During the Dharma Sabha, slogans such as ‘Sanatan Hindu Dharma ki Jay Ho’, ‘Jay Shivaji Jay Bhavani’, ‘Narendra Maharaj ki Jay’, ‘Glory to Shivaji Maharaj’, ‘Glory to Hindu Unity’, ‘Glory to Hindu Janajagruti Samiti’ were shouted.

People present for the Sabha were presented with copies of the Daily and Weekly Sanatan Prabhat while they were leaving the venue after the Sabha. The Dharma Sabha was concluded by singing of the ‘Pasaayadaan’.

 

The police have video-taped the proceedings of the entire meeting. Some policemen were seen sitting and taking down notes. (A strange way of the police to allow terrorists to go scot free and to keep a strict vigil on religious and nationalists citizens ! – Editor)

A reporter of Weekly Shodhan Shri Naushad started arguing vigorously in the Exhibition.  He said, “You are projecting only the side of only one religion and trying to defaming Islam.  There are few bad people in a religion; that does not mean that the entire religion is bad.”  He alone was arguing with eight to ten Hindus. (Hindus have a lot to learn from the Muslims like pride for religion ! – Editor)

Today, Hindus do not have any concern for the denigration of their deities and the trampling of their faith. The reason for this is the influence of western culture. All this is occurring due to the absence of pride for religion (Dharma). Absence of religious pride results in a consequent absence of pride for the nation. The root cause of this is the lack of religious education among Hindus. People belonging to other religions receive information on how to conduct their private and public life, whom to vote, etc. from their leaders and religious masters. On the contrary, there is no facility to provide religious education in the case of Hindus; thus their community has become directionless and is moving towards destruction. Hindus should make efforts to get religious education from an authority in the field of religion. While Hindu Dharma is being attacked on one hand, self-proclaimed leaders for eliminating blind faith and intellectuals are gnawing at it on the other. To stop them, it is imperative for Hindus to acquire religious education which explains the importance of Dharma and its scriptures.

Come together to repel attacks on Dharma! - Shri. Sharad Gambhirrao, Chief of Shiv Sena, Dombivali City

It is unfortunate that a time has come that we are compelled to awaken all the Hindus. Today Hinduism is confined only to political parties and various sects and the Hindu have developed a mindset of a frog in a puddle for whom there is no world beyond his puddle. It is high time we understood the attacks on the Dharma and came together to counter them effectively. Now you have to decide whether you want to become a pawn in the hands of the parties who are vying with one another in appeasing the Muslims or to hold high the radiant orange flag of Dharma.  Every Hindu woman should give birth to a son who would be brave enough to cut off the very hands that dare touch Hindu Dharma.  

Shri. Vinay Panvalkar

Vyashti Sadhana is the foundation of activities for the sake of Dharma! - Shri. Vinay Panvalkar, Sanatan Sanstha

The vyashti sadhana is the very foundation of the variousactivities we undertake for the sake of Dharma. If the foundation is strong, then alone we can perform Samashti sadhana properly.  It is necessary to observe Dharma in our day-today life if we have to bring about desirable changes in the present sordid condition of Dharma. Without sacrifice the condition of Dharma cannot be changed. So every Hindu should strive to strengthen the foundation of his vyashti sadhana. 

Be prepared to repulse the attacks of terrorists! - Shri. Harishchandra Patil, MLA, BJP

The terrorists are attacking Hinduism from all sides. All Hindu brothers should be prepared to repulse these attacks. The Congress government is enacting anti-Hindu laws.  We should rise fiercely against these laws.

Ram Setu is an issue of crores of Hindu’s sentiments! - Dr. Sachchidanand Shevde, Famous religious guide

“Today the situation so worse that it is doubtful whether we would be able to recite Ram raksha a few years down the line; because the ruling politicians are asking, “Who is Ram?”.  But they should remember that Ram Setu is the issue of sentiments of crores of Hindus. Government is audaciously playing with our feelings,” Dr. Shevde said. Using pun, he said, “The government should not forget, if it continues to behave in the same fashion, not only the golden days i.e. Sonia’s days, but even the days of luxuries i.e. Vilas will also be over. If you are not reading ‘Dainik Sanatan Prabhat’, remember, there is no Ram left in you and start reading the Dainik !”

