Kathmandu (Nepal) – When Brahmin drifts apart from righteousness, it leads to severe ‘Kali-Yuga (an Era of strife)’, people become unrighteous too. Earlier, Brahmins used to practice spirituality; therefore, they used to have ‘Brahma-Tej’ and ‘Kshatra-Tej’. In present times also, there is a need to undertake spiritual practice for protection of nation and Dharma by generating ‘Brahma-Tej’ and ‘Kshatra-Tej’. H.H. Dr. Charudatta Pingle, national Guide of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) was speaking in a two-day seminar held on 1st and 2nd September at Kathmandu by ‘Rashtreeya Dharmasabha Nepal’ for priests. He was addressing the seminar as the Chief Guest.
‘Kshatra-Tej’ means Radiance of a Kshatriya
‘Brahma-Tej’ signifies Radiance of a Brahmin (a saint)
H.H. Dr. Pingle said, “Through the medium of this seminar, we should think where we are going wrong and how we are also responsible for the present condition of society. Everyone should introspect as to how one can associate even one's hosts in the mission of protection of nation and Dharma.” The seminar was inaugurated by H.H. Dr. Pingle and Shri. Bharatmani Suvedi, the Joint Secretary of Ministry of Culture, Nepal by lighting lamp in an auspicious atmosphere created by recitation of ‘Veda-mantras’. Dr. Madhav Bhattarai, the President of ‘Rashtreeya Dharma Sabha Nepal’ stated while explaining the purpose of the seminar that task of priests should not be restricted to just performing religious rituals but their contribution towards nation and society is also important.
