What Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi prayed for at Pahind vidhi of 132nd Jagannath Rathyatra in Ahmedabad this morning?
Well, apart from many other things, he prominently prayed for good rain in the state. Modi said this while talking to media outside the temple this morning. He said Rathyatra is organized at 120 different places in Gujarat.
Modi was at Jagannath mandir to perform Pahind vidhi. Every year on the occassion of Rathyatra, this vidhi is performed by a person who is the Chief Minister of Gujarat. As per the traditions of Pahind vidhi, Modi did the symbolic cleaning of road from where the chariots of Lord Jagannath, Balram and their sister Shubhadra pass. Modi has now made a record of performing Pahind vidhi for the highest time in Ahmedabad’s Jagannath mandir. In Orissa, Rathyatra’s Pahind vidhi is performed by head person from ex ruler family.
Chief Minister Narendra Modi was accompanied by assembly speaker Shri Ashok Bhatt, Revenue Minister Shrimati Anandiben Patel and Mayor of Ahmedabad Shri Kanaji Thakor. Minister of state for Home, Shri Amit Shah visited Jagannath mandir earlier in the morning.
Modi with others pulled Lord Jagdish, Balabhadra and Subhadra’s raths outside the campus of the Jagannath Mandir in Ahmedabad.

Asking for rains is a good. However, also pray to Bhagwaan Jaggannathji for giving us sanity to make good use of whatever fresh water poured by him in the land of Gujarat to be remain fresh and usable for its intended use. How can Lord Jaggannathji be happy when the fresh water Mother rivers of Daman Gangaa nadi in Vapi, Bhagvaan nadi in Kolak, or Par nadi in Atul, or Narmada nadi in Ankleshwar are turned into filthy smells and polluted colors?
Currently, the fresh water Mother rivers of Gujarat along golden corridor, are brutally polluted by the mad industries and completely turned into toxic poison by the western christianity investments. They don’t care damn about the sanctity and sacredness of our Mother rivers gifted to us by Bhagvaan Jaggannathji. However, why is the Gandhinagar sarkar and the district administration behaving with the same indifferent attitude towards our Mother rivers as those white christians do in Australia?
Let us protect and make good use of the fresh water already gifted to us by Bhagvaan Jaggannathji, so that he will have no hesitation in keeping us water happy, a gift of love.
Jay Gujaraatnaa raajaa Dwaarkaadheeshji!
Jay Balbhadra, Jay Shubhadra, Jay Jagannaath!
Vande Maataram
No offence against Modiji’s work, But his this speech sounds very melodramatic, Garibi hatao n blah blah blah…..
I agree with you param sneh.
Modiji need to focus on sweeping the path for Jagannathji (residing in every soul) using his golden broom (meaning, 2/3rd majority). He has been given the power of golden broom to keep our Gujarat clean.
Cleanliness first, and moving ahead later, should be the mantra for Gujarat’s rath yatra success
जय श्री राम!
I think Modi needs little image correction. In the video, he seems more interested in waving to the people, than pull the rath. He needs to appear as the most active sevak of Gujarat, and not as the raajaa of Gujarat. We already have one raajaa of Gujarat, Dwarkaadheesh BHagvaan Jagannathji and his paadukaa to represent as the head of the state (just like Bhagvaan Raam did for Bharat).
Modiji is also growing little fatter and needs to trim down his weight and stomach. CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan has a little younger appearance than Modiji. I pray for Modiji to lose some flab and do some physical workout or intense Yogasans so as to look like a active worker
जय (अंबेमाँ नुं सिंह) गरवी गुजरात! जय श्री राम

હું ભાજપ અને હિન્દુત્વ નો ચાહક છું પરંતુ ભાજપના નેતાઓ ચૂંટણી હાર્યા પછી જે રીતે ઝઘડી રહ્યા છે તે જોતા એમ લાગે છે કે ભાજપ હાર્યું તે જ સારું થયું છે. વૈચારિક પુખ્તતા વિનાના બાળક બુદ્ધિ નેતાઓને દેશ સંભાળવા માટે ના આપી શકાય. પ્રિય મોદી સાહેબ પણ એવો પ્રચાર કરતા હતા કે ૨૬/૧૧ પછી ભારતે પાકિસ્તાન ઉપર લશ્કરી હુમલો કરવો જોઈએ. પરંતુ તેઓ શ્રી એ ભૂલી ગયા હતા કે ભાજપ ની સરકાર સંસદ પર ના આતંકવાદી હુમલા પછી પણ પાકિસ્તાન ઉપર લશ્કરી કાર્યવાહી કરી શકી નહોતી કારણ કે પાકિસ્તાન જોડે અણુબોમ્બ છે. તો પછી ૨૬/૧૧ પછી કઈ રીતે લશ્કરી કાર્યવહી થઇ શકે? હું આશા રાખું છું કે ભાજપ ના નેતાઓ ૨૦૧૪ ની ચૂંટણી પહેલા mature બને.
When a good person like Modi prays 1.1 billion Hindustanis are with him.
No wonder it rained in Gujarat.
