With an aim to restore Hindu nation status to Nepal, Gorkhas from India and Nepal began a long march from Haridwar (India) to Kathmandu, on August 11, 2017.<\/p>\n
The campaign that began from the sacred banks of River Ganga will end at Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu on April 14, 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are getting overwhelming support from both Nepal and India for this initiative that will restore Nepal\u2019s unique identity across the globe as being a fully Hindu nation,\u201d says Chief coordinator of the campaign Padam Prasad Subedi, who has arrived in Haridwar with dozens of Nepali volunteers.<\/p>\n
Subedi informed that religious gurus of India are also supporting the campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cJagad Guru Shankaracharya Swami Raj Rajeshwaram Maharaj and Mahamandaleshwar Shyam Sundar Das Shastri will welcome and bless volunteers undertaking this yatra,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Shamsher Bahadur, Founder of Gorkha Sandesh Foundation, says, \u201cWe are mobilizing Hindus both in Nepal and India to restore the hill country as the lone Hindu nation. 82% of Nepal\u2019s population is Hindu. If Arab countries and Pakistan can declare themselves as Muslim nations, why not Nepal as Hindu nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Acharya Hariharanand, who is mobilising saints from India, the campaign will begin with religious rituals at sanctum sanctorum of Brahma Kund, Har-Ki-Pauri, seeking Ganga\u2019s blessings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
