JAMMU, Apr 17: The nine day long ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Katha’, organized at Patanjali University by Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar concluded here today.
The Katha was organised on the occasion of the 30th ‘Sannyas Diwas’ of Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, in the new premises of ‘Patanjali Gurukulam’, under the auspices of Govind Dev Giri Ji Maharaj.
On the concluding day, Govind Dev Giri Ji Maharaj said that after the slavery of more than 1000 years, Shiva Ji was the first Hindu ruler who enlightened the people of this country and dreamed about the Akhand Bharata.
He highlighted the secular ideology of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and said that he never demolished anyone’s place of worship, but rather transformed temples into prayer sites.
He emphasized the importance of historical evidence showcasing Shivaji Maharaj’s reinstatement of two temples in Tiruvannamalai.
“The essence lies in the fact that when the sentiments of many individuals intensify, our collective consciousness also awakens automatically. If these sentiments are intense, our collective emotions will be heightened, just as the Vedas elevate spiritual consciousness,” he added.
Speaking on the occasion, Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev emphasized that while the movement for political independence has been completed, it is now time for the movement for medical freedom.
“The global recognition of Patanjali Wellness, Yogagram, Niramyam, and Patanjali Yoga Peeth will elevate the prestige of Maharishi Charak and Maharishi Sushruta not only in India but globally,” he said.
“In addition there is a significant movement for educational freedom. The British enacted laws in a haphazard manner, which the country is now paying for. Some have been amended, but some amendments are still pending. It is now time to repeal the Indian Education Act of 1835, which will be accomplished through the Indian Education Board, Patanjali University, Patanjali Ayurved College, Patanjali Gurukulam, and Acharyakulam,” he added.
Earlier, the students of Patanjali University presented a dance item based on the life history of great Maratha ruler, Shiva Ji Maharaj.
Among others who were present during the event included, P N Singh, Prof Mahavir Aggarwal, Acharya Dev Priya, Dr Ritambra, Anshul, Rakesh, Brig. T C Malhotra, Aradhana Koul, Prof K N Yadav, Swami Arshdev and staff members of Patanjali Yogpeeth.
