Unity of all pro-Hindu groups will end sordid state of Hindus – H.H. Rajivji Maharaj
The state of the Hindus is deplorable not only in India but in foreign countries also. Atrocities are perpetrated on all the Hindus including the overseas ones. It is an achievement itself that the Hindus are getting awakened through the medium of the Sabha. Hindus are in minority in countries other than Hindusthan. So they look to Hindusthan with great hope to get all the help in removing atrocities on them. If all the pro-Hindu organisations come together as one entity, the deplorable state of Hindus will vanish in no time. This country boasts of having heavenly abode of Deities here. It is a matter of great regret that such Deities are ridiculed in this holy land itself. It is necessary that the Hindus and the opponents should be fully awakened to this state of affairs.
Observance of religious behaviour is must to streamline Hindu Dharma! – Ramesh Shinde, spokesperson for Maharashtra State, HJS
Due to the influence of western culture the people are not aware how to observe religious behaviour and what is meant by damage to Dharma. No wonder, the incidents of not behaving religiously, drawing the pictures of Deities in any wrong manner, keeping quiet and tolerating when some one speaks ill of our Dharma and Deities etc. are on the increase. Observing religious behaviour is a must to streamline Hindu Dharma.
Of late the so-called rationalists and workers of Andhhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti (ANS) are trying to break up Hindu Dharma. They say, “adhere to science”; but we should also understand the demerits of science. Science gives mediums of pleasure, but not pleasure. Science cannot deliver peace to man nor can it give morality. Science cannot bring about development of qualities in man. Because science does have a philosophy of its own. Science is not aware of all these things.
