Sangli: Hindus have forgotten their religion and are blindly following the western world. Thus, incidents of aggression and atrocities are on the rise. It is time for them to get armed with weapons as told by Lord Shri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. It is the need of the hour that every Hindu devotes at least a little time for activities related to the Nation and Religion, said H.H. Kotnis Maharaj.
