Jorhat
plays host to its first ever Vedic conference
Jorhat (Assam): The Sri Sri Dakhimpat Satra,
a religious institution of India's North Eastern Assam, recently hosted a five-day
long Vedic Sammelan (conference) at Notun Dakhimpat Satra in Sotai with the aim
of restoring peace and harmony in the entire country. The conference was held
between December 25 and 29, and was reportedly the first of its kind to be held
here. It was attended by 150 religious scholars from all over India such as Varanasi,
Ujjain, Puri, Kolkata and even Kashmir as well as thousands of devotees. "We want
to spread the knowledge about international peace and brotherhood. Today entire
world is suffering from lot of difficult situations, just like insurgency, political
and economic problems. All this issues can be resolved if we spread Vedic (ancient
Indian scripture) message. This message can eliminate all the evil thoughts from
the mind of human being," said Pandit Lakhan Saroop Brahmacharya, a religious
scholar from Varanasi. A major highlight of this Vedic seminar was the chanting
of the four Vedas - Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharveda by the delegates
and the devotees. "Not only in Assam but all over India, the violence and destruction
of human lives and properties are happening everyday and also severely disturbing
the peaceful existence of the society. This is an evil act. So there is only one
way to remove those evils and that's through the recitation of edas," observed
Noni Gopal Debo Goswami, Satradikhar Prabhu, Dakhimpat, Assam. Besides, the conference,
a book fair was also held at the venue alongside a medical camp where the poor
and needy persons availed free treatment including pathological tests.
