FACT exhibition inaugurated at Ichalkaranji (Kolhapur)

Ichalkaranji (Maharashtra): Sadguru Bal Maharaj proclaimed that ‘Lord Sree Krushna has to be activated in each and everyone one of us as we have been endowed with the ability to fight injustice by Nature. However today this has lost its natural balance. We need to activate our valour to restore this balance to Nature’. In collaboration with the FACT (Foundation Against Continuing Terrorism) an exhibition of photographs of the atrocities committed on the Hindus in Kashmir, titled ‘The bitter truth of terrorism’ was organised by the HJS at the ‘Shri Jivhaji Sanskrutik Bhavan’ here to create awareness among Hindus. This exhibition was inaugurated by lighting of a lamp by Sadguru Bal Maharaj in the presence of Vishwa Hindu Parishad District Minister Adv. Javahar Chabda, Co-operation Minister Shri. Prakash Pote, City President of the Shivasena Shri. Subhash Kurkute and Shri. Annaso Bilare, the Sanatan Sanstha district seeker for Kolhapur and Belgaon Shri. Suresh Chauhan and Shri. Madhukar Nazhare of the HJS. Over 250 people visited this exhibition on the first day. Others who solicited their presence were Sau. Megha Kulkarni of the local Sanatan Sanstha centre and Shri. Shivanand Swami, Shri. Rajanikant Randive, Shri. Manohar Telsinge, etc. all of the HJS.

Sadguru Bal Maharaj further preached that the call for protecting seekers and destroying evildoers given by the ‘Dainik Sanatan Prabhat’ and the efforts put in by them to achieve this, is of great significance. I felt sad that I had to inaugurate an exhibition depicting terrorism. Finally how much injustice does one tolerate? He said that he had now decided to walk the streets to create religious awareness as only ‘kirtan’ and discourses are insufficient to achieve this end. Today thoughts about peace and tolerance are being purposely impressed fearlessly and unjustly on people’s minds. Till the valour in us remains dormant atrocities will continue. That is why each one of us needs to prepare oneself to retaliate against injustice.
