केदारनाथ धाम और चारधाम की यह यात्रा हमारी आस्था, एकता और समृद्ध परंपराओं का दिव्य उत्सव है। इन यात्राओं से हमें भारत की सनातन संस्कृति के दर्शन भी होते हैं।

इस वर्ष चारधाम यात्रा के आरंभ उत्सव पर, उत्तराखंड आने वाले सभी श्रद्धालुओं के लिए मैंने एक पत्र के माध्यम से अपनी भावनाएं व्यक्त की हैं।

मेरी कामना है कि बाबा केदार सभी पर अपनी कृपा बनाए रखें और आपकी यात्राओं को शुभ करें।

हर-हर महादेव!"
