Hong Kong, April 7, 2025: In a historic initiative to honor the eternal principles of Sanatan Dharma, the Indian community in Hong Kong has established ‘World Sanatan Dharma Diwas.’ This significant announcement was made on the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami, the sacred day marking the birth of Lord Shri Ram, who symbolizes righteousness, devotion, and truth.
This grand event witnessed participation not only from the Indian community in Hong Kong but also from Sanatanis across India and other countries, making it a globally significant celebration.
The key organizers of the event included Lal Hardasani, Dayal N. Harjani, Ramakant Agrawal, Raju Sabnani, Binny Lalji, Rajesh Bhimsaria, Ashok Pritmani, Pishu Mirani, Raju Mukhi, Ramesh Savarthiya, Sohan Goenka, and convener Shashi Bhushan.
On this occasion, organizer Lal Hardasani stated,”This is a historic moment for the Indian community in Hong Kong. By initiating World Sanatan Dharma Day, we aim to spread a wave of peace and spiritual awakening across the globe.”
Organizer Sohan Goenka, in his address, remarked,”Every year, we celebrate Ram Navami in different ways, but this year, we have resolved to establish it as ‘World Sanatan Dharma Day.’ Lord Shri Ram is the living embodiment of Dharma. His life is a testament to the principles of Sanatan Dharma. He vowed to rid the earth of evil and injustice and upheld this promise by willingly renouncing his throne and embracing 14 years of exile. He serves as an inspiration to all of humanity as an ideal son, brother, disciple, friend, king, warrior, enemy, father, and husband. Therefore, no other day could be more appropriate than his birth anniversary to be recognized as ‘World Sanatan Dharma Diwas.'”
The organizers also highlighted the recent Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, where 66 crore (660 million) devotees from over 70 countries participated, taking a holy dip in the sacred confluence. This, they emphasized, is a clear indication that global consciousness towards Sanatan Dharma is awakening.
Raju Sabnani, along with all the organizers, hailed this celebration as a historic and inspirational event, marking the beginning of a new spiritual journey.
