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
Arjun Sampath’s devotion towards SachchidanandaParabrahman Dr Athavale
Opponents have attempted to kill Mr Sampath several times. In 2016, his car was set on fire. Recalling these incidents, Mr Sampath said, “By the grace of SachchidanandaParabrahmanDr Athavale, I have been able to survive many difficult situations. Once, terrorists threw a petrol bomb at my house. It was only by the grace of Sachchidananda Parabrahman that we were saved. With Gurudev’s blessings and grace, I continue to work for Hindu Dharma.”
1. Introduction
Mr Arjun Sampath was born on April 20th, 1965. He grew up in the village of Periyagoundanur near Pollachi in Coimbatore District. In his childhood, he attended several public meetings of Periyar (an atheist and anti-Hindu leader) and K. Kamaraj with his father. His father was a follower of Periyar. It is remarkable that a Hindu nationalist leader emerged from such a family. Due to financial constraints, he had to drop out of school after 12th grade in 1982. He worked as a sales representative in a private company and later worked in his father’s barbershop. During this time, he started the ‘Little Flower Welfare Centre’ in his village, helping children with extracurricular activities, sports etc. He also organized debates, competitions, and various events.
Blessings of Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Athavale
In the last 10 years, 127 Hindu leaders have been killed by Jihadis in Tamil Nadu. Mr Arjun Sampath is leading the ‘hitlist’ of theJihadis and, despite receiving constant death threats from them, he continues to fight against Islamic extremists, atheists, and missionaries in Tamil Nadu like a ‘one man army’. Today, struggle is the only hope for the Hindu community. Mr Sampath bravely leads this struggle for the Hindu community in Tamil Nadu. If more warriors like Arjun Sampath are born in Tamil Nadu and also across other IndianStates, the establishment of a Hindu Rashtra will soon be a reality!
2. Participation in activities protecting Hindu Dharma
In 1981, thousands of Dalits in Meenakshipuram, Tamil Nadu, converted to Islam. At that time, Mr Sampath was only 16 years old. This incident made him realize the lack of Hindu identity, and he understood the importance of organizations dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Hindu Dharma.
From the mid-1980s to 1993, as a member of the RSS, Mr Sampath actively participated in various national movements. These included the Ram Janmabhoomi Movement, the movement to free Hindu temples from Government control, and campaigns to bring Hindus, who had converted to other religions, back to Hindu Dharma.
3. Work to protect Hindu Dharma in anti-Hindu Tamil Nadu State
A. Tamil Nadu has always had State Governments that were against the country, Dharma, and Brahmins. Currently, leaders of Dravidian parties, such as the ruling DMK, are speaking of eradicating Sanatan Dharma. In such a State, Mr Arjun Sampath is the leading figure in Tamil Nadu’s Hindu nationalist movement. He has raised his voice against the covering of the Bharat Mata statue in Kanyakumari, attacks on Hindu beliefs, and other similar issues. He and his party, Hindu Makkal Katchi, have also raised their voice against controversial issues such as the construction of St. Thomas Church at the original site of Shri Kapaleeswarar Temple in Chennai, the Godman web series on Zee TV, and the incident of throwing pork in the temples in Coimbatore.
B. Cow Protection: Mr Sampath has consistently raised his voice for a nationwide beef ban. In the current year, as political parties and organizations were promoting beef consumption, he countered with a warning to distribute pork.
C. Hindu Unity: In Tamil Nadu, some political parties are constantly trying to create divisions among Hindus by propagating Aryan and non-Aryan conflicts. Mr Sampath works to raise awareness against these efforts. A false notion that ‘Tamils and Hindus are different’ is being spread, and he fights against this by uniting Hindus.Mr Sampath is working to protect Hindu Dharma in such an anti-Hindu environment. Hindus not only in Tamil Nadu but also in countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore and others consider Mr Sampath as a strong supportin the times of crisis.
D. Efforts to bring converted Hindus back: The Hindu population in Tamil Nadu is decreasing while the Muslim population is increasing. In certain Districts like Kanyakumari, where the majority are Christians, churches wield considerable power. In 2015, his Hindu Makkal Katchi party initiated the first ‘gharwapasi’ Campaign (bringing back converted Hindus to their original religion). This initiative successfully brought back 18 Dalits to Hindu Dharma. To date, they have brought over 8,000 people back to Hindu Dharma from Christianity and Islam.
Mr Sampath’s ‘Hindu Makkal Katchi’ party had organised a ‘gharwapasi’ programme for 108 people at the Triplicane temple. The Tamil Nadu Government used pressure to stop the programme and forcibly sent back many willing candidates, and also placed Mr Sampath under house arrest in his Chennai home. Even after that, he tried to complete the programme.
4. Leadership of the Tamil Nadu Branch of the ‘Rashtriya Ekta Yatra’
From December 1991 to January 1992, a Rashtriya Ekta Yatra was organized from Kanyakumari to Srinagar. Mr Sampath led the Tamil Nadu division of this yatra.
5. Opposition to atrocities on Tamil Hindus in Sri Lanka
Mr Sampath has always felt that the atrocities on Tamil-speaking people in Sri Lanka should not be viewed only as attacks on Tamil people, but as atrocities on Hindus in Sri Lanka. His Hindu Makkal Katchi party has strongly opposed these atrocities.
6. Opposition to atrocities on Hindus in Murshidabad, Bengal
In Murshidabad, West Bengal, Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators killed six Hindus under the guise of protests against the Waqf Amendment Bill, looting their properties. The Hindu Makkal Katchi recently demanded immediate action from the BJP Government at the Centre against this violence.
Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress workers also cooperated with the rioters. ‘Hindu Makkal Katchi’ recently demanded that the BJP Government at the Centre take immediate action against this.
7. Positive impact of Arjun Sampath’s individual and collective spiritual practice on his work
With the blessings of Saints and spiritual leaders of Tamil Nadu, Shiva devotee Mr Arjun Sampath, who works selflessly for Hindu Dharma and society, wears ‘bhasma’ on his forehead every day. He is working to protect Hindu Dharma in adverse conditions and also practices Dharma himself. Due to his individual and collective spiritual practice, his speech has become Divine. This has a positive impact on his followers, and hence they are motivated to work for Dharma. After an ‘All India Hindu Rashtra Convention’ in Goa, where Mr Sampath was present, he demanded a ‘Skype satsang’ to receive guidance to begin spiritual practice. After that, the first ‘Skype satsang’ was held in the presence of the members of ‘Hindu Makkal Katchi’. Since his work has the Divine support, he is able to efficiently work for Hindu unity and Hindu awareness.
