New Delhi, Oct 15: The week-long Chaturveda Swahakar Mahayagya organized at Lakshmi-Narayan Mandir (Birla Temple), jointly by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Ashok Singhal Foundation and Jhandewalan Devi Mandir concluded on Monday.
The six-day event witnessed massive participation of devout people, leaders of various organizations and communities that believed in universal knowledge of the Vedas and religious men and women from various parts of the country and also from abroad.
The management of this Mahayagya was in hands of Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Swami Ramanujacharya Jiyar Chinna Swami and his 61 ‘Vedapathis’ who managed the entire six-day activities of the Mahayagya and explained to the devotes the process and intention of doing this yagya. They offered oblations in the ‘yagya kundas’ with flawlessly chanting the Vedic Mantras.
RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohanrao Bhagwat participated in this event. He underlined the revival of Vedic knowledge for the welfare of the world. He said that though we Indian have close relations with the Vedas, we seldom try to know the real meaning of them.
Sarsanghchalak further said that internal knowledge is must to safeguard the material science we have acquired in the present era. In absence of this internal or spiritual knowledge disasters are bound to happen. Therefore, we need to revive this Vedic Knowledge again with our efforts because revival of the Vedas is must not only for the Hindus but for the entire humanity. This is not confined to just ways of worship but it is aimed at welfare of the entire universe and we all should dedicate ourselves for this mission, he added.
RSS Sarkaryawah Suresh alias Bhayyaji Joshi said that we are here to distribute the treasure of knowledge contained in the Vedas to the entire world and humanity. It has been the tradition of our country that since the hoary past we only offered something to the world. India has been the country that distributed knowledge to the entire humanity and all those who think positively bow to this treasure of knowledge possessed by India.
He said that we are happy with this treasure of knowledge and if we were to continue this tradition of giving we need to increase our capability and capacity to give. That society which follows high life values is capable of giving to others.

Describing this yagya as a historic event, Dinesh Chandra said that this will go down in the annals of the history as an event heralding social harmony, and scientific tradition in the society and entire world. If we save our culture today our progeny and future will become more secure and safe.
