Hindu Rashtra-Jagruti Sabha organised at Baradih, Varanasi
Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh – “The saffron flag (Dharma dhwaj) hoisted atop the Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya is not merely a saffron flag; it is a flag of victory (Vijay dhwaj) representing the triumph achieved after 500 years of struggle. However, attempts are being made today to destroy the eternal Hindu Dharma, which seeks the welfare of the entire world. Opponents have realised that this Dharma is the very soul of this nation; therefore, to rule this country, they believe Hindu Dharma and Hindus must be targeted. Consequently, we are facing assaults such as the Waqf Act, the Places of Worship Act, government takeover of temples, attacks on Hindu processions, and various forms of jihad. The time has come for us all to unite and contribute to the best of our abilities towards the establishment of the ‘Hindu Rashtra’,” stated Mr Rajan Keshari of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti.
He was addressing the ‘Hindu Rashtra-Jagruti Sabha’ held at ‘Vaishnavi Banquet & Lawns’ in Bhusaula village, Baradih, in Varanasi district.
On this occasion, Mrs Prachi Juvekar of Sanatan Sanstha also addressed the gathered Hindus. Those in attendance took a collective pledge to work together for the cause of establishing a Hindu Rashtra. The event also featured an exhibition of flex posters regarding the Nation and Dharma, along with Sanatan Sanstha’s holy texts and sattvik products.
Spiritual practice is essential to carry out the work of Dharma – Mrs Prachi Juvekar
Mrs Prachi Juvekar of Sanatan Sanstha spoke about how abiding by the teachings of Dharma is essential to its preservation. She stressed that every action prescribed in Hindu Dharma is backed by scientific and spiritual rationale, and that practising these traditions awakens a sense of pride in one’s heritage. Furthermore, she emphasised that spiritual strength is required to carry out the work of Dharma, and this strength is gained through spiritual practice (sadhana). Therefore, she urged all Hindus to chant the Name of Shri Krishna – ‘Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya’.
Highlights of the Sabha
- Generous contributions: Mr Vipin Singh of ‘Vaishnavi Banquet & Lawns’ provided the venue free of charge. Devout Hindu Mr Tapesh Singh provided chairs and tables, while Mr Dharmendra Singh (Neeraj) provided the sound system, projector, screen, and generator at no cost.
- Local support: Mr Sumir Mishra, son of the Baradih Village Head, arranged food and water for the volunteers and attendees.
- Strong support from the intellectual community: Advocate Neeraj Pathak, who attended the Sabha, remarked, “Such programmes must continue as society is in great need of them.” He also expressed his desire to attend future sessions on Dharmashikshan (Education about Dharma).
