Devotees pledge to work for Hindu Rashtra at Kenjal (Bhor)
Pune – The ‘Adarsh Ganeshotsav Campaign’ was implemented at various places in Pune district by the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. This campaign was implemented with the aim of preventing malpractices during festivals, preventing desecration of Shri Ganesh, and ensuring the sanctification and worship of the Ganesh murti is as prescribed in the scriptures.
The Samiti held discourses in 33 places. The discourses included scientific information about Shri Ganesh murti, worship rituals and preventing malpractices during Ganeshotsav. This campaugn gained steam due to social media coverage too. There were speeches on Love Jihad and Urban Naxalism too. On Anant Chaturdashi, the Samiti volunteers set up a first aid room and an exhibition of educative boards on Dharma on the wooden bridge near Shri Vitthal Temple. These boards received a good response from Ganesh devotees.
In various Ganeshotsav circles, as well as collectively at more than 25 places, devout Hindus took the initiative and pledged to participate in the mission of Hindu Rashtra.
Impact of the Samiti’s Adarsh Ganeshotsav Campaign
Due to the Samiti’s campaign, there is a marked increase in people purchasing small sized murtis of Shri Ganesh in traditional attire. Earlier the same people preferred fanciful murtis.
In some Ganesh Mandals and societies, the Samiti volunteers presented demonstrations of self-defense training and displayed posters with information about revolutionaries.
