Kerala’s Communist government and Congress do not want the Sabarimala Yatra! – T.B. Shekhar, Chairman, Sabarimala Ayyappa Seva Samajam
Ramnath Devasthan – Sabarimala Ayyappa Seva Samajam was established in 2008 under the chairmanship of former Mizoram Governor Kumaram Rajasekhar. It was established with the motto Serve Ayyappa Save Sabarimala. This organisation is working to ensure that the devotees who come to Sabarimala have a safe and hassle-free darshan of Swami Ayyappa, because pilgrims coming here face many difficulties. Congress or communist governments that have ruled Kerala till date are anti-Hindu. They don’t want the journey of Hindu pilgrims to go smoothly. They create many obstacles for the pilgrims, said T.B. Shekhar (Chairman, Sabarimala Ayyappa Seva Samajam). He was speaking in the Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav (2024)
Mr Shekhar further said that the Kerala government opposes Annadaan (food donation). Swami Ayyappa is known as ‘Annadaan Prabhu’. Sabarimala Ayyappa Seva Samajam had to go to the Supreme Court and obtain permission to donate food. Sabarimala vritam (avowed observance) lasts for 48 days. 80 thousand pilgrims visit Sabarimala every day during the Yatra period. For these pilgrims, Sabarimala Ayyappa Seva Samajam has started 140 food donation centers in Kerala on the way to Sabarimala. A food donation center has been opened every 50 km. Christians tried to build a church in the Sabarimala area, but had to abandon the project after Hindus protested. An attempt was made to remove the Dhwajastambh (temple flag pole) there to build an airport at Arunmula.
Swami Ayyappa in Sabarimala temple is in Chinmay mudra. Therefore, according to the temple tradition, women above 10 years and below 50 years of age are prohibited from entering this temple. In the year 2019, the Supreme Court gave the verdict to allow women of all age groups to enter the temple. Against this decision, 60,000 women took to the streets in Pathnamthitta and protested against the breaking of temple tradition. We filed a review petition and now the temple traditions have been restored. Sabarimala is visited by most pilgrims after the Vatican and Mecca. The government wants to reduce the number of pilgrims here. So they create obstacles.
We have started conducting programmes for the local tribals, an orphanage with food and education, to combat conversions.
God protected us while we protected cows – Satish Kumar, National President, Goraksha Dal and Rashtriya Sanghatan Mantri, Shri Hindu Takht, Punjab
Goa – If the cow is saved, the world will be saved. The government will do its job. If we want to serve the nation, Dharma, and cows, we have to fight. The war of Dharma and Adharma is definitely going to happen. One day Hindus will have to face life or death struggles, so they have to prepare themselves now. Cow slaughter and slaughterhouses have still not stopped in India. The troubles of gorakshaks have not reduced. Even today gorakshaks are arrested. We were attacked numerous times when protecting cows, but God protected us every time. If we protect God, Dharma, nation and cow, we will get happiness. We demand that the government should declare the cow as the National Animal and stop cow slaughter, asserted Satish Kumar, the National President of the Goraksha Dal. He was speaking on the third day of the Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav here.
Satish Kumar’s efforts to practice spirituality while in jail
I was in jail for 3 years for my goraksha (protection of cows) work. There I chanted the name of God and also authored 5 books. The day I was put in jail was Sri Krishna Janmashtami. Death is inevitable. That trouble is related to the body, not the mind. Therefore, if you want to serve Dharma, then set aside fear.
For the past few years, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has been trying to establish a Hindu Rashtra in India. The demand for Hindu Rashtra started from the ‘Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Rashtra Adhiveshan’ being held in this land of Goa. Now the demand for Hindu Rashtra is rising all over the country! – Satish Kumar, National President, Goraksha Dal
Om Certificate to tackle the Halal certificate based Islamic economy – Narendra Surve, Spokesperson, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Delhi
Islamic onslaught of India has been going on for centuries. The aggressors have changed their methods of attack during this period. The USA ruled the world on the strength of its economy. So with the idea that a strong economy will help control the world, the first step was to introduce Islamic Banking. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, an economist himself, allowed Islamic banking in India during the Congress government in India. But then the government changed and nothing materialised. After that Halal certification was introduced. In 2017, Halal certification was valued at US $2.1 trillion (more than 1 thousand 754 lakh crore rupees). By 2028, the economy of Halal certification is likely to increase to US $4 trillion (over Rs. 3,400,000,000 crores). Halal certification has faced opposition in Japan, Australia, France. Halal certification has been banned in Uttar Pradesh since November 2023. Post-ban, 3,000 kg of Halal products were seized in Uttar Pradesh. Poor quality prasad is offered in shops located at pilgrimage sites in Maharashtra. Therefore, the prasad shops located at the places of pilgrimage will be issued an Om Certificate by Om Pratishthan. Hindus should use the Om Certificate to deal a blow to Halal Certification.
Youth should become physically, mentally and spiritually strong to establish the Hindu Rashtra – Mr Prajjwal Gupta, President, Hindu Janseva Samiti, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
Ramnath Devasthan – If a Hindu Rashtra is to be established, the youths have to be inspired regarding it, and they should become strong physically, mentally and spiritually. Dharma alone can protect society. So Hindus have to be awakened through Dharmik programmes, asserted Advocate Alok Tiwari.
Advocate Tiwari established the Hindu Janaseva Samiti at Kakori (District Lakshmanpuri) to organise the youth. He further said, “There was a massive conversion programme by Christians in the area around Lakshmanpuri from 2012 to 2015. So in 2016, we installed a Kalash each in 1,200 houses of converts. We encouraged them to offer sacrifices in Yajnas. After that 5-5 young men were given the responsibility of a temple each. In this way, 500 youth are not connected to 100 temples. These temples are cleaned once a week, Hanumanchalisa is recited and Naamsankirtan is performed.”
