Hindus, thwart the ‘fake narrative’ against the Varkari Sampraday and Hindu Dharma! – Shri Ramesh Shinde, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti
Alandi (Dist. Pune) – A conflict is currently being orchestrated between religiosity and modernism. In the present information age, we do not verify the authenticity or appropriateness of the information we receive on our mobile phones. This is why ‘fake narratives’ are created and spread. Currently, ‘AI’ (Artificial Intelligence) like ‘Chat-GPT’ is being used to disseminate incorrect information. In today’s world, spreading false information is used as the biggest weapon. Therefore, in the times to come, Hindus should become vigilant and thwart the ‘fake narrative’ against the Varkari Sampraday and Hindu Dharma, appealed Shri Ramesh Shinde, the National Spokesperson of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti.
On September 20, a conference of ‘Varkaris and Religious Educational Institutions’ was held in an enthusiastic and devout atmosphere at the Phrutwale Dharmashala in Alandi (Pune). He was speaking on this occasion. The conference was jointly organized by ‘Sanatan Vidya Foundation’, ‘Hindu Janajagruti Samiti’, ‘Rashtriya Varkari Parishad’, and ‘Swarajya Sangh’. The introduction was given by Shri Prakash Londhe of the Foundation. The conference was attended by former IAS officer and head of ‘Chanakya Mandal’ Shri Avinash Dharmadhikari, Dr. Ankush Agarwal of Hindu Jagran Manch, H.B.P. Narhari Maharaj Chaudhary of Maharashtra Rajya Varkari Mandal, world-record holder Shiv-lecturer H.B.P. Bajirao Bangar Maharaj, Pithasan Dharmadhikari of Prajnyapuri Dnyanpeeth Akkalkot Shri Prasad Pandit Guruji, H.B.P. Manik Maharaj More, Shri Girishbhau Karekar, H.B.P. Balasaheb Shelke, ardent Hindutvavadi Shri Sanjaysheth Thorat, H.B.P. Balasaheb More, H.B.P. Chaitanya Maharaj Kabir, H.B.P. Sangrambapu Bhandare, H.B.P.

A conspiracy is underway to alienate you from Dharma! – Avinash Dharmadhikari (IAS)
The principle of ‘Sarvetra Sukhinah Santu’ (May all be happy) exists only in Hindu Dharma, not in other faiths. Other faiths claim, ‘Only our God is true, your religion is false and backward.’ A conspiracy is afoot to either alienate you from your religion or to kill you. For this, they are receiving financial support from global powers. If peace and happiness are to prevail in the world, only Hindu Dharma can provide it; everyone should realize this.
Kirtankars should create awareness against the Jihadi conspiracy! – Dr. Ankush Agarwal
Jihadis attacked volunteers of Ganesh Mandals during Ganeshotsav. They put up false banners during the Ashadhi Wari, pieces of meat were thrown at the Varkaris in the procession, and in areas where Jihadis are in the majority, they are telling people ‘not to perform bhajan, kirtan, and arti.’ The Kirtankars of the Varkari Sampraday should create public awareness against these conspiracies in every kirtan.
A false narrative is being spread to portray Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as secular! – H.B.P. Bajirao Bangar Maharaj, World-record holder Shiv-lecturer
To oppose the tyrannical rule of the five Sultanates, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj took the oath to establish Swarajya in his childhood. For this, he started with just 10 people and later established a great Hindu kingdom. It had an army of lakhs and a large intelligence department. Despite this, a conspiracy is now underway to portray Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as ‘secular’. The character of Madari Mehtar is being added to it. Many such false narratives are being spread. An inquiry should be made into who is doing all this, and it must be thwarted.
The teaching ‘Live for Dharma and die for Dharma’ needs to be put into practice! – H.B.P. Manik Maharaj More, 10th descendant of Jagadguru Sant Tukaram Maharaj
Even though it is said, ‘The purpose of Dharma is to refute hypocrisy,’ Hindus never refute hypocrisy. Since the 12th century, Hindus have been facing many invasions. At that time, in the 13th century, Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj laid the foundation of the Bhagwat Dharma, while in the 16th century, Sant Tukaram Maharaj made relentless efforts to expand it. Similarly, the teaching ‘Live for Dharma and die for Dharma’ needs to be put into practice today.
Temple trustees should be like Bharata from the Ramayana! – Shri Dilip Deshmukh, Former Charity Commissioner
Temple trustees should be like Bharata from the Ramayana. They should manage affairs like Bharata. If the trustees run the institutions in the way Bharata managed the kingdom, then all institutions will run well.
Some people are becoming Urban Naxals and conspiring to end Hindu Dharma! – Shri Sunil Ghanwat, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti
Some people from within Hindu Dharma are becoming Urban Naxals and conspiring to destroy Hindu Dharma and the Varkari Sampraday. For the past few years, by organizing a so-called ‘Samata Dindi’ (Equality March) in the Pandharpur Wari, Urban Naxals are being given an opportunity to present their views. Through this medium, false information about saints, the Wari, and Dharma is being spread. We oppose this. On this occasion, all attendees raised their hands and unanimously declared, ‘We will not let this happen.’
Trustee of Shri Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Sansthan Samiti, Advocate Rohini Pawar, said that financial assistance is required to continue the work of any organization. After the institution is registered with the Charity Commissioner’s office, this fund can be used by Varkari organizations, bhajan mandals, and dindis to purchase materials.
Auditor (CA) Shri Ram Davre said that the laws made by the government regarding funding need to be slightly relaxed for the Varkari Sampraday. There is a need to establish a ‘Varkari Open University’ to provide education.
