Hindus think of universal benevolence, whereas Muslims think of destroying Hindus : Shankaracharya Nishchalanand Saraswati

Raipur (Chhattisgarh) – Those who pose danger to Hindus, those who call Hindus ‘Kafir’, are in fact calling their own ancestors ‘Kafir’, because ancestors of all Indians are Sanatan Vaidik Arya Hindus. We think of universal benevolence, but Muslims think of destroying Hindus, stated Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Nishchalanand Saraswati of Purvamnay Govardhan Peeth in Puri (Odisha), in a programme here. Shankaracharya Nishchalanand Saraswati talked on various topics then.

Shankaracharya said,

Young people should be connected with Dharma and Spirituality

Currently, the youth have deviated from the Sanatan tradition. Education on Dharma and Spirituality must be made available to them along with education based on Science. That will awaken them and that will become the power of our nation. That will also contribute to protecting the nation and establishing the Hindu Nation. That will benefit all sects also because we desire universal benevolence.

Every family should impart education as per the Sanatan sanskruti

Our Sanatan system is based on scientific principles. Society forms based on culture and education, ethics and thoughts as well as actions. Only then a Ramrajya will form. No Government can ever achieve this. Every family should educate their children as per Sanatan sanskruti. Then only a conducive environment will develop and that will be the Hindu Nation. It will boost with spiritual energy. Youth power will play a very important role. Currently, the youth power is directionless and in a depressed state.

Hindu Nation will be universal

When asked, will there be Muslims in Hindu Rashtra ?, Shankaracharya replied that the Hindu Nation will welcome any sect and caste contributing towards making a cultured and secure society.

Political parties feel that they should be allowed to run Dharmasansad

The then President of Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) Ashok Singhal had come to me 70 times at least regarding Dharmasansad. He established it but BJP, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party feel that they should manage the Dharmasansad.

Since it is controversial, speaking about ‘hijab’ will not be appropriate

When asked about ‘hijab’, he said that I will explain the state to leaders if they approach me. Even the Supreme Court will not refuse my views. Presently, the issue is controversial, it will not be appropriate on my part to express my views at this juncture. That might give rise to more conflict. Therefore, let me understand the whole situation first.
