Want PoK in Guru Dakshina: Swami Rambhadracharya on meeting Indian Army Chief
In a unique and intriguing turn of events, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi recently visited Jagadguru Swami Rambhadracharya at his ashram in Chitrakoot, Madhya Pradesh. The meeting, which took place on January 20, was reportedly a private one, and the details of the conversation have only now come to light. According to sources, Swami Rambhadracharya bestowed his blessings upon the Army Chief and even initiated him with the powerful Ram Mantra, which is said to have been received by Lord Hanuman from Maa Sita.
However, what’s more significant is that the spiritual leader has reportedly demanded “Dakshina” (a token of appreciation) from General Dwivedi, with a unique condition. In an extraordinary statement, Swami Rambhadracharya is quoted as saying, “I gave him the same Diksha (initiation) with the Ram Mantra which Lord Hanuman had received from Maa Sita and then conquered Lanka. I have asked for Dakshina from him, and I want PoK back.”
For those who may not be aware, PoK, or Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, is a disputed territory that has been under Pakistani control since the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947. The issue of PoK has been a long-standing one, with India claiming sovereignty over the region and Pakistan maintaining its control. The situation has led to several conflicts and tensions between the two nations over the years.
Swami Rambhadracharya’s statement, therefore, has significant implications. As a respected spiritual leader, his words carry weight, and his demand for PoK back may be seen as a call to action by the Indian government and the military. The fact that the Indian Army Chief himself met with the swami and received his blessings and initiation is a testament to the importance the military places on the spiritual leader’s views.
It’s worth noting that Swami Rambhadracharya is a renowned spiritual leader who has been recognized for his contributions to Indian culture and society. He is the head of the Treta Marg Shodh Sansthan, a research institution dedicated to the study of the Ramayana and other ancient Hindu texts. His ashram in Chitrakoot is a popular pilgrimage site, attracting devotees from across the country.
The meeting between Swami Rambhadracharya and General Dwivedi has sparked a lot of interest and debate, with many interpreting the swami’s statement as a call to reclaim PoK. While the Indian government has not made any official comments on the matter, the military has been actively engaged in various operations along the LoC (Line of Control) in recent times.
The significance of Swami Rambhadracharya’s statement lies in the symbolism it carries. As a spiritual leader, he is seen as a bridge between the divine and the mortal realms, and his words are often interpreted as a message from the gods. By demanding PoK back, he may be seen as a conduit for the collective will of the Indian people, who have long been seeking the return of this disputed territory.
In conclusion, the meeting between Swami Rambhadracharya and General Upendra Dwivedi is a significant development in the ongoing saga of PoK. The spiritual leader’s demand for “Dakshina” from the Army Chief, with a condition to reclaim PoK, has sent shockwaves across the country. As the situation unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the Indian government and military respond to this call to action. One thing is certain, however – Swami Rambhadracharya’s words will continue to resonate with the Indian people, inspiring them to reclaim their rightful place in the region.
