‘Be The Voice For A Woman’s Safety’: CM Yogi’s Navratri Message On Women’s Empowerment

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath extended greetings to people on the second day of Shardiya Navratri on Monday, October 12, highlighting Maa Brahmacharini’s blessings and the festival’s message of women’s safety and empowerment.

In his first post on X, CM Yogi offered prayers to Maa Brahmacharini, the second form of Goddess Durga, seeking her blessings to bring patience, virtue and self-restraint into people’s lives. He described her as the presiding deity of penance, sacrifice and restraint.

In his second message, the Chief Minister extended Navratri greetings to the people of Uttar Pradesh and highlighted the triumph of humility, courage, strength, determination, justice and righteousness over ego and negative tendencies. He said the festival reminds society that goodness becomes effective when supported by strength and determination.

CM Yogi said Uttar Pradesh was emerging as an important centre for the revival of faith, culture and tradition. He further stressed the importance of providing girls with education, security and equal opportunities.

Urging people to go beyond worship and fasting, the Chief Minister called on citizens to support women’s safety, help girls access education and empower women on their path to self-reliance.

Shardiya Navratri 2026 began with the worship of Maa Shailputri, while the second day, October 12, is dedicated to Maa Brahmacharini.

Devotees seek her blessings for patience, wisdom, self-discipline and spiritual growth.

The occasion emphasises faith, perseverance and inner strength in overcoming life’s challenges.
