A Hindu Sammelan was held at the Kilkila Shiva Mandir in Pathalgaon, Jashpur, Chhattisgarh, where hundreds of people from 50 families embraced Hinduism after returning home. The Sammelan was organised under the leadership of Prabal Pratap Singh Judev, senior Hindu leader.
The sammelan was organised in Pathalgaon’s religious town of Kilkileshwar Dham under the joint aegis of the regional Arya Samaj, Kilkileshwar Dham Trust, Gayatri Parivar, Sant Gahira Samaj, Alekh Mahima, Dharma Jagran Coordination Chhattisgarh, Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal. A sant sammelan and a vishwa kalyan (world welfare) yajna were organised to commemorate the 96th martyrdom day of Swami Shraddhanand Saraswati. A large number of Hindus, including Mata Pujari, Janiya, Guniya, Baiga, and village sants, participated in the event, along with those from the Bhajan-Kirtan groups. During this occasion, Prabal Pratap Singh Judev worshipped Bhagwan Shiva in Kilkila Mandir. After that, he received blessings from the temple’s Shri Shri 1008 Kapildas Muni Baba. At the same time, after the purification yajna in the Hindu sammelan, Prabal Pratap Singh Judev washed the feet of hundreds of people with Gangajal and brought them back to Hindu Dharma.
Muni Baba commended Prabal Pratap Singh Judev for taking the command of the Ghar Wapsi campaign started by late Dilip Singh Judev and carrying it forward with great devotion and intensity. Prabal Pratap Singh Judev thanked everyone for participating in the nation-building effort. He promised not to rest until all the lost Hindus are brought back home. He said that if Swami Shraddhanand had not been there, conversions would have occurred throughout Bharat, but he dedicated his life and remained committed to uniting Hindus. Judev said, “Hindutva is not a symbol of caste, but of patriotism. History bears witness that wherever Hindus decline, the country is divided. Therefore, saving Hindus is a greater task than building temples, because only Hindus will build Mandirs.”
