A group of leaders active in ridiculing Dharma in this country : PM Modi
Programme of laying foundation stone of a cancer hospital in Bageshwar Dham, Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh)

Chhatarpur (MP) – There is a group of political leaders in this country who abhor Hindu Dharma, stated the Prime Minister in a programme laying the foundation stone of a cancer hospital being built by Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham.
Highlighting the persistent attacks on our beliefs, traditions, and temples, PM remarked that these elements attack our Saints, culture, and principles. They target our festivals, customs, and rituals, and even dare to defame the inherently progressive nature of our religion and culture.

PM Modi stated that our temples, monasteries, and sacred sites have had dual roles as both centres of worship and centres for creating social awareness. Our sages have provided us with the science of Ayurveda and Yoga, which is now globally recognized. Referring to the wide discussions on our Maha Kumbha, PM stated that crores of people have visited and experienced faith.
Our Dharma teaches us to serve all living beings and alleviate their sorrow. My younger brother Dhirendra Krishna Shastri has been creating awareness amongst people about the ‘mantra’ of unity. Now, he has taken another pledge for the welfare of society and humanity in the form of building a cancer hospital. You can have ‘Bhajan’, ‘Bhojan’ and a healthy life at Bageshwar Dham. I congratulate Dhirendra Krishna Shastri for his noble work. The spiritual centre Bageshwar Dham will also become a health centre with the blessings of Hanuman.