Hindus will not tolerate the suppression hence forth! - Shri. Anil Dev, Sree Sampradaya

Hinduism never sleeps; it is always awake. The politicians have started suppressing Hindu Dharma.  We shall never tolerate it.  Large-scale  conversions have made a big dent in Hinduism. Some agents from amongst us alone are responsible for conversions. We should stop copying Western culture and imbibe our original culture. 

Participate in Samiti’s agitations! - Shri. Mannanur Ravindran, Keraliya Kshetra Sanrakshan Samiti

Sanatan Dharma has been under foreign aggressions for the last 5000 years. They are still continuing. Our temples are the wealth of our Dharma and nation. The aggressors are eyeing this wealth. Many states in the country have enacted the temple-take over law. Now the temples have gone under the control of government.  What sordid conditions of the temples it has led to, all are aware of. The Samiti has launched agitation against it. All are requested to participate in the agitations !

There cannot be happy life without foundation of Dharma! - Balkrushna Maharaj, Religious guide

Balkrushna Maharaj

Man cannot have a happy life without the foundation and orientation of Dharma; no knowledge is available without faith. So how the champions of removal of blind faith who have not read the Gita, can get knowledge? The Dharma is ruined by all that is given by the journalists, film-producers, painters etc. to the society.  The saints and Dharma has given so much teachings to us that we don’t have enough time to read it; but other newspapers are read avidly. 15 years back I was searching for Sanskrit Bhagavat to read; but it did not get it. At last I found it in an old-paper mart. If we have to create love for the nation and Dharma, knowledge of religion should be imparted in every household. Till the nation does not get spiritual master, the nation cannot be happy. 

Reaction of Dignitaries

1. Vedmurti L.K. Parekar Guruji: Everyone should remain alert and inquisitive to injustice being meted out to Hinduism.  We should observe our age-old traditions. If we protect our Arya Sanatan Vaidik Hindu Dharma, the Dharma will take care of us.
   
2. Shri. Dilip Ghag, Shri Sampradaya: The Dharma Jagruti Sabha is an will usher religious awakening among the masses. The voice of my mind says, by the grace of God, henceforth the Hindus will certainly come together and become a force to reckon with.
   
3. Shri. Shridhar Abakivalli, Chidambaram Seva Mandal: Today there is a dire need of organisations of this type. Hindu Dharmajagruti Sabha is the need of the hour.
   
4. Religious guide Shyamsundar Maharaj Sonnar, sub-editor, Dainik Lokmat: The saints have taken incarnation only to protect the Dharma. Hindu Janjagruti Samiti is also treading the same path and undertaking various activities. I expect that through such activities alone the Hindus will get up from deep slumber.
   
5. Shri. Bhanushali, zonal president, BJP: We have start the activities of Hindu Janjagruti Samiti in Shahapur.  You come, I shall make arrangements for your discourses.
   
6. Shri. Tatya Mane, Shiv Sena Nagarsevak: He said, “I wanted to see your Dharma Rath” and showered praise after seeing the Dharma Rath.
   
7. Mrs. Madhumati Shitode, Nagarsevika of Shiv Sena and Speaker of KDMP, Education Committee: In the face of continuing injustice on Hindu Dharma, denigration of deities etc. it is very essential that there should be awakening in the Hindus and Hindus should indeed unite themselves. For this it was necessary that someone raises his voice and that is exactly what the Samiti has done.  Congratulations to Samiti ! The Samiti will have all our cooperation.
   
8. Shri. Ravindra Chavan, Nagarsevak, BJP: Today the Hindus are in the state of deep slumber. It is essential to wake them up. The love for Dharma is dwindling today. So the Hindus should discard ‘why-should-I-bother’ mentality and start taking action for the sake of Dharma.

