ayurveda, in pursuance of a happy and healthy life.

The Chief Minister's office (CMO) shared a picture of the meeting, in which the duo discussed and deliberated on various aspects of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Sanatan culture.

"Renowned American Vedic scholar David Frawley met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow and had a detailed discussion on Yoga, Ayurveda and Sanatan culture," the CMO said in a post on X.

Dr Frawley, an American citizen, is a recipient of Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honour, for his wide-ranging contributions and commendable work in the field Yoga, Ayurveda and Astrology.

Frawley, born in the US state of Wisconsin, is also a National Eminence Award winner and has written several books on Vedas, Yoga, Ayurveda and Astrology.

He described Yogi's leadership as a boon for the world and stated that the Chief Minister was "purifying" politics and paving a new path for global welfare through the Nath tradition.

The US vedic scholar described the rejuvenation of Ayodhya and the darshan of Lord Ram as a symbol of spiritual renaissance.

"Today, the world is gradually losing its spiritual consciousness. In such a situation, innovation and revitalisation of the Vedas, Yoga, Ayurveda, and other Indian traditions are extremely necessary in the current environment. At such a time, leadership like Yogi Ji's is a blessing not only for India but for the entire world," he stated.

Dr. Frawley further said that Yogi Adityanath possesses brilliance because he is 'Aditya', which means, connected to the Sun element.

In 2015, the government honored Dr. David Frawley with Padma Bhushan. In the same year, the South Indian Education Society in Mumbai honoured him with the 'National Eminence Award', in recognition of his remarkable contribution in the field of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedic Astrology.

While I appreciate the focus on our culture, I hope such meetings also translate into concrete, accessible healthcare policies for the common people. Ayurveda should be affordable for all, not just a talking point.

The comment about "purifying politics" is a very strong statement. Let's hope the focus on spiritual renaissance is matched by equal dedication to purifying our rivers, air, and tackling everyday issues like inflation. Balance is key.
