New Delhi: In a bid to ward off “shadyantrakari shaktiyaan” (conspiring forces) who are trying to harm the nation’s interests and possibly to seek ‘divine intervention’ for his party for the forthcoming electoral battles in key states, BJP MP, Maheish Girri along with Shri Yogini Peetham, is all set to organise an eight-day long ‘Rashtra Raksha Mahayagya’ from March 18. The event, at the Red Fort Maidan, will have 108 yagya kunds, prepared from the soil and water from India’s Line of Control areas, including Wagah, Poonch, Doklam and also Char Dhams (four holy sites of Hindus), and will have 1,111 Brahmins chanting 2.25 crore Vedic mantras “energising the entire nation with positive aura.”
Invitations for this “dharmic (religious)” event, where “worship of the Vedas and the nation will be done in the same breath,” will also be sent to President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu and Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
“There are external and internal forces who are attempting to harm the country’s interests. We are organising the yagya (ceremonial fire) following our ancient traditions to thwart such attempts and to take a pledge to create a new India,” said Mr Girri adding that the main deity that will be invoked, among others, is considered as a “slayer of evil forces” in the Indian mythology. For the yagya, a Rath yatra will be flagged off to collect a spoonful of ghee (clarified butter) from each and every household across the country. The venue or the temporary vedic village will have statues of Gods and Goddesses and scenes depicting events from various mythologies.
Mr Girri said the Mahayagya will be a “sanskritic mahotsav” celebrating Indian culture. The event will also see participants taking vows against casteism, communalism, corruption among others.
