Parbhani: Nearly thousand Hindus came together to register their protest against the anti-Hindu Black magic Act and Act to take over temples and demanded to withdraw both the Acts immediately. H. H. Swami Govind Devgiri Maharaj said that if Hindus are conscious about their Dharma, such acts won’t come into effect. He said further that we must participate in this task as Gop and Gopis had extended support to Sree Krushna in lifting the Govardhan mountain by using their sticks.
The Temples Take-over Act is an assault on Hindu Dharma. It is necessary to fight against the Act unitedly. About 3000 devotees came from city and district and participated in the march. As the march reached the office of the District Collector, a representation was submitted to him by Resp. Mahant Babaji Maharaj. It was decided in the presence of various trustees, office-bearers of religious institutions, Hindu organizations and Sampradayas to continue the agitation.
