Stop apeing the West, protect Hindu culture, and practice Dharma! – Mangesh Khandel, District Coordinator, Yavatmal, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti
Yavatmal : Hindu culture is great, universal and for the welfare of all. It thinks of every being, including mankind. India had a Gurukul system of education in the past. In it 14 sciences and 64 arts were being taught. The teaching of moral values, along with spiritual and practical education, made the society better; But the cunning Englishmen closed down the Gurukul system of education and introduced the English system of education designed by Macaulay, which led to the decline in moral values. Individuals moved away from culture because they did not practice Dharma. Corruption is rampant in every sector at present. Atrocities against girls and women have increased. Due to the blind imitation and wantonness of the westerners, the individual has turned to materialistic pleasures. As a result, most people are sad. Therefore, in order to get eternal happiness, protect Hindu culture by practicing Dharma instead of blindly imitating the Westerners. This was an earnest appeal by Shri. Mangesh Khandel, the District Coordinator of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. He was speaking at the Hindu Rashtra Jagruti Sabha held on March 6 in the premises of Sant Fakirji Maharaj Temple at Haru in Darwha taluka.
He emphasized the importance of self-defense training in preventing attacks on women and girls. Self Defense Trainees Shri. Aniket Ardhapurkar and the girls from the self-defense training classes in the village demonstrated self-defense techniques.
Many villagers participated in this sabha. At this time H.B.P. Vishnupant Sartape Maharaj was present. Sarpanch Mrs. Mayuritai Sartape, Deputy Panch Mrs. Ashatai Sono, as well as the villagers accorded invaluable support to organise the Sabha. Mrs. Usha Sawade took the initiative to organise the sabha.
