Gathering supporters, the Swami exposed unfulfilled promises on cow sanctity. ‘The country overwhelmingly desires cows as mothers and slaughter banned as crime,’ he stated. ‘Vote-bank governments, including the present, vowed protection laws but deliver misery instead. Beef exports boom, outpacing past eras.’

Cow lovers across India demand action after decades of inaction. ’78 years gone; no more delays,’ he insisted. Governments, he accused, resort to intimidation: ‘Threaten, bribe, file cases – do anything to hush us.’

But suppression won’t work, he warned. ‘This voice embodies national heritage and majority will, not individuals.’ On politics, he cut through: ‘Power makes parties ruling or opposition. For Hindus? Allies stand in our agony; culprits and bystanders oppose us.’

Turning to BJP’s self-proclaimed Hindu identity, Swami questioned their absence. ‘No grief over choti removals, Batuk assaults, or insults to Sanatan symbols reveals true colors. Verbal Hinduism crumbles under real Hindu persecution.’

His speech galvanizes a movement, pressing leaders to align deeds with rhetoric amid persistent cow slaughter debates and cultural preservation battles.

UP’s economy has ballooned from 13 lakh crore GSDP in 2017 to 36 lakh crore today, adding 23 lakh crore in under nine years—achieved without fresh taxes but through plugging evasion and smart growth strategies. The state’s national GDP share climbed back to 9.5% from a low of 8%, with per capita income tripling seamlessly.

Five years of revenue surplus underscore fiscal health amid development. Banking efficiency soared, with deposit spending rising from 43% to over 60%, channeling funds to entrepreneurs and youth. CM Yogi lambasted opposition for exploiting farmers politically while ignoring their plight in power.

Drawing historical parallels, he evoked India’s golden eras of global economic leadership, shattered by colonial loot that stifled local enterprise. Past state governments mirrored this by marginalizing farmers, MSMEs, and artisans. Since 2017, aligned with PM Modi’s vision, these sectors flourish.

Villages, once self-reliant hubs of farming, crafts, and trade, were revitalized. Agriculture shifted from vote-bank politics to policy-driven growth: costs down, yields up, middlemen out. Growth rate doubled to 18.5%, MSP via DBT ensures fairness.

Boasting 21% national food production on 11% land, UP connects farmers globally. 95,000 crore from PM Kisan landed directly. Tech infusion—drones, natural methods, AI advisories—via Drone Didi, FPOs, startups transforms farming.

Cow protection shelters (7,727 strong, housing 16 lakh+ animals) curb smuggling, promote organic practices, cementing UP’s dairy supremacy and fish output boom. Sugarcane payments: 3.06 lakh crore in half the time of predecessors, plus 90,000 crore extra.

Irrigation revolutionized with 31 projects, solar pumps, free power. New institutions like Kushinagar’s Buddha University and Lucknow’s Seed Park herald future. KCC in minutes, women-led FPOs, AI platforms, and cooperatives forge a resilient agri ecosystem.

Invoking Gandhi’s philosophy, he shared, ‘The Mahatma prioritized cow welfare above independence, serving them diligently and renouncing cow milk for the calves’ sake.’ This anecdote underscored the deep cultural sanctity of cows in India.

Kumar’s personal story added emotional depth. As a child, he joined the historic 1966 cow protection rally on November 7. ‘Sants and devotees converged nationwide, but authorities unleashed violence with batons and bullets,’ he recalled somberly.

Addressing contemporary challenges, Kumar stated, ‘Slaughter persists across states—a national tragedy. We need unwavering faith and safeguards. City dwellers grapple with stray cows, yet nurturing them requires maternal devotion and sacrifice.’

Optimistic about ‘Godaan’s impact, he urged viewers to embrace its message. ‘This film will awaken national conscience,’ Kumar affirmed, blessing the makers and foreseeing box-office success.

Rooted in India’s timeless reverence for the cow as mother and god, ‘Godaan’ echoes ancient scriptures like the Gita, where Krishna emphasizes safeguarding cows and upholding righteousness. This theme mirrors Yogi’s administration, marked by stringent actions against unlawful abattoirs post his 2017 ascent.

The pre-release courtesy call reflects the film’s potential impact on public discourse. Attendees included core team members, all abuzz with the project’s momentum.

Posters alone have propelled ‘Godaan’ into the spotlight. Its premiere showcased star-studded attendance alongside spiritual leaders, fueling viral buzz. Innovatively, it features Gau Mata’s aarti as a melodic song, voiced by rising star Ananya Singh. She enthused, ‘Voicing two tracks, including the pioneering aarti-song for cow mother, feels blessed. The other celebrates Radha-Krishna devotion. Made on Sanatan principles, it’s a call for youth to connect with Hindu ethos and gau raksha.’

Crafted by producers Vinod Kumar Chaudhary and Dr. Parul Chaudhary, co-producer Chetan Goswami, and director Amit Prajapati, the story unfolds through the tender bond of a calf and protagonist, played by seasoned actor Sahil Anand of ‘Student of the Year’ fame. ‘Godaan’ arrives poised to celebrate heritage while addressing pressing societal values.

