GORAKHPUR: Yogi Adityanath's spiritual leanings are well known but not many are aware that the chief minister is a writer at heart who provided the story concept and theme of a film based on the guru of Baba Gorakhnath Yogi Adityanath contributed to the making of the feature film 'Jaag Machander Gorakh Aya', which narrated the tale of Baba Matsayendranath, the guru of Baba Gorakhnath, but did not take credit for it, according to the director of the film Avdesh Singh.Yogi Adityanath is the present Mahant of the Gorakhnath mutt. Gorakhnath is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Shiva"It was the dream of Bade Maharajji (Mahant Avaidynathji) that a feature film be made on Baba Matsayendranath, the guru of Guru Gorakhnath of the Nath sect of Gorakhnath Mutt in Gorakhpur," Singh, who was also the producer of the film, told PTI."On the inspiration of Bade Maharajji, I got the title 'Bhag Machender Gorakh Aya' registered on behalf of 'Nath film production company' and it was the Maharajji (Adityanath) who was kind enough to provide the concept and theme of the 2 hour 20 minute long feature film."The making of the film was also an onerous task and it seemed that I was being tested at every step, but things fell into place and the film was released on January 18, 2013 and though the Bade Maharajji could not see it due to ill health, the Maharajji (Adityanath) saw and liked it," said Avdhesh, who is presently busy in the post production work of his latest Bhojpuri film based on a social cause.Avdhesh said, "Maharajji was not only present to see the film when it premiered at United Talkies in Gorakhpur, but also appreciated it".The chief minister has also written a number of books primarily related to spiritualism and discipline titled 'Hath yog swarup avam sadhana', 'Raj yog swarup avam sadhana', 'Yug Purush Mahant Digvijay Nath', 'Yogi Satkarm', 'Hath yog privitika' and 'Mahayogi Gorakhnath', said Sandeep, the librarian of the temple library at the Gorakhnath mutt.Another topic which Avdhesh says is of major concern for Adityanath is the problem of encephalitis, the killer disease which has claimed hundreds of lives, especially in the eastern region of Uttar Pradesh."It is the desire of Maharajji that people are made aware of the disease through a feature film and though the project is taking some time to get underway, all preparations including the story, artistes and other related issues have been firmed up," Avdhesh said, adding that he will be fulfilling the wish of his guru soon."Yogiji was the first person who raised the issue of encephalitis in 1998 in Parliament even when he did not find support from others but eventuality people realised the enormity of the disease and we will try to make people aware through a feature film," he said.The chief minister is also concerned over the decline of Bhojpuri language, Singh said.After becoming the chief minister, Adityanath has launched a massive immunisation campaign in 38 eastern districts of the state to protect over 88 lakh children from the deadly encephalitis disease which has claimed the lives of some 40,000 children in the past four decades in the region.
