By Pradeep Namdeo,Bureau Head। On the auspicious fourth day of Navratri, 102 families were ceremonially welcomed back into the Sanatan Dharma during a Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Katha held at Galgaladih in Jaijaipur, Sakti district. The programme was organised under the joint aegis of Dharma Jagran Samanvay, Dharma Sena, Seva Nyay Utthan Foundation and Dilip Singh Judev Foundation.
Prabal Pratap Singh Judev, national convenor of the Ghar Wapsi campaign and State Vice President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Chhattisgarh, attended the programme as the chief guest. He personally washed the feet of the families and welcomed them back with respect.
Addressing a large gathering of women, Judev said that society needs to remain vigilant against activities related to religious conversion in Sakti district. He alleged that attempts to influence innocent people under the guise of service and change their religious and cultural identity are highly condemnable and amount to an attack on the roots of Sanatan culture.
Judev said, “Conversion carried out through inducements in the name of service is a betrayal of humanity, a deliberate attack on the faith of Sanatan Dharma and a conspiracy to erase our cultural identity. Sanatan is the soul of India, and any attack on its identity will not be accepted.”He further cautioned society against what he described as “pseudo-Hindus” and called for greater awareness and unity. He said that people must recognise such intentions and remain organised and vigilant to protect Sanatan traditions and values.Recalling the ideals and resolve of late Kumar Dilip Singh Judev, he said that being connected to one’s culture and roots is the true identity and strength of any society.“Sanatan is the soul of India, and protecting it is the responsibility of all of us. Preserving our culture, traditions and original faith is the foundation of our identity, strength and self-respect,” he said.Judev added that the Ghar Wapsi campaign would continue until the last person in society reconnects with their original faith and cultural roots.Recalling Maa Durga in her Mahishasuramardini form, Judev called upon women to unite and take a collective pledge to protect Sanatan Dharma, culture and social harmony, and to work towards making Sakti district free from religious conversion.

Acharya Rakesh of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad remembered Swami Shraddhanand, Swami Lakshmanananda, Ashok Singhal and late Kumar Dilip Singh Judev, saying that these personalities had dedicated their lives to the protection of Sanatan Dharma.He urged society to follow the path shown by these great personalities and remain committed to the preservation of religion and culture.Anju Gabel, Provincial Convenor of the Women’s Wing of Dharma Jagran Samanvay, called upon women to unite and take a pledge at the feet of Maa Bhagwati to make Sakti district free from religious conversion.
