Kolhapur, 8^thMarch – The whole world is worried about what decision the US President Trump will take. What decision Chinese Premier Xi Jinping will take is even more worrisome. The Russian President Putin doesn’t say much but directly takes action, while Korea’s Kim Joe is unpredictable. The whole world is facing economic, political, social and war challenges. The truth is being crushed at a global level. In such a scenario, India’s role is very important. Every Indian will have to be self-reliant and strong, stated Yogrishi Ramdev Baba. He was addressing a women’s rally organised by ‘Patanjali Yoga Samiti’ at Gandhi Maidan on the occasion of International Women’s Day celebrated on 08.03.2025. BJP MLA Dhananjay Mahadik, ‘Bhagirathi Mahila Sanstha’s Mrs Arundhati Mahadik, Central in-charge of ‘Patanjali Yoga Samiti’ Sadhvi Devpriyaji; Director with Mirje Estate Developers,  Sanmati Miraje, Maharashtra Yogasana Sport Association’s Kolhapur-President Chandrashekhar Khapane; Pramod Patil of ‘Hill Riders’, and Director ‘Patanjali Wellness Ltd’ Swami Videh Dev, etc, along with hundreds of women attended the programme. The programme was compeered by ‘Patanjali Mahila Samiti’ state-in-charge Sudhatai Allimore.

The programme started with ‘Kumarika-pujan’ by Yogrishi Ramdev Baba and the dignitaries. Yogrishi Ramdev Baba stated further, “We have faith in Sanatan Sanskruti which describes God with no form and who cannot be seen with naked eyes while the other form that is seen is the mother form of God. The mother, who bears a child for nine months in her womb, should be treated with respect, admiration and honour. Women should be empowered; their self-respect should be maintained and that should be India’s role. ‘Patanjali’ is working for this mission.”

True history is not taught even after Independence

Yogrishi Ramdev Baba added, “True history is not taught in schools even after Independence. History of Aurangzeb, Akbar and other Mughal invaders is taught; but the
glorifying history of our great Indian culture, commendable traditions, revolutionaries and brave kings is kept under wraps. We will have to properly train children at the right age and the Indian Education Board is on that job.” 

Noteworthy happenings

Women present at the rally

The women participants did ‘kumkumarchan’ in the morning before the guidance. Yogrishi Ramdev Baba first garlanded the Idol of Shri Mahalakshmi Devi as he came on the stage. All dignitaries then lit the lamp.

Women participating in the rally were also given the invitation appealing to them to come for the march. Mrs Arundhati Mahadik opined after listening to the information, “Everyone wants the name of ‘Shivaji Vidyapeeth’ to be changed to ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vidyapeeth’. Ramdev Baba also felt the same way. Through the march proposed to be held on 17.03.2025, your voice will reach the Government and I expect a decision will be taken soon at the Government-level.”
