Special Column

The sacrifice by the soldiers and generals for the Hindavi Swarajya as envisaged by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is supreme. Similarly, in the present times, many devout Hindus and patriotic citizens of this country have been striving to protect the Nation and Dharma. The ‘Warriors of Hindutva’ is a series of articles that sheds light on their life and their struggle to protect Hindu Dharma. We hope that it serves as a catalyst for the mission of establishing Hindu Rashtra and inspires many others. – Editor

As a result, the channel’s editor Rajiv Khandekar had to personally visit the Swatantryaveer Savarkar National Memorial and offer an official apology.

‘Om Certification’ movement and appeal to Hindus

It has been frequently observed that impure or adulterated ingredients are sometimes mixed into the prasad (holy offerings) presented by devotees at temples, which deeply hurts the religious sentiments of Hindus. To address this concern, a widespread initiative called the ‘Prasad Shuddhi Movement’ has been launched.

From now on, vendors distributing prasad will be required to provide a certificate of purity, known as the ‘Om Certificate’. This initiative has been introduced under a newly formed organization called ‘Om Pratishthan’, which issues these certificates. The certificate is equipped with a QR code, making it impossible to counterfeit. When scanned, the QR code displays the vendor’s name and address. If the certificate is fake, it is immediately detected and action can be taken.

To ensure purity and trust, it is strongly recommended to only purchase from vendors who possess the Om Certificate. Importantly, this certification is not limited to prasad vendors alone – it is applicable to all types of businesses.

This certificate is ‘by Hindus, for Hindus’, and it has the potential to protect Hindus from the financial conspiracies of religious extremists. This is a difficult mission, but if Hindus come together and take action to safeguard their faith and secure the future of their children, it is not impossible.

If the illegal Bangladeshi intruders continue to grow in numbers—and considering their birth rate, they will soon become the majority within the next 10–20 years—what will happen then can already be seen from the current situation in Bangladesh. These incidents are no longer limited to Bangladesh; they are openly taking place in Kerala and Bengal today. Tomorrow, it may happen here as well. If we wish to stop this, if we want to protect our religious faith from corruption, then from now on, only buy from those who hold the Om Certificate.”
