“The Mullah Runs to the Mosque” – But Where Does the Hindu Run?

This is not just an old proverb anymore — it has become a stark truth and a warning in today’s times. When a crisis arises — a riot, an attack, or a threat — certain communities have pre-established systems of defense, organization, communication, and response. But when the Hindu community faces a similar crisis, what happens?

The Hindu — whether Sanatani, Jain, Buddhist, or Sikh — feels helpless, scattered, and alone.

🔴 What is the root of the problem?

1. Temples have become mere places of worship

Bhajans, aartis, donations, and feasts are common — but there’s no focus on defense, community awareness, or self-protection.

2. There is no security infrastructure in temples

▪ No defense committee
▪ No local youth response team
▪ No emergency communication system

3. Temple management has no data on the local Hindu community

▪ No list of Hindu families nearby
▪ No phone numbers or addresses
▪ No system to alert and mobilize in emergencies

4. No physical or mental preparedness

▪ Traditional akhadas, gurukuls, and training centers are nearly extinct
▪ Youth are disconnected from temples
▪ Defense and service are not seen as a part of dharma

🛡️ What’s the solution? What must we do now?

We must transform temples into not just spiritual centers, but also into cultural and community defense hubs.

✅ 1. Form Temple Defense Teams

▪ Every temple should organize a local youth protection group
▪ Members should be trained in self-defense, crisis management, and communication
▪ These teams should be visible and active during major festivals and events

✅ 2. Build a Temple-Centric Hindu Contact Network

▪ Collect data on every Hindu family nearby
▪ Maintain updated records: names, house numbers, phone numbers
▪ Build a communication chain for emergencies

✅ 3. Re-establish Akhadas and Gurukuls at Temples

▪ Offer training in yoga, dhyan, physical fitness, scriptures, and martial arts
▪ Reconnect the youth with values, strength, and tradition

✅ 4. Develop an Emergency Alert System

▪ Install loudspeakers or SMS alert systems in temples
▪ In case of attack or crisis, inform the entire local Hindu community instantly

✅ 5. Go beyond Bhandaras – Share Awareness

▪ Every temple must host 2–3 awareness programs yearly
▪ Invite speakers, conduct discussions and workshops on unity, defense, dharma, and seva

📣 A Thought-Provoking Question:

When a temple is attacked,
When a priest is murdered,
When idols are desecrated…
Whom will the pujari call?

▪ No youth team nearby
▪ No community watch group
▪ No rapid response system to raise the alarm

This is not just negligence — it is collective suicide.

🔔 Time to Awaken the True Power of Our Temples

▪ Every temple must become a center of wisdom, service, and security
▪ Every devotee must become a soldier and a sevak of dharma
▪ Every religious leader must become a visionary guide for Hindu unity

Only then can we proudly say —
Yes, we are Sanatanis. Awake, Strong, and United.

🇳🇪 Jai Bharat, Vandematram 🇳🇪
