Need for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to be born in every home for the protection of Dharma: Shrimant Mudhoji Raje Bhosale
Durg (Chhattisgarh) : “Whenever our mothers, sisters, and religion faced a crisis, our great national heroes countered it with immense bravery and valor. The current situation is equally challenging. Today, there is a dire need for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to be born in every household to protect our Nation and Dharma,” stated Shrimant Mudhoji Raje Bhosale, a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
He was addressing the two-day ‘Shaurya Jagruti Prashikshan Shivir’ (Bravery Awakening Training Camp) jointly organized by the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and Vedic Gurukul Welfare Foundation at Mahesh Colony, Durg. The camp witnessed the enthusiastic participation of over 1000 youth from various districts, including Durg, Rajnandgaon, Raipur, and Khairagarh, who took a solemn pledge to protect themselves, their religion, and the nation.
Training in Martial Arts and Self-Defense The camp focused on empowering youth not just intellectually but also physically. Chief Trainer Mr. Niranjan Chodankar and his team trained the participants in Karate, Lathi-kathi (stick fighting), and Nunchaku. Easy and effective self-defense techniques to handle difficult situations were taught through live demonstrations.
Key Highlights from Dignitaries:
Mr. Gajendra Yadav (Education Minister, Chhattisgarh): “Just as Rajmata Jijau empowered child Shivaji with the knowledge of both ‘Shastra’ (Weapons) and ‘Shaastra’ (Scriptures) to lay the foundation of Hindavi Swarajya, we need to awaken that same spirit in every youth today. A strong body combined with strong will-power is essential to keep our nation and families safe.”
Mr. Prabal Pratap Judev (Senior BJP Leader) : “To protect Sanatan Dharma, it is mandatory for today’s youth to have knowledge of both scriptures and weapons. Seeing the enthusiasm of these youth gives me confidence that Sanatan is in safe hands.”
Saint H.H. Ashok Patrikar (Sanatan Sanstha): “Along with physical strength, spiritual strength (Atma-bal) is equally important. One should chant ‘Shriram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram’ daily to increase spiritual power. We must not tolerate injustice anymore but resist it.”
Mr. Sunil Ghanwat (State Organizer, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti): “Leftist and anti-national forces are trying to make our youth devoid of valor. We must remain vigilant against this. Learning self-defense is the first step towards national defense.”
Support from Law Enforcement: Durg SP Mr. Vijay Agarwal and DSP Mrs. Bharti Markam educated the trainees about self-defense laws, assuring them, “If you take steps for self-defense within the legal framework, the law stands firmly with you.”
Advocate Ashish Sharma, Founder of Vedic Gurukul Welfare Foundation, highlighted that the Gurukul imparts education along with values and safety training, which has led to a 40% increase in the academic performance of students.
The program was compered by Ms. Anjali Kanaskar and Mrs. Megha Rathi, while the introduction was given by Mr. Kamal Biswal. Dignitaries such as Mayor Mrs. Alka Bagmar and IG Mr. Vinod Agarwal graced the occasion.
