Digamber Jain Mandir Patiala - Rath Yatra on Anant Chaturdashi
Miraj (Maharashtra): Muslims objecting to arches depicting scenes of Afzal Khans killings, broke Ganesha Idols. In addition, there were infuriating incidents of throwing beef near the Maruti Mandir and the Jain Mandir. This was followed with the breaking of vehicles owned by Hindus and attacking Hindus with swords. In retaliation, the Hindus too became aggressive. On the third day after the riots, the Hindus tried to take out a rally but Police lathi charged innocent Hindus. On the following day of Anant Chaturdashi, the Ganesha Committees were firm on their decision to immerse the Idols only after re-erection of the arch depicting the scene of the slaying of Afzal Khan. Miraj was still seething on the third day, under the cudgels of the Idol-breaking Muslims and the objection they have raised about the history of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The Hindu women, who were on their way to submit a representation in a lawful manner, were lathi charged by the Police in Shrikant Chowk. source: hindujanjagruti ------------------------- vhpsampark.org -------------------------
Ganapati Bappa Moriya!|| गनपति बप्पा मोरिया || || Satyameva Jayate || Dedicated to Bharat and Dharma Today is Ganesh Chaturthi - birthday of BhagwAn Shri Ganesh (celebrated on the 4th day of Bhadrapada - usually Aug/Sept in Julian calendar). Ganesh-ji is widely revered as the remover of obstacles (VidhnhartA) and is usually invoked when beginning something new (I usually begin my day with the VakratunDa MahAkAya shloka). Ganesh Chaturthi is (one of the) most popular (festivals) in Maharashtra and heralds 10days of celebrations that end with the Visarjan on Anant Chaturdashi (or Anant Chaudas). As many of you would know, the public celebration of Ganesh Utsav (SArvajanik Ganeshotsav) is an important chapter in the freedom movement of India. This festival was started by Lokmanya Tilak in 1894 when when Tilak himself placed an idol of Ganesh-ji in Vinchurkar Wada in Maharashtra. Tilak transformed the birth anniversary from a private, family affair into an occassion to bring people together against the opressive British Raj. Because of Ganesh-jis widespread appeal amongst the masses, the celebrations proved to be very useful in breaking bariers within Hindu society at that time. Let us not forget this motivation of Lokmanya Tilak as we celebrate the day today. On the auspicious occassion of Ganesh Chaturthi, let us take a vow to treat all Hindus as equals and work towards strengthening the ties that bring us together. May Bhagwaan Shree Ganesha shower his ...
