Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav (2024) : Pitiable condition of Hindus in various States

Divine worship, self defense training – a must for Hindus! – Swami Saadhanananda Maharaj, Chief Convener, Bharat Sevashram Sangh (North East Region)

It is our duty to protect Hindu Dharma and culture. Hindu Dharma is not for the weak. Hindus should fight injustice like Bhagwan Shri Ram and Bhagwan Shri Krishna. So Hindus must adopt Divine worship as well as self defense training, asserted Swami Saadhanananda Maharaj (Chief Convener, Bharat Sevashram Sangh [North East Region]). Swamiji was guiding the audience in the first session on the second day of the Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav here.

Swami Saadhanananda Maharaj further said,

1. Creating awareness about Hindu Dharma is a mission of human upliftment. Therefore Hindu Dharma and culture should be spread far and wide. If Hindu Dharma survives, we will survive.

2. We respect all religions, but those who do not respect Hindu Dharma have to be punished by law. It is our duty to fight injustice.

3. At present Hindus lack unity. So they are insecure. Only when the Hindus unite, then will the Hindu Rashtra be established and the downfall of Hindus stop.

4. Swami Pranavananda, the founder of Bharat Sevashram Sangh, said, ‘All Hindu Gods have weapons in their hands. Hence, Hindus should shed their weakness and become powerful’. This is why Bharat Sevashram Sangh provides self defense training to Hindus.

5. Hindus are facing various attacks like love jihad, religious conversion, etc. Sevashram Sangh puts up a legal fight against these. The Sevashram Sangh works to stop conversions as well as to reconvert converts to Hinduism. Along with this, it is engaged in various activities like running schools, hospitals, and hostels for the poor.

Sadhana is the solution to all problems! – Swami Nirgunananda Puri, Treasurer and Branch Secretary, International Vedanta Society, Bengal

The political situation in West Bengal deteriorated during the communist rule. The communist government did irreparable damage to our tradition and culture. During this period the condition of Hindu society became pitiable. Hindus stopped going to temples. Today in Bengal, the villages have become desolate due to the exodus of Hindus. These villages have been taken over by Muslims. Tribals, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes here are being alienated from Hinduism. They are being told that they are not Hindus. These people are being deceived by creating false narratives. Society is being divided. Swami Nirgunananda Puri of Bengal stressed that sadhana (Spiritual practice) is the sole solution to all problems. He was speaking on the topic ‘Challenges to Hindu Unity in Bengal and Solutions’.

He added that as the problem grows, the enemy grows stronger. We must know our enemy and face them boldly instead of fleeing. We must prepare the counter-narrative to counter the narrative.

Hindu Rashtra should be established starting from Kashmir! – Vitthal Chaudhary, President, Youth for Panun Kashmir, Delhi

Kashmir is the birthplace of Indian culture. Kashmir has a glorious history. Great sages, heroes were born in Kashmir. But presently Hindus are in dire straits in the same Kashmir which has such a rich history. When Sanatan Dharma spreads in Kashmir, only then will Hindu Rashtra be established in India. Aggressors have forcibly snatched Kashmir from Hindus. Bhagwan Vishnu in Vaman Avatar took the land from Baliraja in the first step. Similarly, the first step for Hindu Rashtra should be in Kashmir. Hindu Rashtra should be established starting from Kashmir.

Kashmiri Hindus have been displaced from Kashmir since the 15th century. The displacement in the 1990s is the 7th in this series. Kashmiri Hindus have been displaced 4 times just over the last 100 years. But it is unfortunate that Indians came to know this only after the release of the Kashmir Files movie.

When India became independent, the Hindu population in Kashmir was 14.1 percent. Currently, the Kashmiri Hindu population is 0.001 percent. ‘Ek Bharat Abhiyan’ was launched for the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Hindus. For this, 20 marches were taken out in various places in India, and 100 meetings were held. More than 250 organisations supported it. Now it is necessary to implement the second phase of this campaign, said Vitthal Chaudhary of Youth for Panun Kashmir. He was speaking on the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Hindus.

