Agra (Uttar Pradesh) – The current political situation is in favour of declaring India a ‘Hindu Rashtra’. Even Rahul Gandhi is now calling himself a ‘Hindu’. He has declared himself to be a Brahmin wearing the ‘Janue’ (the sacred thread). Hence, India will become a Hindu Nation in the next 3 years, stated Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Nishchalanand Saraswati of Govardhan Pitha in Puri, Odisha while visiting a village called Nagla Bindu during his tour to Agra. He made the above statement while talking to devotees at the residence of BJP leader Harendra Singh. He also appealed that Hindus should work for the propagation of the Sanatan culture and tradition.
Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Nischalananda Saraswati’s views –
It is the age of science today, and Science is a gift of Sanatan Dharma. Even science cannot deny the importance of Vedas, Puranas etc.
The ancestors of all the people living in India were Hindus. They were enriched by Sanatan Dharma. Those who have converted should be reverted to Hinduism by reminding them about their past.
40% of the population in the country speaks Hindi. Hindi also includes Sanskrit. Hindi versions of Vedas and Puranas properly convey the principles of Sanatan Dharma. Due to this, the Hindi language also needs to be propagated.
Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale’s foresight
Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale had said 25 years ago that Hindu Rashtra will be established in India in 2023. That is what Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Nischalananda Saraswati is saying now. This reflects Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale’s foresightedness. It won’t be a surprise if all the Saints and Shankaracharyas in the future also start saying this and unitedly work to achieve it.
