HJS guides Hindus on practicing Dharmacharan to strengthen society
Mangaluru, Karnataka – To strengthen Hindu unity and awaken the spirit of Dharma among the youth, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) recently organised grand ‘Hindu Sangama’ programmes across several districts of Karnataka. Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) actively participated in these events, with its coordinators and speakers providing guidance to the gathered community.
“Creating awareness about Dharma is the duty of every Hindu”: Shri. Guruprasad Gowda, HJS
Speaking at one of the venues in Mangaluru, Shri. Guruprasad Gowda, State Coordinator of HJS, delivered a wake-up call to the Hindus. He noted that in earlier times, Bharat’s status as a Vishwaguru wasn’t just a title, but a result of a society rooted in Dharma.
“Today, we see a decline because we have moved away from our roots. Changing this state of affairs is not the duty of Hindu organisations alone. To ensure that society follows the path of Dharma, every Hindu must contribute to raise awareness about Dharma and lead a life based on Dharmacharan (Righteous conduct).”
Highlights of the ‘Hindu Sangam’ events
The ‘Hindu Sangama’ was organised with the core objectives of creating awareness about Dharma (Dharma Jagruti), awakening Hindu unity, strengthening local Hindu organisations, activating grassroots workers, and passing on the values of Sanatan culture to the next generation. The programmes, held in Mangaluru, Bengaluru, Shivamogga, Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu, and Uttara Kannada, served as a platform for various pro-Hindu organisations to come together.
- Call for weekly gatherings by Shri. Lokesh Suvarna: Shri. Lokesh Suvarna, President of the ‘Elu Pattana Mogaveera Sabha’, urged Hindus to gather weekly to discuss and strengthen the community, noting that such regular systems already exist in other faiths. “In other faiths, followers gather regularly at a fixed time to discuss their religion; however, we lack such a system. To create awareness within our society, we must all make it a point to gather at one place every week,” he urged.
- Youth participation: The events saw active involvement from the younger generation, including a guidance session by school student Master Ninad Kairangal.
- Collective resolve of Hindus: Each event commenced with a magnificent Shobha Yatra, followed by the ceremonial lighting of the lamp and a collective resolve by the gathered Hindus to protect Sanatan culture.
Exhibition of holy texts and sattvik products at the venues
At the various venues, dedicated stalls featured holy texts and sattvik products of Sanatan Sanstha. These stalls became a centre of attraction for many participants, who took the opportunity to benefit from the spiritual knowledge available through the Sanstha’s publications.
Success across Karnataka
The organisation of the event in multiple districts ensured that the message of Dharma Jagruti reached thousands across Karnataka. This helped reinforce the core objectives of the ‘Hindu Sangama’.
