Dhirendra Shastri says, ‘Have 4 children, give one to RSS’:Says, ‘If playing the flute worked, the Mahabharata war would not have happened’

Bageshwar Dham’s Peethadhishwar Dhirendra Shastri said, ‘You have four children. Give one of them to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh so that he can be used to save others.’ He made this statement at the foundation stone laying ceremony of the world’s first ‘Bharat Durga Temple’ in Nagpur. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat was also present at this event held on Friday. Shastri said, ‘When a disaster strikes somewhere, people run away to save their lives. But Sangh workers go there and save people’s lives.’ He said, ‘The ‘Bharat Durga Temple’ being built in the Cancer Institute premises in Nagpur will remind people that India runs on both ‘Shastra’ (scriptures) and ‘Shastra’ (weapons). This is a confluence of ‘Mala and Bhala’ (rosary and spear). Our gods and goddesses also have weapons in their hands. If only playing the flute would have worked, the Mahabharata war would never have happened.’ In India, women are considered worshipable Dhirendra Shastri said, ‘In no other country in the world does maternal power receive the respect that it gets in India. Has anyone ever heard the chant of ‘Pakistan Mata’ or ‘China Mata’? Only India is such a country where women are not considered objects of pleasure but are worshipable.’ We should soon move towards Akhand Bharat The Peethadhishwar of Bageshwar Dham said that his eyes were moist during the Bhoomi Pujan, because now India is going to write a new history. He prayed to Hanuman Ji that India remains full of saints and devotion to God, and we soon move towards ‘Akhand Bharat’ (Undivided India). The program was attended by Swami Avdheshanand Giri Ji Maharaj, Karshneepeethadhishwar Pujya Govind Giri Ji, Didi Maa Ritambhara and saints from Chinmaya Mission, along with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Leaders have also made statements about having more children Pradeep Mishra had said, ‘Sanatani people should have 4 children’ Before Pt. Dhirendra Shastri, storyteller Pradeep Mishra has also made a similar statement. Mishra had said – Sanatanists should have four children. Two for themselves and two for the nation. Until the law comes, have more children. Pradeep Mishra said this in May 2024 during the Shiv Mahapuran Katha in Durg district of Chhattisgarh. He had said – Daughters should not get involved in love marriage. You will go to school, go to college, go to tuition. There you will meet 100 types of boys. But you cannot live a 100-year life with these 100 boys. Your father will search and bring someone, with whom you can live a 100-year life properly. RSS Chief Bhagwat had said, ‘Have 3 children, decline in population is a matter of concern’ Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat has also made a statement on having more children. He had said – The population growth rate should not fall below 2.1%. For this, have 3 children instead of 2. This number is necessary so that society remains alive. Bhagwat had said at the Kathale Kul Sammelan in Nagpur in December 2024 – The country’s population policy was decided in 1998-2002. According to this, if the population growth rate of any society falls below 2.1, then that society will automatically get destroyed. BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma’s statement, ‘Every Hindu should have three children’ In January 2026, BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma from Huzur had said – The concern of the Sangh, saints and senior citizens is justified that Hindus should have more than two children. He had said – Hindus are marrying late. Due to this, families are getting wiped out. If there are three children, then a daughter will also be born. She will become someone’s daughter, daughter-in-law, aunt, maternal aunt. To save Hindustan from those who are producing five to twenty-five children, it is also necessary to have three children. Every Hindu must necessarily have three children.
