Rajni Sethi calls for strict action against unholy activities in Katra
Sanatan Dharma, the eternal and most pious way of life, forms the foundation of Hindu Dharma, which has been followed for thousands of years in India. It is not just a religion but a way of life that teaches righteousness (Dharma), devotion (Bhakti), and self-discipline. We, as Hindus, take immense pride in our customs, beliefs, and sacred places, never compromising on our faith under any circumstances. One of the holiest regions in India, Jammu and Kashmir, is known as the “City of Temples” (Mandiro ka Shehar) due to its vast number of revered shrines.
Some of the most famous temples in this region include Kheer Bhawani, Shankaracharya Temple, Bawey Wali Mata, Raghunath Mandir, and the world-renowned Mata Vaishno Devi Mandir in Katra. Every year, crores of devotees from across the country and even abroad visit these sacred places, seeking blessings and fulfilling their wishes. The holy town of Katra, being the gateway to Mata Vaishno Devi, holds immense spiritual significance. Devotees visiting this town observe strict religious discipline, refraining from consuming alcohol and non-vegetarian food, as these are strictly prohibited in this sacred region.
However, it is deeply shameful and disheartening to witness certain individuals disrespecting the sanctity of this holy place for mere publicity. Recently, a YouTube influencer, was seen indulging in unlawful activities in a hotel room in Katra. Consuming alcohol and non-vegetarian food in a place where such actions are strictly banned is not just an act of defiance but a direct insult to the religious sentiments of millions of Hindus. This disgraceful act highlights the moral degradation of some people who prioritize social media fame over respecting the religious and cultural values of a place.
The authorities must take strict action against every person, who is involved in the incident, ensuring that such incidents do not occur again in the future. It is the collective responsibility of every Hindu citizen to uphold the dignity of Sanatan Dharma and protect the sanctity of our religious places.
Moreover, this incident should serve as a wake-up call for the administration to implement stricter rules and regulations to prevent such shameful acts. The government must enforce strict laws and ensure that those who disrespect our religious beliefs face severe consequences. Setting an example through strict punishment will deter others from attempting to tarnish the purity of sacred places like Katra. Anti-Sanatan elements must understand that disrespecting Hindu Dharma will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
As devotees and followers of Sanatan Dharma, we must remain vigilant and report any such incidents to the authorities. Religious sanctity must always be preserved, and no individual, regardless of their social status, should be allowed to disrespect our faith. Protecting the purity of our temples and holy towns is not just the duty of the administration but also of every devotee who values their Dharma. Let this incident be a lesson for all, ensuring that no one dares to repeat such acts in the future.
