Gurupornima festival celebrated at Sanpada

By Dinesh Kamath

NAVI MUMBAI: Gurupornima festival, organised by Sanatan Sanstha, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and other spiritual organisations was celebrated in the environment full of bhava and Chaitanya at Chemist Bhavan, Sanpada. In this function, gratitude was expressed towards Guru and a spark was lit to create awakening about the Nation and Dharma. This festival was celebrated with full of enthusiasm at 60 places across the nation in various languages. About 290 Hindus were benefited by attending the festival at Sanpada.

The programme started with the worship of Shri Vyas and photograph of H.H. Bhaktaraj Maharaj. It was followed by introduction to the unique mission carried out by Paratpar Guru Dr. Jayant Balaji Athavae, followed by the guidance of devout Hindu Adv. Sanjiv Punalekar, National Secretary of Hindu Vidhidnya Parishad and Mr Arvind Pansare, Maharashtra Spokesperson of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti.

Adv. Sanjiv Punalekar, speaking on the topic 'Tradition of Guru-disciple and Hindu Nation' said, 'We have to fight the battle for the establishment of the Hindu Nation only through the medium of sadhana. Therefore, it is necessary to perform sadhana, meaning, devotion to God. Number of seekers of Sanatan Sanstha may be less. However, they are fighting war of Dharma with perseverance. This is possible due to grace of Guru. We imbibe internal strength by performing sadhana. Guru has chosen us for the great mission of the establishment of the Hindu Nation. Be sure, He will take us up to the goal.' 

Mr Arvind Pansare, speaking on the topic 'Establishment of the 'Hindu Nation', based on Dharma and direction of this mission' said, 'Whenever Dharma faces languor, the tradition of Guru-disciple eliminates this languor and carries out important mission to rejuvenate Dharma. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj successfully established Hindavi Swaraj with the blessings of his Guru Samarth Ramdas Swami. Similarly, Swami Vivekanand propagated Hindu Dharma throughout the world as per the orders of his Guru Shri Ramkrushna Paramahansa. Presently, incidents of inappropriate conduct in the name of Dharma are on the rise. In such an adverse situation, it has become inevitable for the tradition of Guru-disciple to take up the mission to re-establish Dharma. It is essential to replace scamster rulers with devout and patriot persons. Therefore, there is no other alternative than to establish a governing system based on Dharma.'

On this occasion, few devout Hindus contributing towards the service to the Nation and Dharma were felicitated. Two CDs on 'Greatness of Hindu Dharma' and 'Necessity of Hindu TV channel' were also exhibited in the function.