Anti-Hindus destroy the banner of Hindu Dharmajagruti Sabha

December 16, 2007

Dombivili (Maharashtra): Anti-Hindus defaced a 'Flex' banner of the Public Hindu Dharmajagruti Sabha in Dombivili (west) just next to the road and smeared it with cowdung. The message about this public meeting was going to thousands of Hindus through this banner. This banner was intact till 1 a.m. and was defaced thereafter.

(We need to protest against such anti-Hindus and curb those who have dared to destroy the material used to spread the message of the Hindu Dharmasabha to the people. See how these anti-Hindus instead of combating our philosophy with their thoughts are resorting to such cheap measures! - Editor)

HJS invites Hindus for 'Public Dharmajagruti Meet' at Dombivali

December 15, 2007

Dombivali (Maharashtra):  The incidences of assaults on the Hindu society are on the rise due to lack of unity and practice of Dharma Hindus. In such adverse situations, ‘Practice of Dharma and unification of Hindus’ has become the need of the hour to sustain Hindu Dharma. To serve this purpose of creating religious awareness (Dharmajagruti) among Hindus and uniting them, the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) has organised a Public Dharmajagruti Meet on 16 th December 2007 at Dombivali.

Today our country is engulfed by various problems such as terrorism, conversion of faith, blind emulation of the western culture, denigration of Hindu deities, blasphemous paintings of Hindu deities and BharatMata by anti-Hindu painter M.F. Hussain, attacks on temples, bomb blasts, threats to kill the Hindu religious leaders, etc. Our government, while preaching the philosophy of secularism, provides subsidies for Haj pilgrimages, gives donations to madarasas and churches on one hand, while on the other, devises plots to destroy the Ram Setu proclaiming that Shree Ram, the seat of faith of Hindus, is merely a ‘poetic imagination’. The government is attempting to finish Hindu Dharma by enacting anti-Hindu acts such as the ‘Temple Takeover Act’ which seeks to bring Hindu temples under government control and the ‘Anti-Faith Act’ which bans Hindu religious practices, customs and traditions. In such adverse situations, ‘Practice of Dharma and unification of Hindus’ are the only alternatives available for sustaining Hindu Dharma.

With the broad vision of uniting Hindus, the HJS has conducted such Public Dharmajagruti Meets in various districts viz. Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Pune and Solapur as an attempt towards creating religious awareness (Dharmajagruti) amongst them.  As a part of this campaign, a Public Dharmajagruti Meet has been organised on Sunday, 16th December, 2007 at 5.30 pm at the Nehru Maidan, Dombivali (East). Noted speakers viz, famed Pravachankaar Dr. Sacchidanand Shevade; Kirtankaar Shri. Balkrishna Maharaj; BJP MLA Shri. Harishchandra Patil; Shree Sampraday’s educator Shri. Anil Dev; ‘Keraliya Kshetra Saurakshan Samiti’s’ Shri. Mannanur Ravindran; Shivsena’s Dombivili City Chief Shri. Sharad Gambhirrao; Sanatan Sanstha’s Shri. Vinay Panvalkar and HJS’s National Spokesperson Dr. Durgesh Samant shall express their noteworthy views on the topic ‘Various assaults on Hindu Dharma and necessity for Hindus to unite and practice Dharma’.

HJS's Press Conference on the eve of Dharma Jagruti Sabha

Due to lack of unity and religious behaviour among Hindus, the onslaughts on Hinduism are increasing with every passing day. In such adverse conditions, for survival of Hinduism, it is the need of the hour for all the Hindus to come together and follow religious behaviour in day-today life. With a view to create awakening among the Hindus towards this need and bring them together, HJS has planned a Dharma Jagruti Sabha in at Nehru compound, Dombivli (East), Thane district on 16th December 2007. A press conference was called to furnish information at it in Everest Hall in Dombivali (West), Thane district. Shri. Shinde addressed the press conference. Present on the dias were Shri. Rajan Shinde, Prasar-sevak of Sanatan sanstha and Shri. Dilip Ghag of Sree Sampradaya.
