Don’t miss the chance to offer ‘ahuti’ in the task of establishing the Hindu Rashtra ! – Rajendra Parikh, Bengaluru, Karnataka

Sanatan is awakening the Hindus and making us aware of our own valour. The day Hindu valour awakens, it will be the day we have stepped into the Hindu Rashtra. This is what Paratpar Guru Dr Athavale is trying to make us see. The full time seekers that Paratpar Guru Dr Athavale has prepared are like Maharshi Dadhichi. I bow down to them too. Seekers like you who are offering ahuti (sacrificial offerings) to the yajna of Hindu Rashtra are worthy of praise. The work you are putting in now will start bearing fruits in the near future. We are seeing Paratpar Guru Dr Athavale’s vision of the Hindu Rashtra materialising now. Whatever is happening now is a snapshot of the Hindu Rashtra to come.

Every organization should implement the stress reduction process propagated by Sanatan ! – Shri. Sudish Nayak, Member, Rajput Saraswat Brahman Sangh, Udupi, Karnataka

I learned the importance of chanting the name of the Kuldevta and the ishtdevta in a public gathering in Mapusa (in the year 2000). After a few years I started my business in Udupi. I made arrangements for Sanatan’s satsangs to be held in my office. I started weekly satsangs in my vicinity, implementing various programs, distributing Sanatan’s Holy texts ets. My office currently hosts a weekly satsang. 77 employees attend and are benefitting from the satsang. If for some reason the satsang is not held, they feel as if something is missing. The employees say that due to the chanting prescribed by Sanatan their stress has reduced. Every organization should implement the stress reduction process propagated by Sanatan !

Duty of the businessmen to uplift the spiritual level of the society ! – Anand Patil, Member, Architects Association, Kolhapur

The quality of eduction, medicine, law and order is depleting by the day. It is the responsibility of the businessmen to raise the level. Educating them by giving them sattvik products, this is effective in increasing the spiritual level of the society.

I am experiencing that with Divine will, business becomes effortless. I wished to help Sanatan Prabhat and Sanatan Sanstha as a businessman. I prepared a booklet with the ‘Samarth’ illustrations that are published in the Sanatan Prabhat every day and distributed them amongst my relatives, friends and fellow businessmen. They were impressed with these booklets and started sponsoring these as prizes to school students. For gifting fellow businessmen during the inauguration of their projects, weddings and other functions, I decided to forgo sweets or bouquets, instead opting to gift the fountains of knowledge – holy texts compiled by Paratpar Guru Dr Athavale.
I was blessed with the opportunity of building the Darshan Mandap for the Devi temple (Tuljapur’s famed Shri Bhavani Mata temple). While this work was being undertaken, i had several spiritual experiences and saw that the work proceeded naturally. I felt that ‘every devotee who comes here should experience bliss and gain the inspiration to work like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. All this is possible only due the grace of God and the blessings of Saints.
I also had the opportunity of building Sanatan;s Ashram. I experienced 1000 times more bliss while doing this project compared to all other projects. I feel that this is preordained by God and he has chosen me.

The path of spiritual practice shown by Paratpar Guru Dr Athavale is superior ! – Dinesh MP, Businessman, Mangaluru

I started my business in the year 2000. When my business expanded, I wished to expand my business all over Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa. Through a seeker, I came in contact with Sanatan Sanstha. About 2 3 years after this, i came to realise that the aim of my life is not to grow my business, it is something different, but i continued with my business. There were regular ups and downs; arguments with customers and employees. When I would think about these incidents later, I would realise that my personality defects are responsible, so I focussed on reducing them. After this, my business grew from 10% to 200%. The energy generated by our spiritual practice stands by us. Now I chant even while travelling. Now I harbour the feeling that my store is a temple. Never stop working for Dharma. It may be possible that our family may desert us, but Dharma will never desert us. So seek guidance from Paratpar Guru Dr Athavale’s seekers. The path of spiritual practice shown by Paratpar Guru Dr Athavale is superior !