Chaudhary commended UP’s pioneering role in cow safeguarding, attributing it to Yogi’s decisive governance. From day one, his administration unleashed a blitz against smugglers, jailing hordes and building 7,500+ shelters for 1.2 million+ abandoned cows. Every district now boasts protection committees under DM-SSP oversight, amplifying on-ground impact.

‘UP exemplifies solid, tangible cow protection,’ Chaudhary told the CM, stressing Yogi’s personal example in a duty that belongs to all. Cows embody India’s cultural essence—sustaining life since Samudra Manthan’s divine yield. Yet, modern youth forget: cows aren’t disposable post-milk; neglecting them betrays our roots.

‘Godaan’ weaves a narrative of transformation via panchgavya, demonstrating its power to foster positive life changes, from stress relief to disease combat. Simply stroking a cow calms the mind and regulates vitals, the film illustrates scientifically.

The courtesy visit featured key figures like promotion chief Shantanu Shukla, healthcare leader Dr. Kapil Tyagi, and Naval Kishore. Chaudhary pitched for tax exemptions, positioning ‘Godaan’ as universal—vital for youth, families, and society to reclaim cow reverence.

Goseva Ayog head Shyam Bihari Gupta lauded Yogi’s revolutionary steps, urging families to view the film. In an era of cultural drift, ‘Godaan’ stands as a beacon, urging collective stewardship of our eternal bovine matriarchs.

‘Our government stands firmly with cow protection,’ declared Sai, underscoring her role beyond faith—in agriculture, science, and economy. Making headlines, he declared the film tax-exempt in Chhattisgarh, a nod to its message on bovine welfare.

Sai highlighted key advancements: fodder grants for gaushalas upped to Rs 35 per cow daily from Rs 20, with capital aid now at Rs 25 lakh per shelter. ‘Gaudhams’ for nomadic cattle are expanding, reflecting proactive care.

Invoking mythology, he reminded the gathering of the cow’s divine abode for 33 crore gods and Panchagavya’s ritual purity. The trailer launch is a milestone, offering viewers insights via this engaging 129-minute production.

Further launches included the poster, poignant track ‘Gau Mata Ke Praanon Ko Bacha Lo Deshvasiyon,’ and Panchagavya packs. Set for February 6 release by Kamadhenu Film Productions, ‘Godaan’ promotes organic manure from cow dung as farming’s future, leveraging film’s influence for mass awareness.

The occasion drew filmmakers Vinod Chaudhary, Ajit Mahapatra, Shantanu Shukla, Dr. IP Singh, Subodh Rathi, and press. It’s a powerful fusion of cinema and conservation, poised to inspire action.

Speaking exclusively, Mamata hailed the movie as a beacon of Indian heritage. ‘Every Indian must watch ‘Godaan’,’ she declared. ‘It transcends Hinduism—cows are sacred in the Bible and Quran as well, which I’ve personally read.’ She firmly stated that no holy text endorses cow slaughter, positioning the animal as a universal maternal symbol.

Delving into her personal transformation, Mamata recounted two decades-plus of rigorous sadhana leading to samadhi. ‘I’ve seen Lord Kalki, Vishnu’s final avatar, in training and vision,’ she disclosed. ‘Soon, cows will stop yielding milk, just as we’re depleting our water resources through neglect. Wake up before it’s too late.’

‘Godaan’ challenges viewers to reconsider their actions, Mamata noted. Referencing Islamic teachings where the mother ranks supreme after God, and the Gita’s karma principle, she linked global crises like hunger and conflict to our mistreatment of cows. ‘We’ve become mentally warped,’ she observed. ‘Pause and reflect deeply—protect the cow, protect our future.’ The film promises to stir souls and spark a nationwide dialogue on reverence and responsibility.

Shankaracharya also plans to campaign in favor of the candidates and appeal to Sanatani voters to choose the ‘Gau Bhakt’ candidates. He intends to meet with local saints to seek their support in this endeavor.

This announcement has drawn mixed reactions from political parties. RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmad emphasized the importance of separating religion from politics and advised against individuals in high religious positions entering politics, while also pointing out BJP’s alleged use of religion in politics. BJP spokesperson Prabhakar Mishra echoed this sentiment, suggesting that religious figures should avoid politics. The BJP plans to conduct a ‘Sanatan Samagam’ under the banner ‘Bande Sanatan’ to connect with people.

The Shankaracharya’s declaration has reignited the debate on Sanatan Dharma and cow protection amid the political fervor of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Sources suggest that several BJP leaders are in contact with Shankaracharya, attempting to persuade him. If the Shankaracharya remains firm on his decision, the BJP could face setbacks in Bihar.

He plans to engage with voters, emphasizing the importance of voting for independent candidates who are committed to protecting cows or advocating for their recognition as a national mother. The Shankaracharya clarified that he is not backing any political parties because none of them have expressed support for preventing cow slaughter.
