Varanasi
The Kashi Scholar Council has released a new Hindu code of conduct to improve Hindu traditions and social behavior. This 400-page document has been prepared after long deliberations with scholars, Shankaracharyas, Mahamandaleshwar and saints across the country. The new code has advised complete ban on dowry, prohibition of extravagance in weddings and marrying in a Vedic manner during the day.
Only 13 people will join Brahmabhoj
The limit has been set to include only 13 people in the banquet after the funeral. Along with this, modern practices like pre-wedding shoots and engagement have also been discouraged. The Code has simplified the process of returning to Hinduism.
Those who had converted under any pressure, they will be able to return to Hinduism including their gotra and name. Along with this, only priests and saints will be allowed to enter the sanctum sanctorum of temples to maintain the sanctity of temples.
Officially applicable will be applicable in October 2025
Ram Narayan Dwivedi, general secretary of the Kashi Scholar Council, said that this code has been developed by 70 scholars. These scholars were divided into 11 teams and three sub-teams. Each team consisted of five scholars from northern and southern India. More than 40 meetings were held to finalize the Code. He informed that 5 lakh copies of this code will be distributed across the country.
Along with Manusmriti, Parashar Smriti, Deval Smriti as well as Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata and Puranas have been included in preparing this code. This code will be officially implemented after the acceptance of Shankaracharyas, Ramanujacharyas and prominent saints in October 2025.
