EXCLUSIVE/ Bharat Never Waged A War, It Only Relatilated In Self-Defence: Shri Vidhushekhar Bharati Mahaswamij

New Delhi: Dakshinamaya Sringeri Shardapeethadheeshwar Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Vidhushekhar Bharati Mahaswamiji spoke a length with Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami over the ongoing attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.

Shri Vidhushekhar Bharati Mahaswamiji, during his interaction, said that the government must think of resolving the issue of attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh by coming up with concrete steps and should ensure the safety of Hindus living abroad.

He asserted the need that all Hindus across the globe should unite for the protection of themselves and Sanatan Dharm. He said, “Bharat has never attacked any country for its selfishness. It has always waged a war for its self-defence. We have always promoted peace and preached about religion.”

Regarding Sanatan Dharma as the "Shrestha dharma" (supreme duty) in the world, Mahaswamiji emphasised the importance of rising above self-interest and remaining concerned about the welfare of others.

He added that it was crucial for all Hindu organisations, both in India and globally, to take proactive steps for the self-protection and welfare of Sanatanis (followers of Sanatana Dharma). The government should also prioritise the welfare of Sanatanis, especially during challenging times. The current need of the hour is to stay vigilant and united in protecting Sanatana Dharma. As long as we remain united, no one can harm us."
