While the Islamists are suggesting that ‘Hindu nationalists’ or ‘Hindutva goons’ climbed atop a “mosque”, in reality, it is not a mosque but a Dargah or shrine named after Ghazi Syed Salar Masud. It is not even his grave or mazar.
On the occasion of Ram Navami (6th April), some of the activists of Maharaja Suheldev Samman Suraksha Manch (MSSSM), led by one Manendra Pratap Singh, reportedly climbed atop the Dargah of Syed Salar Masud Ghazi and waved saffron flags in the Baharia area of Prayagraj.
Spiritual leader and founder of the Art of Living, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will be performing the consecration of the fragmants of the Somnath Jyotirling. The broken pieces of the Jyotirlinga were being preserved by generations of Agnihotri Brahmins since its destruction. The pieces are still very active and behave like magnets as demonstrated by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
The Battle Story of Somnath is a multilingual project which will be released in twelve major Indian languages including Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Marathi.
Anas Haqqani, leader of the Islamist group Haqqani Network on Tuesday visited the tomb of Mahmud Ghaznavi, who attacked the Somnath temple in Gujarat in 10th century 17 times and even broke the idol.
Ghazi Salar Masud was ultimately killed by Maharaja Suheldev when the two engaged in the fierce Battle of Bahraich in 1034 CE. The battle was fought near Chittaura Lake near the present-day Bahraich city in Uttar Pradesh.
