Hyderabad — At an international gathering in Lucknow, the Vishwa Hindu Raksha Parishad (VHRP) adopted a six-point resolution to guide its future actions. A key highlight of this event was the honoring of Yamuna Pathak, the national head of VHRP’s women’s wing based in Hyderabad.
She received the prestigious Bharath Gaurav Sanatan Samman for her dedicated work in preserving the heritage of ancient temples in Hyderabad’s Old City. The award recognized her efforts to protect temple culture and reclaim land that had been unlawfully taken from these sacred sites.
Brajesh Pathak, the Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, and Gopal Rai, VHRP’s international president, presented the award to Yamuna Pathak. They praised her commitment to protecting India’s spiritual and cultural roots.
In his address, Brajesh Pathak highlighted the inclusive nature of Sanatana Dharma. He said the faith stands for unity, peace, and the idea that the whole world is one family — a philosophy known as 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'.
He emphasized that Sanatana Dharma has always worked for the good of all living beings. According to him, its core belief is to fight evil and promote harmony across communities.
