Sanatan Board A Necessary Clarion Call

Venerable Shri Devkinandan Thakurji Maharaj
(Messenger of Peace | Gem of Dharma | Pride of Braj)
Pujya Shri Devkinandan Thakur Ji Maharaj was born in a cultured Brahmin family in the sacred land of Braj, in the village of Aauwaah (Mant region) in Mathura district. Raised with love and values by his revered father Shri Rajveer Sharma and mother Smt. Anusuiya Devi, Maharaj Ji’s childhood was deeply inspired by devotion to Lord Krishna and the divine tales of Braj.
In his early years, he took his first steps on the spiritual path by portraying Lord Krishna in devotional performances (leela mandalis) in Shri Dham Vrindavan. In Vrindavan, he received scriptural initiation from the revered Shri Purushottam Sharma Shastri Ji, blending the paths of devotion and action in his life.
His discourses on the Shrimad Bhagavatam are not just a means of storytelling, but a powerful force for social awakening and inner purification. Since the beginning of his spiritual journey in 1997, he has conducted over 600 events, transforming the lives of millions of people through his inspiring words.
Under his leadership, the Vishwa Shanti Sewa Charitable Trust runs various social service initiatives — including cow protection, Yamuna river rejuvenation, dowry-free marriages, environmental conservation, prisoner reform, disaster relief, and global peace pilgrimages — all aimed at guiding society towards enduring values
. Respected across religious and spiritual circles, Maharaj Ji has been honored by many saints and spiritual leaders for his tireless work. He continues to advance with a meaningful vision — the establishment of the Sanatan Board, to spread a positive and constructive message in society.

“Sanatan Board” A Necessary Clarion Call
– Not a mere thought, but a Dharma awakening

This book is the voice of a silent pain—a pain born from the continuous attacks on Sanatan Dharma. It does not merely raise concerns about temple management; rather, it seeks to awaken the Sanatan consciousness that is deeply woven into every particle of India. Once, our temples were centers of knowledge, medicine, service, and culture. Today, due to government interference, anti-religious conspiracies, and a corrupt system, they are losing their sanctity. This book emphasizes that the time has come to establish an independent, transparent, and dharma-based “Sanatan Board”—an institution that can protect the soul of our temples. Drawing from history, scriptures, Puranas, Upanishads, and contemporary realities, this work proves that the defense of dharma is not just an emotional act—it requires organization and dedication. Through comparisons with institutions like the Waqf Board, the book also makes it clear how the Sanatan tradition is being systematically suppressed. The author’s style beautifully balances devotion and reason, with the influence of Shri Devkinandan Thakur Ji’s voice shining through clearly. This book is for all those who wish to see India’s future must stay rooted in its heritage, and who know that remaining silent now is no less than self-destruction, “Sanatan Board” is a clarion call for the protection of self-respect, culture, and dharma. Radhe Radhe!
