Yogi Adityanath was born as Ajay Mohan Bisht on 5 June 1972 in the village of Panchur, in Pauri Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh (now in Uttarakhand).His father Anand Singh Bisht was a forest ranger who died on 20 April 2020 in AIIMS Hospital New Delhi. He was the second born in the family, among four brothers and three sisters. He completed his bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University in Uttarakhand.
He left his home around the 1990s to join the Ayodhya Ram temple movement. Around that time, he also came under the influence of Mahant Avaidyanath, the chief priest of the Gorakhnath Math and became his disciple.
Subsequently, he was given the name ‘Yogi Adityanath’ and designated as the successor of the Mahant Avaidyanath.
While based in Gorakhpur after his initiation, Adityanath has often visited his ancestral village, establishing a school there in 1998.
