Speaking to the crowd, Baba Ramdev said that the world has around 950 crore people, and out of them, nearly 550 crore people follow Sanatan Dharma in some form. According to him, the influence of Sanatan culture is only growing and he believes the day is not far when every country in the world will have at least one Shiva temple.
In the event, he thanked the police and district administration for handling the arrangements with immense dedication. He also expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Hemant Soren for granting permission for the event on the occasion of Jharkhand’s Statehood Day.
During his speech, Baba Ramdev once again appealed to people to adopt swadeshi products and support Indian industries. He reminded the audience that India was never a poor nation; instead, invaders looted its wealth for centuries.
He said, “Whatever the world’s GDP is today, foreigners had taken away almost the same amount from India around 250 years ago. Yet, by Mahadev’s blessings, our country remained strong and is now moving ahead on the path of becoming a world leader.”
He recalled how the Somnath Temple was attacked and looted 17 times, yet the faith of Indians remained unshaken. “This is the strength of Sanatan,” he said.
Before reaching the Katha venue, Baba Ramdev visited the famous Baba Baidyanath Temple. He performed puja in the sanctum sanctorum and offered prayers to the Jyotirlinga.
The temple administration honoured him with a memento and an angavastram as a mark of respect.
