Ranchi (Jharkhand) – Hindus have never converted others, nor have they invaded any land, because such conduct is not part of their culture. However, it is the foremost duty of every Hindu to safeguard their culture whenever attempts are made to destroy Sanatan Dharma. The Sanatan Rashtra Shankhnad Mahotsav is being organised for the establishment of Sanatan Rashtra. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given the message of protecting Sanatan culture by hoisting the Dharma-dhwaj over the temple of Prabhu Shriram in Ayodhya. Hindus should now participate in the Sanatan Rashtra Shankhnad Mahotsav and prepare for establishing Sanatan Rashtra, appealed the Union Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth.

Innumerable individuals have protected Sanatan Dharma since the eras of Ramayan and Mahabharat – Sanjay Seth
Mr Sanjay Seth further stated that countless individuals have contributed to the protection of Sanatan Dharma since ancient times. Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Birsa Munda and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose thwarted attacks on Sanatan Rashtra. Hindus must now prepare for establishing Hindu Rashtra, inspired by the sacrifices of these great warriors.

A Mahotsav that will inspire service to Dharma and the nation – Shambhu Gaware

Mr Shambhu Gaware, HJS coordinator for the East and North-East States, stated that Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Jayant Balaji Athavale has taken a sacred resolve to establish an ideal Sanatan Rashtra resembling Rama-Rajya. Just as Bhagwan Shrikrushna sounded His conch before the Mahabharat battle, the Shankhnad Mahotsav will awaken the inner power of devout people and inspire them to serve Dharma and the nation.
The event will feature discussions on Sanatan culture, socio-cultural issues, terrorism and naxalism, and national defence policy, with participation from experts in each field. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s Bhavani Talwar will be displayed for the first time in the exhibition. Demonstrations of traditional war strategies will also be an important attraction.

All devout Hindu organisations should show unity – Chandrakant Raipat, VHP Jharkhand President

Mr Chandrakant Raipat said that there is a need to awaken the Sanatan community. The awakening of Hindus has already begun. The oath to build the Shriram Mandir has been fulfilled and the Dharma-dhvaj has been hoisted. VHP and RSS will participate in the Mahotsav. All Hindus must join the Sanatan Rashtra Shankhnad Mahotsav by rising above differences. Devout Hindus from across the nation will attend, and all Hindu organisations should demonstrate unity in this historic event.

A global message of protecting Sanatan culture – Dr Renuka Tiwari

Dr Renuka Tiwari, chairperson of Ranchi Citizen Forum, said that the nation will face further division if Hindus do not unite now. Considering the attacks on Hindu Dharma, Hindus can remain safe only through unity. The Sanatan Rashtra Shankhnad Mahotsav will bring Hindus together and convey a global message for protecting Sanatan culture.
