Know more about Hindu Dharmajagruti Sabha in Virginia
Blessings in the form of a message by Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami Jayendra Saraswati on the occasion of proposed ‘Hindu Dharmajagruti Sabha’ at Virginia
1. History of ‘Virginia’ city: ‘Vargenia’ is a Sanskrit word. Earlier, the city was split in 8 parts which were later dissolved into a small city and was named as ‘Virginia’. Our religion is ‘Vaidik Sanatan Hindu Dharma’. ‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinaha’ and ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ are two prayers in Hindu Dharma. Same meaning is derived from these prayers and that is, there was only one Sanatan Hindu Dharma prevailing in the world. Over the period, its condition deteriorated and presently, it has become very weak.
2. History of ‘California and ‘Russia’: California is a city where Kapil Maharshi had undertaken penance. People came there for River Ganga from ‘Sagarputra loka’ and therefore, it is called as ‘Kapilaranya’ that later became ‘California’. We find symbols used in Hindu Dharma all over the world. The residence of the Sage Kapil came to be known as ‘Russia’.
3. Reasons for foundation of other religions like Christianity, Islam and Buddhism: Buddhism was introduced in Japan. Buddhism originated from Hindu Dharma. Muslims do not adopt Christianity and Christians do not convert to Islam; but only Hindus convert to these religions. There were Hindus all over the world; but they converted to Christianity, Islam or Buddhism. Our Dharma is spread world-wide.
4. A French astrologer has predicted that Vaidik Sanatan Hindu Dharma is on the threshold of spreading all over the world: There was an astrologer in France who predicted that religions like Islam, Christianity and Buddhism will be eradicated in 20 years. Vaidik Sanatan Hindu Dharma will spread all over the world. A supreme being will take birth in Southern India. Considering the present condition, many people have stopped going to church and are following various spiritual paths like meditation, bhajan, keertans etc. and are thus, coming under the aegis of Vaidik Sanatan Hindu Dharma. Hindu Dharma was prevalent all over the world. Even now, in a country like Greece, Hindu Dharma is getting re-established. Our nation and Dharma was an undivided Bharat pervading the world.
5. Organization of ‘Hindu Dharnma-jagruti Sabha’ at Virginia in USA by ‘Forum for Hindu Awakening’ in association with Sanatan Sanstha and Hindu Janajagruti Sanstha: I was happy to know that ‘Forum for Hindu Awakening’ in association with Sanatan Sanstha and Hindu Janajagruti Sanstha has organized ‘Hindu Dharmajagruti Sabha’ on Ashadha Kru. 11, Kaliyuga Varsha 5111 (18.7.2009). Let everyone become a follower of Sanatan Vaidik Dharma and let this Dharma and Indian culture regain its past glory. Acquire Sree Guru’s grace and lead a blessed life. Jai jai Shankar, Har Har Shankar!!!’
