The first attack in foreign invasions was on our faith – Anurag
Anurag Singh Thakur said that it is the dream of every Himachali who has come out of Himachal Pradesh to establish himself very strongly outside. So that when the opportunity arises, that Devbhoomi can be useful to Himachal. It is extremely pleasing to see that Shiv Shakti Siddha Shri Baba Balaknath Welfare Society (Regd.) Noida By building such a huge temple of Baba Balaknath Ji, we have established our culture outside Himachal. The temples of India have been symbols of the soul of India. For centuries these temples remained centers of knowledge, culture and consciousness. Therefore, the first attack during foreign invasions was on our faith and self-respect. Ram Janmabhoomi, Kashi Vishwanath, Somnath, not only temples were demolished, but attempts were made to weaken India’s self-confidence. After centuries of slavery, even in independent India, there remained hesitation and neglect regarding cultural heritage for many decades.
India proudly accepts its cultural roots – Anurag Singh Thakur
Anurag Singh Thakur said that since 2014, under the leadership of respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has accepted its cultural roots with pride. Modi government linked temples not only as centers of faith but also with culture, tourism, employment and development. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, unprecedented redevelopment of temple corridors and pilgrimage sites has taken place in the country. Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, Mahakal Lok Ujjain, Maa Kamakhya Temple, Ram Mandir The renovation of Ayodhya, Kedarnath Dham and Juna Somnath temple has given a new energy to the spiritual soul of India. These projects, while being important for religious sentiments, are also stimulating the local economy and tourism. Today the whole world is watching how India, while cherishing its heritage, is moving forward with confidence towards a developed India.
Congress government is not able to develop Himachal- Thakur
Anurag Singh Thakur said that the indifference of the Congress government of Himachal towards beautification of religious places and increasing facilities around them is painful. Many years have passed since Rs 50 crore was provided for Chintpurni Mata Temple but the state government is not able to spend it. If we had this opportunity, we would have made Chintpurni Dham more divine and grand by investing Rs 50 crore from the center and Rs 200 crore from the state. Due to the ineffectiveness of the Congress government, Himachal is lagging behind in both development and heritage.
