How can we change geography if we don’t know the history ? : Jagadguru Swami Vidyabhaskarji Maharaj

Jagadguru Swami Vidyabhaskarji Maharaj stated, “Today, we are demanding for Hindu Rashtra in India; but we need to know that King Dasharath ruled the whole world. This history is mentioned in ‘Mahapurana’. How can we change geography if we don’t try to learn about our history ? There is a dire need of the ‘Sanatan Board’ to protect Sanatan scriptures.”

Sanatan Board should not be Government controlled : Jagadguru Swami Raghavacharyaji Maharaj

Jagadguru Swami Raghavacharyaji Maharaj stated, “Sanatan Board should not be managed by the Government. It should be managed by a managing committee with inclusion of all four Shankaracharya, Pithadheeshwar of all four Sampradaya, Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of Akhadas, Shri Mahant, etc. We have the right not only to India but to the whole earth.”

Hindus will have to take up an aggressive stance now : BJP MLA T Raja Singh

BJP MLA T Raja Singh

BJP MLA T Raja Singh from Telangana stated that the Waqf Board earlier owned two lakh acres of land which has now increased to ten lakh acres. After the Government department such as Defence (18 lakh acres), and Railways (12 lakh acres), Waqf Board is the third to own the largest land (10 lakh acres). The lands of temples and our farmers have been grabbed by the Waqf Board. Therefore, Sanatan Board is a must to get back those lands. Besides, this Board will also work as a protective cover for various attacks on Hindu Dharma in the form of Love Jihad, Land Jihad, cow-slaughtering etc. The Union Government should, therefore, set up this Board by holding discussions with all Saints and Sadhus. Hindus have demanded establishment of ‘Sanatan Board’ four times, still it has not yet been set up. Hindus will have to become aggressive for fulfilment of their demand.

Declaring India a Hindu Rashtra is the solution to all problems : Sadguru Dr Charudatta Pingale, HJS

Sadguru Dr Charudatta Pingale said, “This Dharma Sansad is an expression of the sentiments of 100 crore Hindus. We have already given 30% land to 15% of the population of this country. Now, 10 lakh acres of land has been given through Waqf Board. It is the sign of the beginning of the second partition of this country. Funds are provided to the Waqf Board to protect Islam though it is a secular country. Moreover, provision is made for their growth. Attempts are on to ‘Islamize’ India through Waqf Board. In olden days, kings used to provide funds for construction of temples. Now, they are ruling with the help of temple money. It is a big sin. Formation of ‘Sanatan Board’ and declaring India a Hindu Rashtra is the effective solution to all problems.

Proposal for ‘Sanatan Board Act’ approved

A proposal of ‘Sanatan Hindu Board Act’ was presented in the Dharma Sansad. It has been mentioned in the preamble of the Act that ‘This Act will establish a centralised Sanatan Hindu Board for the management, protection and taking care of Hindu temples in India, their properties, funds and Sanatan religious traditions. Its main objective is to protect Sanatan Dharma and its cultural heritage besides bringing transparency in the management of temples and defining their responsibilities.” All participants raised their hands in unison to approve this proposal.
