Bangkok (Thailand) – “We have experienced ‘Dhana Vijay’ and ‘Asur Vijay’. To acquire possession of all means of material happiness, people try to fight and dominate each other. We have experienced this; the second is ‘Dhana Vijay’- to acquire all means of material happiness, but the intention is not good; the intention is self-centred. We have experienced ‘Asur Vijay’- they committed aggression on other societies, they have ruled for 5,200 years, and reaped destruction and havoc in our land. We have experienced ‘Dhana Vijay’ for over 250 years, India was looted. We Hindus believe in ‘Dharma Vijay’ , the Vijay that stands on Dharma, the process that depends on “Dharma Niyams” (Dharma Rules) and the resultant is also Dharma that is the duty”, such guidance was given by H.H. Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohanji Bhagwat. He was speaking at the inaugural session of the third ‘World Hindu Congress’ which started here from 24th November.
Every 4 years this conference is organised by ‘World Hindu Foundation’. The conference will culminate on 26th November. Saints, Hindu intellectuals, heads of organisations and officials from all over the world have participated in this. Sarsanghchalak further said that, “according to our Dharma the world is like a family. We will make everybody ‘Arya’, i.e., ‘one culture’. All Sampradayas in Bharat need to be purified to follow discipline. There may be some differences in the Hindu traditions; but those traditions show the best examples of Dharma”.

India will show the path of achieving happiness and satisfaction
After Corona pandemic, the world has accepted that India will show the path of achieving happiness and satisfaction and also started thinking about it. Today’s world is now stumbling. For 2,000 years they have performed so many experiments to bring happiness, bliss and peace. They have tried materialism, communism and capitalism. They have tried various religions. They have assumed material prosperity. But there is no satisfaction… It seems they are unanimous in thinking that Bharat will provide the way.
Let’s practice Dharma to gain the glory of Sanatan Dharma – H.H. Mata Amritanandamayi
On this occasion, while addressing the devout Hindus from all over the world, H.H. Mata Amritanandamayi said, “Every atom in the universe has the sattvik power of the Vedas, Puranas and Stotras composed by our great sages. The world should prosper with the peace, love and prosperity gained by following our Dharma. Everything in this world is a gift from God. Let’s practice Dharma to gain the glory of Sanatan Dharma”.

Hindus do not have a global voice and communication network – Bodhinatha Veylanswami
Bodhinatha Veylanswami, the editor of the famous American magazine ‘Hinduism Today’, said, “Hindus do not have a global voice and communication network. Hindus all over the world are deprived of what is happening in other parts of the world. ‘Hinduism Today’ magazine is a medium to connect Hindus around the world. Magazines in India focus on the philosophy, principles and lineage of their gurus.
Swamiji added that our magazine provides information in apolitical and contemporary style. It has become the voice of Hindu culture, men and women and youth. The main objective of this magazine is to be the voice of the world and provide a network for the Sanatan Dharma followers who believe in reincarnation, karma and duty. This magazine disseminates the highest knowledge in the Vedas, Puranas and Stotras.
