Hindu Intellectual Forum to counter intellectual attacks on Hindu Dharma – Sadguru Dr Charudatta Pingale, National Guide, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti
Today, the communists and left ideologues are utilising various toolkits to manufacture and set narratives to favour the situation. Communists use these narratives to project lies as the truth and waylay society through media, politicians, etc. On the contrary, we fall short in conveying to society the injustice inflicted on us. In order to cover this gap, a ‘Hindu Intellectual Forum’ (Hindu Vichar Parishad) has been established with the help of some Hindu thinkers who attended this Adhiveshan. This forum will effectively counter defamation of Hindu Dharma in future, asserted Sadguru Dr Charudatta Pingale, National Guide, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. He was speaking in the inaugural plenary session of the Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav (2024).

Hindu society has forgotten its responsibilities!
This year’s Lok Sabha election is a lesson for all of us who are working for Hindutva, and not just the BJP. A section of awakened Hindus is under the impression that the central government subscribes to our views, so everything will happen and they don’t need to do anything. Another section is of the view that whatever should have happened, hasn’t happened, but still remains optimistic about the future. So, Hindu society as a whole takes things for granted or is so dependent on others that it has forgotten its responsibilities, be it casting votes or having the elected government work in the interests of Hindus. This has to change.
Need to work on effectively presenting the injustice inflicted on Hindus
This Lok Sabha election has seen the likes of Amrtipal (a Khalistani terrorist accused of sedition), Rashid Engineer (a Kashmiri separatist), and Captain Viriato Fernandes (who claimed that the Constitution was imposed on Goa) elected as MPs. This is a matter of great concern for the country. Therefore, some radical changes are required in the laws of the country. The Supreme Court had said in April 2023 that hate speech must be booked irrespective of religion. When anti-Sanatan elements spew venom about Sanatan Dharma, nothing happens, but when Suresh Chavanke (Chief Editor, Sudarshan Channel) asks people to take an oath of Hindavi Swaraj in a programme, he is promptly booked for hate speech. Bhagyanagar MLA T Rajasingh, some spokespersons of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti also have been booked. So we have to be cautious when reporting the injustice that Hindus face. We need to work on how to effectively present this injustice without getting caught in legal tangles.
Only constant vigilance, aggression, and expansionist policy can secure Hindu Dharma! – Mahamandaleshwar Acharya Swami Pranavananda Saraswati, Founder, Shri Swami Akhandananda ji Gurukul Ashram, Indore, Madhya Pradesh
It is a lie that Hindus were not aggressive or did not hold expansionist views. On the day of Dasara, our forefathers not only crossed the boundaries of the village, but also stepped across national borders. A narrow sense understanding about the motherland is preventing us from being expansionist. Hindus have to become expansionists. Hindus are not vigilant. Hindus should be alert about the happenings around them. We should learn this from the ants. Ants do not allow any other animal to enter their home. If someone tries to enter their anthill, they attack and destroy it outside the anthill. This alertness and aggressiveness should be embraced by Hindus. Hindus should be vigilant to protect family, land, nation, and Dharma. If someone attacks our Dharma, we should aggressively counter it, asserted Mahamandaleshwar Acharya Swami Pranavananda Saraswati, Founder, Shri Swami Akhandananda ji Gurukul Ashram (Indore, Madhya Pradesh). He was speaking on the work done to prevent religious conversion in tribal areas, in the first session on the first day of the Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav (2024).

Hindu unity necessary for Hindu Rashtra!
He said that we cannot realise the dream of Hindu Rashtra without Hindu unity. The most important thing is for Hindus to be united. All Hindus should foster a sense of unity. Even if we belong to different castes and sects, we should have a sense of unity. We should strengthen the spirit of Hindu unity.
It is necessary to abide by the code of conduct as per Hindu Dharma
It is a matter of great concern that atheism and rebelliousness are increasing among Hindus. Most Hindus have received no education on Dharma. It is concerning that Hindus are converting to other religions. Poverty is not the reason for conversion, but neglect of Dharma is causing Hindus to convert. It is important to understand Hindu Dharma and act accordingly, only then is the establishment of Hindu Rashtra possible. We cannot make India a Hindu Rashtra without embracing ethics. Only if we bring good character into our life and behavior, can we effectively propagate Hindu Dharma. We must convey Sanatan Dharma and the knowledge contained within, to every person.
Sanatan Sanstha’s mission is Divine!
There is a Divine force backing Sanatan Sanstha. Sanatan Sanstha is functioning only because of this Divine power. Sanatan Sanstha founder Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Athavale is an eminent ascetic whose work is blessed by Shri Ram and Shri Krishna’s energy. – Mahamandaleshwar Acharya Swami Pranavananda Saraswati
Western scientific progress founded on Indian knowledge! – Dr Nilesh Oak, Institute of Advanced Sciences, USA
Sanatan Dharma is based on Shabdpramaan (Reliable verbal evidence), but Pratyaksha pramaan (Evidence gathered by observation) is equally important. Our Sages provided testimony (they put into words) of that which they experienced (observed). Therefore we should understand that, that which we call as Shabdpramaan now was actually observed and measured by Sages. So we should now try to experience this Shabdpramaan. At present, although science has progressed in Europe, this knowledge was carried from India. The west achieved rapid scientific progress only by translating the rich texts of India, said Dr Nilesh Oak (from the Institute of Advanced Sciences, USA). He was speaking on ‘Sanatan Hindu Dharma : The Strength of Vishwaguru Bharat’ in the first session of the first day of the Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav (2024) here.
Dr Oak further said that there are hundreds of astronomical references in Ramayana and Mahabharata. These references provide clear evidence that the Mahabharata war took place 7,585 years ago, while the Ramayana took place 12,296 years ago. He also said that each of the 500-600 universities in the USA have multiple versions and copies of the Ramayana and Mahabharata and that they are studied diligently.
Dr Oak said that we express doubt when we should harbour faith, and harbour faith where doubt is due. He gave the message that each of us should practice Truth for the Intellect, Service for the Body, and Restraint for the Mind.
Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav to re-energise devout Hindus – Ranjit Savarkar, Chairman, Swatantryaveer Savarkar Rashtriya Smarak, Mumbai
‘Narendra Modi has recently received the mandate to form the government at the centre for the third time. The fact that this government did not get the expected number of MPs has created some discouragement among devout Hindus. But the Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav which has started now will dispel this despondency and spread enthusiasm among devout Hindus across the nation’, said Ranjit Savarkar, the Chairman of the Swatantryaveer Savarkar Rashtriya Smarak (Mumbai). He was speaking in the inaugural session of the Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav (2024) here. Savarkar spoke on the need to encourage Hindu-to-Hindu business.
We will not get Hindu Rashtra as charity, it can only be achieved with a struggle. For that we need study, and Hindu unification. In the Mahabharata, the Pandavas withdre their weapons from the Shami tree after 12 years of exile. It was a festival. Similarly, Hindus have to draw their weapons and destroy anti-Hindu narratives. These are not conventional weapons but ideological ones. The economic weapon is the most important among them. With this in mind, the Om Shuddha Certificate has been launched in Trimbakeshwar to counter the Halal based parallel economy created by the Muslims (religious fanatics). This certificate, which has been launched with the cooperation of numerous Hindu organisations, will only be issued to Hindu traders. There are many Muslims (non-Hindus) who run shops that sell ‘prasad’ in pilgrim places. The question remains as to whether that prasad is pure and holy. Therefore, this movement is being implemented to offer pure and holy offerings to God.
