ABU DHABI: The Spiritual Heirs to Sanatan Sanstha’s founder Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Jayant Athavale attended the inauguration ceremony of the B.A.P.S. Temple in Abu Dhabi. The presence of a Hindu temple in an Islamic country marks the inception of a global Hindu nation, according to Shrisatshakti (Sou.) Binda Singbal of the Sanatan Sanstha. She emphasized this sentiment during her remarks following the inauguration of the temple in Abu Dhabi, highlighting the recent construction of the Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya, India, and the global attention it garnered during the consecration (pranpratishtha) ceremony of Shri Ramlalla.

Shrichitshakti (Sou.) Anjali Gadgil reflected on the historical challenges faced by Hindu temples in India, recounting instances of attacks and destruction over the past centuries. However, she expressed optimism about the current scenario where legal efforts are succeeding in reclaiming and preserving these sacred sites. She emphasized that not only are temples standing strong in India, but the construction of Hindu temples in Islamic countries is also underway. She saw this as a testament to the enduring greatness of Hinduism, spreading its influence globally. Shrichitshakti (Sou.) Anjali Gadgil viewed this as a cyclical process, unstoppable by external forces, and interpreted it as a sign of India’s journey towards becoming a world leader or “World Guru (Vishwa Guru)”.
