500 Converted Families Return to Sanatan Dharma as 125,000 Clay Shiva Lingas Are Worshipped; Prabal Pratap Judev Warns Critics of Lord Shiva

Shivrinarayan (Janjgir-Champa), Chhattisgarh — On the auspicious occasion of the creation and worship of 125,000 clay Shiva lingas held today as part of the Sawan festival, 500 families who had previously converted were respectfully brought back to their original Sanātan (Hindu) traditions through formal rites, Vedic chanting, and religious ceremonies.

The sacred ceremony took place at Ram Milenge Ashram, Tenduvadham, Shivrinarayan — the holy land associated with Mother Shabari and the penance-locus of Lord Shri Ram — as part of the Sawan Mahotsav. The event, which combined the construction and worship of 125,000 clay Shiva lingas with reconversion rites, was organized jointly by Ram Milenge Ashram, Kumar Dilip Singh Judev Sanatan Foundation, and Seva Nyay Utthan.

Under the stewardship of Prabal Pratap Singh Judev, All-India Head of the Homecoming Campaign and BJP Chhattisgarh State Vice-President, the reconversion rites consisted of traditional worship, Vedic mantra recitation, and customary samskaras (rites of passage). After these ceremonies, the families were ceremonially welcomed back into the mainstream of Sanātan culture.

Prabal Pratap Singh Judev said:
“My revered father, Maharaj Kumar Dilip Singh Judev, launched the homecoming campaign with unwavering resolve, penance and devotion. Carrying forward that mission is my solemn vow. The noble work of protecting Sanātan culture, awakening religious consciousness, and respectfully reconnecting families with their roots will continue without pause.”

He added:
“Let those who insult Sanātan or make unbecoming remarks about our revered Lord Shiva — notably Arun Pannalal — understand that Sanātan does not pick fights, but if anyone challenges its faith and culture, Sanātan will not abandon them. Time itself reveals the consequences of unrighteous and anti-Sanātan actions. When Vishnu’s Sudarshan Chakra turns, even the greatest arrogance is humbled.”

Judev emphasized that Sanātan Dharma is not merely a belief system but the soul, culture, and life-philosophy of India. Reconnecting with one’s roots is every person’s right, and the homecoming campaign is an ongoing effort in cultural renewal.

The ceremony was attended by religious leaders, social workers, and a large number of devotees.
