‘Hindu Rashtra-jagruti Sabha’ organised by HJS at Menavali (Satara)

Establishing Hindu Rashtra will lead to welfare of not only our nation but welfare of the whole world ! – Chaitanya Tagde, HJS

Satara: Nation, and Dharma are not two different things for us. All our ‘Dharma-Purush’ are also our ‘Rashtra-Purush (great national heroes)’. All national heroes have been abiding by Dharma. While washing the holy feet of Deities when we perform ‘puja’, we pray for the bestowal of strength to the nation. All our ‘mantras’ have prayers for not only the welfare of our country but also of the whole world; therefore, the establishment of the Hindu Rashtra will result in the well-being of our country as well as the whole world. The above confidence was expressed by Chaitanya Tagde of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) while addressing ‘Hindu Rashtra-jagruti Sabha’ at Menavali in Wai Taluka. HJS and ‘Shri Shivapratishthan Hindustan’, Menavali had jointly organised this ‘sabha’ near Maruti Mandir, on the occasion of the Martyr Day of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.

The ‘sabha’ started with Sarpanch Mrs Lakshmi Vedpathak of Menavali, Dy Sarpanch Sanjay Chaudhari, and Society President Madhukar Chaudhari worshipping the picture-frames of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj; followed by blowing of a conch. More than 200 devout Hindus from Menavali and the surrounding area could attend the ‘sabha’ at Menavali. Rohan Nimbalkar, a ‘dharkari’, and Ravina Shende, a seeker acted as compere of the ‘sabha’ and also did ‘thanks-giving’ of the ‘sabha’. Suraj Mandhare, another ‘dharkari’ gave the oath of establishing Hindu Rashtra to the attendees. The ‘sabha’ was concluded by paying tributes to Dharmaveer Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
