Inauguration of Hindu Dharmajagruti Sabha by lighting a Samai (an oil lamp) |
Kottayam (Kerala): Kottayam, situated in central Kerala, history was created when Dharmasabha was conducted in the famous Thirunakkara Mahadeva temple grounds on Sunday, 14th November. It was the first time in Kerala that all the speakers were females. Miss Rashmi Parameshwaran of Sanatan Sanstha, Miss Supriya Prasad of Sanatan Prabhat and Miss Praneeta Prasad of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti spoke on the occasion.
Dharmajagruti Sabha began with the blowing of conch. Then there was the chanting of vedamantras and traditional lighting of lamp. Mr. Thankachan spoke about the activities of the Samiti while Miss Aditi Prasad of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti did the compeering. About 150 devout Hindus attended the programme.
Speaking on the occasion Miss Rashmi said that Sanatan Sanstha was being falsely implicated in Margao bomb blast and though NIA (National investigating agency) had proved that Sanatan Sanstha had no hand in the blast it is still facing a lot of opposition from Anti-Hindu forces which are trying to implicate and ban it. She also added that Sanstha was always involved in spreading the science of spirituality in society and such false allegations were done to malign and stop the Sanstha’s mission in the spread of spirituality. She said that spiritual practice like chanting was the best means to survive in the coming tough times.
Miss Supriya representing ‘Sanatan Prabhat’ a staunch Hindu periodical spoke about the distinguishing features of Sanatan Prabhat and about its successful mission of imparting the corrective perpective behind the happenings in society.
Speaking about the present state of our Nation and Dharma. Miss Praneeta said that the main cause of all the problems faced by our country and degradation of Dharma was the lack of knowledge of Dharma in the society and also division of Hindus on the basis of caste. She stressed that it was vital for all Hindus to learn about Dharma, practice it themselves and impart it to others in society.
In the end Miss Praneeta read out the resolutions of the Sabha and the audience gave their approval in unison. The sabha ended by the rendering of Vande Mataram.
