Swami Vidyachetan Maharaj from Sitapur-based Naimisharanya Ashram, who has known the Yogi for over 12 years, says Adityanath gets up at 3.00 AM and practises Yoga between 4.00 AM and 5.00 AM.
"After this, he offers prayers and takes a round of the Mutt and temple premises, while inspecting the cleanliness of the place," he said.
Thereafter, he feeds the fishes and then heads to the 'gaushala' (cow shed) to feed calves, each of them having a different name (given by Aditynath himself). After this the cows are given fodder.
Once these activities are over, he heads to his office that he holds as the head priest and Gorakhpur MP to listen to the grievances of the public.
He usually stays there from 9.00 AM to 11.00 AM, but prolongs his stay if the list of complaints is long and remains there till he has heard the last complainant, the Maharaj said.
He said that in 25 years, the Yogi has never missed listening to problems of people at his office.
As far as the dietary habits of Adityanath is concerned, his morning platter generally consists of boiled grams, papaya, chhaach (whey), apple and daliya (oat meal). Lunch usually comprises of a chapati and daal with a boiled vegetable.
"He takes dry fruits if he misses lunch. Dinner consists of two chapatis, daal and green vegetables. If he skips dinner, then he takes an apple, and goes to bed by 11.00 PM," said the Maharaj, who met Adityanath in Lucknow on the swearing-in day and interacted with him for close to an hour.
