Must read

Shillong, Sept 12: Jyotish Peethadheeshwar Shankaracharya Avimukteshwarandah, a Hindu group, will host ‘Gau Dhwaj’ to declare cow as ‘Mother of the Nation’ in Shillong on October 2.

A press conference in this regard could not be held following a protest staged by the Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) in front of the Shillong Press Club premises on Thursday. Security was beefed up in and around the SPC premises during the protest.

However, the group’s functionary Yogiraj Shailendra in a statement claimed, “We have asked multiple times for written permission to hold a press conference from the press club of Shillong but we haven’t received it yet. Hence, we are unable to hold a press meet.”

The statement also informed that “Shankaracharya Ji is scheduled to arrive in Shillong, Meghalaya on the evening of 1st October. On 2nd October, he will preside over the installation of the Gau Dhwaj and deliver an address at the Gau Mahasabha. Afterward, he will continue the journey toward West Bengal.”

“The goal of this Gau Dhwaj Sthapana Bharat Yatra is to awaken cow devotees nationwide, unite them for a common cause – restoring the dignity and honor of the sacred cow, and conferring upon her the status of ‘Rashtra Mata’; and the motto is ‘Gau Mata, Rashtra Mata – Rashtra Mata, Bharat Mata’,” it said.

Shailendra also informed that the Gau Dhwaj Sthapana Bharat Yatra will start from September 22.

Following this Yatra, a nationwide Gau Pratishtha Mahasammelan will be held on the occasion of Gopashtami in Delhi, on November 7, 8, and 9, which will decisively appeal to the Government of India to end the curse of cow slaughter and honor the cow as Rashtra Mata.
