BJP's appeal to all Dharma Gurus for support

In addition to freeing temples from the control of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Trust (HR&CE), The BJP has now promised to take the advice of Dharma Gurus. Following is a report.

New Delhi: Shri. Lal Krushna Advani, BJP's candidate for the post of Prime Minister has promised that a committee would be formed to solve problems faced by the country and advice of Dharmagurus and spiritual Gurus would be sought in this connection.

He has, however, tried to strike a balance by stating that there would be establishment of 'Rama-rajya' as envisaged by Mahatma Gandhi following the path of secularism.

Advani has written a letter to about 1000 Dharmagurus and spiritual organizations for obtaining support. He has also promised to make efforts towards spread of Hinduism all over the world.

BJP has come out with an independent election manifesto, after 11 years, different from that of National Democratic Front (NDF) to show its spirit of strong Hinduism. He has said that on behalf of the party, special promise is being given to religious organizations.

Advani has stated further that the country has always remained on right path owing to its righteous base and advice given by 'Dharma-Gurus' and 'Spiritual Gurus' in the time of need. Now also there is need for advice from spiritual Guru as there is depression everywhere in the present time of recession. United Progressive Front (UPA) has created an atmosphere of atheism during its regime but NDA, if elected, will bring together religious organizations of all faiths to spread nationalism and spirituality, says the letter. It has been assured that there would not be repetition of issue created due to withdrawal of the land donated for Amarnath pilgrims. Further, priority will be given to the protection of 'Ram-setu', purification of water of rivers including River Ganges.

The ban on cow-slaughter will be strictly implemented. Without referring to Missionary Organizations, it has been mentioned in the letter that there would be strict watch on the financial aid received from outside India by religious institutions. There would be stringent rules to prevent conversions using this aid.
