Pay tribute to the saints killed at Palghar on the occasion of Adi Shankaracharya’s Jayanti ! – Hindu Janjagruti Samiti*

April 28 is the birthday of Adi Shankaracharya, the father of the revival of Hinduism. On the night of April 16, a violent mob attacked two Hindu saints Pujya Kalpavruksha Giriji Maharaj and Pujya Sushil Giriji Maharaj along with their driver and brutally killed them. These saints were a part of the Akhada tradition which was created by H.H. Adi Shankaracharya. ‘Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti’ will be the most appropriate day to bow at the feet of saints.

In this context, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has made a public appeal to all Hindus across the country to light ‘diyas’ in the evening of April 28 and bow down at the feet of saints and participate in protesting against this cruel act. Sant Samaj, pro-Hindu and patriotic organizations across the country have also appealed to the people for the same. National Spokesperson of HJS Shri. Ramesh Shinde said that all Hindus should actively participate in this initiative and thereby fulfill their duty unto Dharma. ”Hindus can also exhibit their unity by taking part in the social media trend #HindusRiseAsOne”, further stated Shri. Shinde.
