 ‘Bal-sadhvi’ Sushri. Saraswatiji Mishra addressing to the audience |
‘Bal-sadhvi’ Saraswatiji said while explaining the importance of Hindu Dharma, “God has given us birth in Hindu Dharma which is our good fortune. Today, in the name of secularism, Hindus are treated as outcasts in their own country. While denigrating Srikrushna, it is said that He used to dance with ‘Gopis’; but this Srikrushna had overpowered Serpent Kalia at the age of just 5 years. Will those, who are giving example of Srikrushna only for dance, be able to dance by holding just a snake? One should not, therefore, use miracles of Deities for justifying own wrongdoings. Today, police allow ‘Gou-mata’ to be taken to slaughter-house only for ten rupees. All Hindus need to unite for fighting against every injustice and they should abide by Dharma.”
 Sadhvi Dnyaneshwari Didiji addressing to the audience |
Sadhvi Dnyaneshwari Didiji explained that protection of soul is done under ‘Vyashti (individual) sadhana (spiritual practice)’ and that of nation under ‘Samashti (collective) sadhana’
 Dr. Swami Mukund Dasji Maharaj addressing the audience |
Dr. Swami Mukund Dasji Maharaj informed about damage caused to Hindus due to emulating western culture. He said, “Srikrushan used to have milk, ghee, butter of gou-mata; He had strength to lift ‘Govardhan’ mountain. Today, children are eating noodles made by foreign companies and are unable to carry even their school bags.”
 Shri. Ramesh Shinde, National Spokesperson of HJS addressing to the audience |
Shri. Ramesh Shinde, national spokesperson of HJS explained importance of ‘Dharmacharan’ and Hindu unification by narrating examples of various attacks on Hindu Dharma. He said, “Today, Hindu University cannot be set up at Vatican or Mecca-Medina; but Muslims are building Islamic University at pilgrimage place of Hindus at Tirupati. Money offered in temples by Hindus is distributed amongst minorities and Hindus are indifferent towards the same.”
Shri. Shinde said while explaining the significance of Hindu new Year, “In the original Gregorian calendar followed by the British, there used to be only ten months. They added January and February months when they learnt that there should be 12 months in a year. In the month of February, the lastly added month; therefore, there are 28 or 29 days to adjust total days of a year. How can then New Year start from 1st January for those who did not know about January month ?”
 Shri. Atul Jeswani of ‘Hindu Seva Parishad’ addressing to the audience |
