Become advocates for the Hindu Rashtra on social media ! – Sadguru (Dr.) Charudatt Pingale, National Guide, HJS
Hindu Dharma is surrounded by problems. Instead of addressing each problem individually it is imperative that a Dharma based Hindu Rashtra is established. The social media activists should remember that we have to use social media to establish the Hindu Rashtra. So instead of limiting oneself to the casual use of social media, study the concept of Hindu Rashtra and become effective advocates for the Hindu Rashtra on social media. This will help make the task of establishing the Hindu Rashtra effective. Sadguru Dr Charudatt Pingale the National Guide of HJS said this while speaking in the concluding session of the 1 day Social Media Conclave held under the aegis of the 8th All India Convention for the Hindu Rashtra on 2nd June 2019. Shri. Ajay Sharma (Co-founder, Upword), Shri. Nandan Mishra (Partner, Hi-tech Construction, Prayagraj UP), Shri. Ranjit Vadiyala (Shivashakti, Andhra Pradesh) and Shri. Manav Buddhadev (follower, Asaramji Bapu, Amaravati) were present.
Sadguru Dr Charudatt Pingale further said
- Currently the communists and communist controlled media are forcing their thoughts down the throats of the Hindus. These views can be countered strongly using teachings of Sanatan Dharma. It is more productive to use social media to do this.
- Coming together for this conclave has increased brotherhood and solidarity. Include those who are working for the cause of Hindutva in your area in this task. Also involve those who can systematically condemn the anti Dharmik ideologies on social media, as well as local lawyers who can provide guidance on legal matters. If the goal of establishing the Hindu Rashtra drives you while doing this task, success can be achieved quickly and less effort. This unity will work on the level of Jnanshakti (power of knowledge).
- We need to prepare a new generation of skilled inspired youth who will work for the cause of Hindutva after being made aware of the atrocities being committed against Hindus.
Social Media successful in exposing the communists ! – Ranjit Vadiyala, Shivashakti, Andhra Pradesh
Today social media has dislodged books, newspapers, TV as the preferred medium for consumption of news. Media is immensely powerful when it comes to news dispersal and harvesting the power of the community. Media is under the control of 4-5 organizations and they shape the thoughts and opinions of the crores of people here. The communists realised the power that the media holds and promptly gained a stranglehold on it. Social media is an intellectual weapon which has been quite successful in exposing the communists.
Before posting anything on social media study the issue thoroughly and only then share your opinion on it. This earns the trust of the people. It is essential to build a positive image on social image. Instead of trying to change / reform someone, our aim should be to share the truth/facts. This will make the people naturally gravitate towards us.
Need to provide contemporary and world class material on social media ! – Ajay Sharma, Co-founder Upword
India media is the stronghold of the leftwing ideology. So Hindu Dharma suffers from not having competent representation and as a result Hindu organizations are alienated from the mainstream media. So the Hindus fall short in intellectually combating the idealogical attacks against Hindu Dharma. The proHindu organizations must not rely on traditional media and should utilise the social media to address the world. It is necessary to provide contemporary and world class material on social media for it to become widely accepted. Along with this we also have to invest in this area.
We have to stand firmly by the devout Hindus who refute disinformation ! – Nandan Mishra, Hi Tech Constructions
The leftists target those who speak out on behalf of Hindus or intellectually counter the attacks on Hindu Dharma on social media. Some dharmapremis also present historical proofs to counter disinformation. But their social media accounts are suspended. Nandan Mishra of Hi Tech Constructions said that all of us have to stand firmly by the devout Hindus and oppose this.
He said that the media is being used to attack Hindu Dharma. When some dharmapremi counters these attacks on the ideological level and are targeted by the liberals or the leftists, Hindus who are active on social media do not rush to defend them. On the flip side the leftists always display unity. Choose your words carefully while sharing any thought on social media. Be emphatic and fearless wherever necessary.
Experiences of Manav Buddhadev (Santashri Asaramji Bapu follower, Amravati) on effectively using social media !
- A newspaper had published a fake news that Swami Govinddevgiri Maharaj had referred to Asaramji Bapu as ‘Ravan’. The contact number of this newspaper which defamed Saints was circulated over WhatsApp among the Asaramji Bapu devotees. The editor received many calls to this effect. Another newspaper had published a similar news, and even their phone number was circulated among the devotees. As a result the newspaper published an apology on the first page.
- Once a leader of the backward classes told a meeting to throw the Bhagavadgita into the trash bin. To counter this a poem was composed to convey the idea that ‘if you want to throw it, then throw into your trash bin (your brain)’ and posted on Youtube. It received praise from various quarters.
- While registering your protesting do so calmly. Record the calls as proof. Take screenshots on your phone. Many Hindus don’t reflect on WhatsApp forwards before sharing them will their contacts.
Shri. Manav Buddhadev expressed the opinion that other newspapers publish fake news. He said ‘I don’t read any newspaper other than Sanatan Prabhat’.
