Constitution of a Sanatan Board by the centre government for the temples and Mathus is the pressing need and necessity to safeguard and protect them .This is the demand of the whole Hindu society and the government of India should recognize and appreciate the necessity of a Sanatan Board and constitute it to satisfy the aspirations of Hindu’s .At the outset it is in the fitness of things to mention that it is the brain child of the famous Kathavachak and Hindu thinker and saint Devakinandan Thakur who proposed this noble and needed idea and proposal .He made painstaking efforts and was successful in holding and organizing a Virat Hindu Sansad in New Delhi on 16th and 17th November in which all the saints and seers of Hindu religion participated and discussed the novel and noble as well as needed proposal and idea of a Sanatan Board and impressed upon the Modi government to constitute a Sanatan Board at the earliest to satisfy the aspiration and demand of Hindu Sarva Samaj and the centre government should appreciate and accept this pressing need and demand of the Hindu community and set up the Sanatan Board. Hundreds of Hindu dharma gurus, saints, seers and Hindu thinkers and even political leaders took part in Dharam Sansad as first being Hindu’s and participated in the Virat Hindu Sammalen perhaps first of its Kind in the recent history. Some saints called it the Kumb before the Maha Kumb Mela at Prayaj Raj and in fact there is no exaggeration in this .The august participants deliberated, discussed and threw threadbare light on the proposal of Devakenandan Thakur of having a Sanatan Board for temples and Muths in the country and all the participants agreed in one voice for the need of a Sanatan Board and impressed upon the centre government to accept this genuine and pressing need of the Hindu Samaj and so constitute a Sanatan Board to safeguard Hindu temples and Muths .It has also being necessitated by the illogical ,untenable and false claims of the Muslim waqf board that many temples had been constructed on the lands of the Waqf board .It is the height of falsity that waqf board has also made the claim that centre parliament ,railways and even Adani’s business infrastructure had been constructed on the Waqf lands .A Hindu saint has truly said while addressing the religious parliament that if the mosques in the country will be demolished, the signs of Hindu temples will come as evidence that all mosques had been build on temple lands .But it is very surprising that under a well planned manner waqf board is staking claims on the lands beneath Hindu temples and it is sheer falsity and needs to be countered strongly and legally .Therefore to counter the Waqf boards illogical and unreasonable claims on the land beneath the temples ,there is urgent need for a Sanatan board on the lines of Waqf board .Centre government should take steps in the direction of constituting the Sanatan board so that the demand of Hindu community is fulfilled .Kathavachak Devakenandan Thakur &great orator called and organized Sanatan Dharam Sansad in New Delhi’s Burandi .The main plank and the reason for holding this Samalan is to press the centre government to constitute Sanatan Board in the country .Besides this significant issue ,love Jehad ,total ban on cow slaughter and liberation of Krishana Janamboomi Mathura were also discussed and deliberated in the religious parliament as these issues also formed the place in the agenda of the Hindu gathering in New Delhi .All big leaders of political parties including Malliuk Arjan Kharge ,Rahul Gandhi ,J.P,Nadda ,Akliesh Yadav etc were also invited to Virat Dharam Sansad .Devekenandan is demanding the constitution of Sanatan Board and all saints, seers and other Hindu leaders supported this important demand and impressed and implored on the centre government to accept this demand of constituting a Sanatan Board .On this occasion Davekinandan said ,enough has been tolerated and now will not tolerate anymore .We will seek and will stop only after getting our right .Now we will not be divided and will not be perished .He roared whosoever will plan to kill ,my dear I will see! While addressing the august and big gathering he said to them to say in high tune so that those in power will hear us .He further said if Sanatan board is constituted, our kulguru tradition which has been destroyed ,will be revived again .Our mata cow which is suffering much ,for them Gowshallas will be established to cater to their needs. Those who are converting because of abject poverty , will be brought to their original religion back with through the medium of Sanatan Board .Devekinandan Thakur said ,in our Mathura, Krishna is still under the ladder of Jamia Masjid .God worshippers please tell has your conscience died? If your conscience is alive ,then Kanaiya has to be taken from the Ladder of the Jamia Masjid and a grand temple has to be built in Mathura .When Devekinandan was addressing ,there was much enthusiasm in the audience .People cheered loudly on the demand of Sanatan board .In this congregation ,there were several big leaders from Hindu religion .Jaght Guru Shankaracharys Sadanand Sarwati was the chief guest of the grand event. Raju Das of Hanuman Garhi Ayodhya and Pradeep Mishra among others also attended the event..The issue of animal fat in Tirupati Balaji temples Prasad is a big issue .We demand a Sanatan board so that such incident does not happen again .Through the grand event ,a demand for the formation of the Sanatan Board was raised in a unified voice .Saints from 13 akharas participated in the event along with others including ,Dr Ram Vilas Vedanti also participated in the Virat Hindu Sansad. Besides hundreds of learned saints also took part in the programme .Before Dharam Sansad, a Sanatan Yatra was organized and in it Devkenandan said all believers in Sanatan religion should come forward to get the Sanatan Board constituted by the government ,besides addressing and demanding other agenda items of the religious parliament. On the aegis of Sanatan Nayas foundation and its auspices in connection with the organizing of Sanatan Dharam Sansad, a Sanatan Yatra was also held before the religious parliament .The foundation’s president has appealed all Sanatanis to remain united .Sadavi Rithambra started Sanatan Yatra with the slogans of Sanatan Dhram ki Jai and said that the Sanatan Board is the need of the present day .Then followed the Sanatan dharma Sansad which was attended by saints from Haridwar ,Rishikesh ,Mathura and Viindavan among others. Thousands of Hindus also attended the historical event.
He said, “I am giving you a mantra of now or never.”
He added, “Hindu’s should not be reduced in number rather it should keep increasing.” He also raised the voice for Krishan Janamboomi. He added that Hindu girls should be married only in Hindu religion. Speaking about further action, Devkinandan Thakur announced that the next Dhram Sansad will be held in Uttrakhand’s Haridwar.
In brief the main aim and objective of this historical religious gathering of Hindu saints ,seers and intelligentsia is that the centre government should constitute a Sanatan Board to protects their religious rights and their temples and Muths.
