Hindus in dire straits after temples stopped providing education on Dharma – Sadguru Swati Khadaye, Dharmapracharak, Sanatan Sanstha
India became a secular country after independence. Since temples stopped providing education on Dharma, Hindus are now in dire straits. People do not know what to do in temples, what to pray for, how to obtain Darshan, what should be offered to God, etc. Sanatan Sanstha started providing this information and Dharmik education about temples in 2005. The HJS conducts 527 Dharmashikshan varg (classes) across the nation. If the devotees are provided education on Dharma, temples will once again become centres of propagation of Dharma.
