This Unique & Divine moment will be inscribed in Golden Letters in the History of Hindus 

Ponda, Goa (Sachchidananda Parabrahman [Dr] Athavale Nagari) – For devout Hindus who cherish the dream of establishing the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ in their hearts, Vaishakha Krushna Shashti (18th May 2025) became a historic day inscribed in golden letters. On this day, the Flag of Sanatan Dharma was hoisted by Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, the Propounder of ‘Hindu Rashtra’. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale’s Spiritual Heirs – Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Nilesh Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Mukul Gadgil also graced the occasion with their Holy presence.

A Flag represents the core identity of the Nation & Dharma. Therefore, witnessing the hoisting of the Flag of Sanatan Dharma was a profoundly gratifying moment for devout Hindus. Vaishakha Krushna Shashti also marks the Birth Anniversary of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale. It was indeed a Divine coincidence and a rare auspicious occasion to hoist the Flag of Sanatan Dharma on this very day.

It seemed as if the Flag of Sanatan Dharma fluttering proudly in the sky was proclaiming – ‘The dawn of Sanatan Dharma is now near, and the glory of this ‘Hindu Rashtra’ will resound in all the three worlds’.

Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Nilesh Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Mukul Gadgil performed Panchopachar puja (Ritualistic worship involving five steps – Offering Akshata, Dhoop, Deep, Pushpa and Naivedya) of the Flag of Sanatan Dharma before it was hoisted.

Arun Gurumurthy Shivacharya from Erode, Tamil Nadu, recited Vedic mantras while Sanatan’s seeker Mr Deep Patne blew the conch. Sanatan’s seeker Mr Vinayak Shanbhag explained the significance of the Flag.

As the Flag of Sanatan Dharma was being hoisted, the Sun was setting, and its saffron rays were emitting Chaitanya and Shakti across the sky.

At that moment, the sky took on a bluish hue, as if the Deities, Sages, and Gandharvas (Performers for Gods, skilled in Art, Music and Dance) were subtly present in Nature, showering flowers from above.

After the Flag hoisting Ceremony, Ms Tejal Patrikar, Mrs Sita Krak, Mrs Bhakti Kulkarni, Mr Girijay Prabhudesai, Mr Anil Samant and Mr Aniket Kadam from the Music Section of Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay sang the Kshatrageet (A song that inspires a warrior attitude) – ‘Sanatan Rashtra Dharmasurya Ubhara, Kshatraveeron Utho Chalo’. (A unique feature of this Kshatrageet – as well as others – is that it was composed by Sachchidananda Parabrahman [Dr] Athavale way back in the Year 2000, which once again proves His foresight and Divine vision.)

Such is this Divine and unique ‘Sanatan Dharmadhwaj’

In the battle of Mahabharat, the chariot carrying Shrikrushna and Arjun bore a Flag held by Deity Hanuman – this was the Flag of Sanatan Dharma. Deity Hanuman is saffron-hued, which is why the Flag of Sanatan Dharma is saffron as well. The Flag features an image of Kamadhenu (Divine wish-fulfilling cow) standing under the Kalpavruksha (Wish-fulfilling tree). Kalpavruksha and Kamadhenu are symbols of prosperity, nourishment, protection, and the blessing hand of Shri Vishnu.
