22 November, 2024; The Mathura Dharm Sansad, organized by the Janmabhoomi Mukti Sangharsh Trust, has recently garnered attention due to the significant demands and resolutions passed during the gathering. This religious parliament saw the participation of sages and saints from across the country, who came together to discuss matters of religious and cultural significance. The event took place in Mathura, a city considered sacred by millions, as it is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
The Dharm Sansad passed six key resolutions, focusing on both local and national religious issues. One of the prominent demands was the call for an early survey of the Shahi Idgah, a mosque located near the Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple. This issue has been a topic of long-standing debate, with the religious community seeking a survey to assess the true historical and religious significance of the site.
Another major resolution passed at the Dharm Sansad was the demand to declare the entire Braj Mandal region as a pilgrimage site. The Braj Mandal, which encompasses Mathura, Vrindavan, and surrounding areas, is steeped in religious and cultural history, with many sites believed to be connected to the life and teachings of Lord Krishna. By designating this entire region as a pilgrimage site, the religious leaders hope to preserve and promote its spiritual and cultural heritage.
The Dharm Sansad also emphasized the need for greater protection of religious sites and the promotion of religious harmony. The event served as a platform for religious leaders to voice their concerns about the state of religious freedom and the importance of safeguarding sacred places for future generations.
As these resolutions and demands make their way through political and legal channels, the Mathura Dharm Sansad remains a significant moment in the ongoing dialogue around religion, culture, and heritage in India.
