Three-day
convention ‘Shaiv Mahotsav concluded at Ujjain on 7th January, 2018
at Ujjain. RSS Sarsanghachalak Shri
Mohan Bhagwat inaugurated the event along with Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan,
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Shankaracharya of Bhanpura Peeth, Swami
Divyanand Tirth.
Speaking in
the inaugural function of the three-day 'Shaiv Mahotsav' here, Bhagwat said,
"The footprints of our culture are found all over the world. The Indian
culture is universal and teaches the art of living to entire world. Lord Shiva
is the symbol of world unity. It is our duty to guide the world. The first name
of Lord Shiva was Rudra, which means power. There is no point in being Shiva
without power. Rudra was Shiva who destroyed all evil powers. The character of
a nation or an individual should be like Shiva. There is no need of war for
peace. For (achieving) this, all selfishness needs to be sacrificed," he
said.
The ‘Shaiv
Kala Sangam’ exhibition based on Lord Shiva has a detailed description of his
eternal forms. Shaiv sects established in ancient India have been exhibited through
