Ishwar Sharma, Naiduniya Ujjain / Indore. The campaign to remove the Islamic words that have entered Sanatan Dharma from the worship, meditation and worship system of Hindus and to replace them with Sanskrit and Hindi words has now become nationwide.
After the news was published in Naiduniya last week about the removal of the word ‘Shahi’ from Mahakal’s procession, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav had called the procession ‘Rajasi’ instead of ‘Shahi’. Now in this ‘word purification yagya’, the saints and sages of 13 Akharas, Sapta Puris and the four Kumbh cities of Sanatan Dharma are also coming to a consensus.
This initiative has been taken up by the sages and scholars of Ujjain. A plan is being made to hold a discussion on this at the all India level. Under this, discussions will be held with the sages of 13 Akharas, prominent religious leaders residing in the Saptpuris and the sages and saints of the four Kumbh cities.

Use of culturally appropriate words
Words like Shahi, Peshwai are not part of Indian culture.

The decision will be taken before Prayag Kumbh
The full Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj will begin from January 13, 2025. Before this, the work of finding and making a list of Islamic and Mughal words used in Sanatan’s spoken language will be done. This list will be sent to the President, Prime Minister, Governors and Chief Ministers of all the states.
In the letter sent along with this, it will be requested that the use of these listed words of Urdu and Persian be stopped in the documents related to Sanatan. In their place, words from Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi will be suggested in the list.
