Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh – The prominent Hindu organisation ‘Dharmarakshak Sanghatana’ organised a grand Dharma Sabha in Bhopal on 22 March to mark the Hindu New Year. The Sabha concluded with a ‘Bhagwa Shaurya Padyatra’, which witnessed enthusiastic participation of thousands of ‘Dharmarakshaks’, turning the entire city into a sea of saffron. 

Addressing the gathering as the keynote speaker, Sadhvi Saraswati delivered a powerful message, urging everyone to remain ever vigilant for Dharma, culture, and national interest.

The grand Dharmasabha took place at the Chhola Dussehra Ground in Bhopal, where a massive dome-shaped pavilion was specially erected for the occasion. Although the administration had temporarily revoked permission for the padyatra a day prior citing traffic and logistical concerns, the clearance was restored the following morning. The procession was then carried out in a highly organised and successful manner. 

Shri. Vinod Yadav, Founder President of Dharmarakshak Sanghatana shared that the event was a grand success.
