धर्मो रक्षति रक्षित:

धर्म की रक्षा

तथा संरक्षक के लिए संगठित हों !

पवित्र भगवद्‌गीता में एक श्लोक है – “धर्मो रक्षति रक्षित:” (धर्म की रक्षा करनेवालों की धर्म रक्षा करता है) । वर्तमान समय में धर्म की रक्षा केवल धर्म को संरक्षित और उसे अमल में लाने तक सीमित नहीं है, अपितु इसका अर्थ विभिन्न आक्रमणों से धर्म की रक्षा करना भी है। इसमें से एक आक्रमण है, हिन्दू श्रद्धास्थानों का नित्य अपमान और उपहास। अनादर का अर्थ है किसी वस्तु को अपमानजनक पद्धति से प्रदर्शित करना, जो उसके मूल रूप से भिन्न हो। आध्यात्मिक स्तर पर, इसके परिणामस्वरूप मूल रज और तम स्पंदनों के कारण प्रदूषण बढता है। इसलिए यह हमारा कर्तव्य है कि, हम इस अधर्म का सामना करने के लिए अपने सभी वैध मार्गों का उपयोग करें।

इस भाग में आप विभिन्न प्रकार के अनादर को देखेंगे और साथ ही समाज में धार्मिक मूल्यों को संरक्षित करने तथा इन अपमानों को रोकने का प्रयास कर रही हिंदू जनजागृति समिति के प्रयासों को भी देखेंगे।

श्रद्धास्थलों के उपहास के उदाहरण

सामान्यत: पूछे जानेवाले प्रश्न

In the broad sense, denigration means displaying something in an undesirable form/shape, one that is different from its original form/shape. On a Dharmik / spiritual level any act or object that obstructs emanation of subtle sattvik vibrations of the Divine Principle can also be considered as denigration. (All creation is made of three kinds of vibrations – tamasik, rajasik and sattvik. Each creation has a combination of these three, with one being predominant. These are the subtlest of all basic qualities. The tamasik qualities are the most inferior and the sattvik are the most superior.) Denigration can find expression in a painting, sculpture, text, words, sentences, play, films etc. 

1. Divine symbols emanate Sattva component (or Divine vibrations).

2. A Divine symbol embodies the Divine being it represents. Hence, it represents Divine qualities and serves as a beacon for the common man to walk the right path in this life.

3. A Divine symbol serves as a source of inspiration to an individual, to live his life in a righteous manner.

4. For a believer in the Divine being, the symbol draws equal reverence. (In contrast, a non-believer finds it impossible to feel anything for the symbol, when he does not believe in the Divine.)

5. Because of such qualities and their nature, Divine symbols occupy a special place in the hearts and minds of the devout. Faith, which follows, is a by-product of this phenomenon.

6. Divinity of the mind is the ultimate stage in evolution of a man. To achieve this, he requires the help of some form/shape. Symbols serve this purpose. Note : For the current discussion, we will treat a human being and a Divine being as separate entities. However humans who have attained self realisation are included in the category of Divine beings.

1. Intentional : When the denigration is intended to hurt the feelings of the devout

A. Out of malice

Example: 1. Paintings by MF Husain

B. To destroy its importance and create confusion about it in the minds of people

Example: 1. Shri Ganesh depicted as Hitler, Laden and Bush

2. Unintentional: When the denigration takes place unknowingly

A. Out of ignorance

Example: 1. Deity Shiva depicted as Dog

B. For commercial gains

Example: 1. Shri Durga with whisky bottles in Her hand

C. Due to lack of pride for its qualities

Example: 1. Shrikrushna in shorts

A. Denigration can shatter faith of individuals and set unwanted examples for future generations.

B. Create a doubt about the credibility of the Divine and / or its symbol. Finally, it can even cause exclusion of religious practices, and facilitate gradual demise of certain important practices.

Character assassination tarnishes a person’s reputation. Commenting on a Politician / public figures misdeeds or sketching their cartoons, are examples where a difference of opinion can lead to a person being shown in bad light. This is a very base example of denigration. However denigrating the Divine questions the very relationship humans have with the Divine. It questions the one’s faith in Divinity and Its powers. It erodes moral, social and spiritual values. Therefore there is an urgent need to educate and oppose any denigration of Deities and Divine symbols, that may occur through any medium.

Freedom of expression does not mean absolute freedom. One’s freedom to express their thoughts cannot hurt the sentiments that the other person has for their faith. 

Any mockery of God is an attack on the sentiments that a devotee associates with that Deity. This is an attack on Dharma. Countering attacks on Dharma is the need of the hour. It is very much a part of the worship of that Deity. Thus, if we want to ensure our worship of the Deity is complete, we should be alert about denigrations and counter them in every legal manner possible.

You are not alone O Hindu! You have the power of Dharma with you. If every Hindu has this thought, then together we can counter denigrations of our Deities and Dharma. No one will even think of mocking them.