Church rule in Kanyakumari and some other districts of Tamil Nadu! – Arjun Sampath, Founder President, Hindu Makkal Katchi, Tamil Nadu

There is no secularism left in Tamil Nadu. Hindus here do not know that they are Hindus. Their only identity is that of being Tamil. The current rulers of Tamil Nadu are anti-Indian, anti-Sanatan and anti-Brahmin. Tamil people are movie fanatics. They choose their leaders from movies. The government in Tamil Nadu appoints its own people to the The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments board. Leaders of Dravidian parties like the ruling DMK are talking about destroying Sanatan Dharma. The people of Tamil Nadu practice Hindu Dharma, but they elect DMK in the elections.

There is an awakening among Hindus now. Due to this, the BJP received 12 percent votes in the Lok Sabha elections. Tamil Nadu is going to be Sanatan Bhoomi in the future. Hindu Rashtra is our birthright. First Hindu Rashtra will be created in India and then Hindu Rashtra will be established all over the world. If India becomes powerful, the whole world will become powerful, said Arjun Sampath. He was speaking on the anti-Hindu mentality of the Tamil Nadu government, its consequences, and solutions.

Mr Sampath further said,
1. In Tamil Nadu, the Hindu population is decreasing and the Muslim population is increasing. This is the reality. Now they are resorting to vote jihad.

2. Among Tamil Christians only the Bishop exercises authority. In Kanyakumari and some other districts of Tamil Nadu where Christians are a majority, there is Church rule.

3. The DMK government is a crypto-Christian government. Hindu votes have been divided. More than 200 temples in the state were demolished by the DMK government.

4. DMK government has withdrawn all cases against Urban Naxals. 160 Hindu activists have been killed by jihadis in Tamil Nadu.

Increase in incidents like love jihad due to Hindus giving up sadhana and kshatratej! – Yati Ma Chetanananda Saraswati, Mahant, Dasna Peeth, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh

Post independence, the values of some Hindu women have fallen so low that they are willingly going with the adharmis. The seeds of Love Jihad are planted through Islamic funding to movies. There is a narrative being set that Hindu Dharma has accorded a low status to women. An attempt is being made to show that Hindu Dharma is backward. Looking at the history of Indian women, we find that there have been many heroines and scholars in history. If Hindu girls had been given education in Hindu Dharma, the crisis of Love Jihad would not have arisen. Presently, not only Hindu girls, but married women are also victims of love jihad.

After Yogi Adityanath’s government came to power in Uttar Pradesh, incidents of molestation of Hindu girls have come under control, but haven’t stopped. It is our biggest mistake that Hindus don’t have Shatrubodh (understand the modus operandi of the enemies). Hindus should at least teach Shatrubodh to their own families. Incidents like love jihad have increased as Hindus have given up sadhana (Spiritual practice) and kshatratej (Radiance of a warrior). In the current Lok Sabha elections, 37 MPs of the Samajwadi Party were elected. So the near future is going to be filled with struggles. Yati Ma Chetanananda Saraswati appealed that Hindus should be ready to fight this battle. She was speaking on the issue of Love Jihad in Uttar Pradesh and its solutions.

Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav provides energy to serve Dharma!

The Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav provides the energy necessary to work for Dharma. The Dharmabodh (Guidance on Dharma) received in this Mahotsav helps one serve Dharma competently in their own spheres. This Mahotsav is reviving Sanskars. Hindus should obtain energy to serve Dharma from this Mahotsav. This Mahotsav teaches how to selflessly dedicate oneself to the service of Dharma. Yati Ma Chetanananda Saraswati said that if we dedicatedly serve Dharma, then Hindu Dharma will be established over the entire world and not just in India.

Do not share the identity of women on social media!

In many places, Hindu women share their information on social media. The press also broadcasts the identity of those girls who are victims of Love Jihad. This poses a threat to the lives of these young women from Jihadi terrorists. Yati Ma Chetanananda Saraswati appealed that Hindu women, as well as others should not broadcast the identity of women on social media under any circumstance.
