Pandharpur | 11.5 | Rayat Samachar
(Religion) Sane Guruji had undertaken a satyagrahi fast demanding entry for Dalits into the Vitthal Temple in Pandharpur. This historic fast concluded on May 10, 1947. In memory of that event, Santvichar Peeth organizes the Samata Wari at Pandharpur every year. At this year’s Samata Wari, the book launch ceremony of ‘Abhangbodh’, written by H.Bh.P. Dnyaneshwar Bandgar, was successfully held.
(Religion) The book contains interpretations and reflections on twenty-five abhangas of eight Warkari saints. The book was released at the hands of Vitthal Rukmini Temple Committee trustee H.Bh.P. Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Jalgaonkar, head of Shrisant Kaikadibaba Math H.Bh.P. Bharat Maharaj Jadhav, H.Bh.P. Achyut Maharaj Mofre, Vinayak Hogade, and several other dignitaries.
(Religion) Following the book launch, author H.Bh.P. Dnyaneshwar Bandgar was interviewed by Sujit Kalange, through which the journey of writing Abhangbodh was revealed. Dr. Shrirang Gaikwad provided a commentary on the book, stating that this deeply contemplative analysis of Warkari saints’ abhangas is of great significance. A discussion session on the topics of the Warkari tradition and social equality was also held on the occasion.
The programme was compered by Shivaji Shinde. Devotees from across Maharashtra attended the event. Rajabhau Avsak, Nishikant Prachandrao, Sarang Koli, and H.Bh.P. Saurabh Mudhale worked hard to make the event a success.
