From now on Varkaris will no longer take out processions but only ‘De Dhakka’ ! – H.B.P. Mahadev Maharaj Shivnikar
Illegal action taken by the government appointed temple committee at Pandharpur
* More than 800 varkaris take a procession to Tahsildar office
* Demand to dissolve the temple committee
Pandharpur (Maharashtra): The government appointed Vitthal-Rukmini temple committee belongs to butcher’s caste and has absolutely no relation to Lord Vitthal. The committee members are showing their stupidity by giving statements such as ‘Terrorists had visited Pandharpur’. The committee does nothing whatsoever for the varkaris and hence the committee must be dissolved, (Dissolving a committee means appoint a new committee afresh ! Instead the management of the temple itself should be handed over to the varkaris or devotees ! – Editor SP) and the facility of paying 200 rupees to gain a direct entry into the temple instead of standing in a queue should be permanently stopped. If the Chief Minister does not accept these demands immediately, then henceforth the varkaris will not demonstrate by taking out processions. Instead the government will have to face the sudden exuberance of the vakaris; in other words they will have to face a ‘De Dhakka’ like situation. Such a strong warning was given by H.B.P. Mahadev Maharaj Shivnikar, Chief of Shri Samast Varkari Fadkari Dindi Samaj. (That such a warning needs to be given and that saints have to come on the roads to highlight the requirement of safety of the temple itself shows the hatred of Hindus inculcated in the government activities ! No other religious leader from other religions needs to come on the roads to demonstrate and protest; only Hindus need to do this, this is unfortunate ! – Editor SP)
A large procession was taken out today by Samast Varkari Fadkari Dindi Samaj to highlight the injustices and illegal activities of the government appointed temple committee. More than 800 varkaris with Tal, Mrudung, Pataka, etc, participated in this procession. The procession started from the Mahadwar (main door) and proceeded through Shivaji Chowk, Chowfala, before reaching the Tahsildar office. A memorandum stating all the demands was handed over to the Tahsildar Sailesh Suryavanshi.
Male calves from the temple cowshed have been sold to butchers has become clear ! – H.B.P. Bandatatya Karadkar
Santveer Guruvarya H.B.P Bandatatya Karadkar said, “If anyone tries to destroy the existence of varkari tradition then the varkaris will get aggressive. The fact that the temple committee has sold the male calves from the temple premises to butchers is clear to one and all. So the varkaris will remove the temple committee without taking any permission from the government.” H.B.P Dyaneshwar Maharaj Jalgaonkar said, “if people who pay 200 rupees to get a darshan do not have the faculty or capacity to wait in a queue for some time for a darshan, then why do they come to have darshan at all? All attempts to separate the varkaris from the feet of Lord Vitthal will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Varkaris will revolt and instead of singing kirtans, they will start protesting; the government should think about this !”
On this occasion H.B.P Bhagvat Maharaj Chavre said, “Few days back Prakash Ambedkar and Parth Polke visited one protest procession related to the temple. What right do people, who do not even take darshan of Lord Vitthal, have to speak about the temple ?”
H.B.P Bhanudas Maharaj Dhavlikar also expressed his views. On this occasion H.B.P. Labde Maharaj, H.B.P. Dada Maharaj Shirvalkar, H.B.P Vishnu Maharaj Kabir, H.B.P Bapusaheb Maharaj Dehukar, H.B.P Balasaheb Maharaj Ukhalikar and other chief varkaris were present in large numbers.
Some demands made in the memorandum
1. Varkari traditions such as meeting at Garud Khamb and asking forgiveness by jumping and bowing on the Rang Shila before having Mukh Darshan should not face any kind of obstruction.
2. The appointment of temple committee and its management should be taken away from the government law and finance sections and registered to the Solapur District Court .
3. The temple committee should have at least 50% members from the varkari community. (Religious committees from other religions do not have to give such a request letter to the secular (anti-religious) government. Only Hindus have to do so. This is the so called Secularism in Bharat ! – Editor SP)
