New Delhi: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) conducted a yajna Monday morning, hoping its prayers will help the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) re-establish contact with Chandrayaan-2’s lander — Vikram.

VHP national spokesperson Vinod Bansal organised the yajna guided by Vedic scholar Darshanacharya Vimlesh Arya at the Arya Samaj mandir in south Delhi.

“We have prayed to the gods through this yajna in the morning today to re-establish the connectivity of ISRO with the Chandrayaan lander. We have full faith in our prayers,” Bansal said. “We chanted Vedic mantras and also prayed for a complete success of the project for the scientist community too.”

Bansal said apart from his family and VHP workers, there were a number of social workers who participated in the yajna.

The Chandrayaan-2 lander

Chandrayaan-2’s lander, Vikram, had lost contact with ground control around 2.1 km from the lunar surface. The live coverage of the scheduled landing, for which PM Modi was present on the ISRO premises, was being viewed across India and the world.

“Vikram lander descent was as planned and normal performance was observed up to an altitude of 2.1 km. Subsequently, the communications from the lander to the ground station was lost. The data is being analysed,” ISRO chief K Sivan had announced.

Named after Dr Vikram A. Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space programme, the 1,471-kg lander of Chandrayaan-2 is the first Indian mission to explore the lunar terrain with home-grown technology.

  1. Was there any need for Chandrayana. Theey could have simply done a havan and Vikram would have landed on the moon. Even there is no need for ISRO. VHP can do everything by yagna.

  2. Now it is clear that VHP was responsible for the rough landing of the Vikram Lander. They deliberately forgot to do puja for its safe landing before the scheduled date.

  3. Hope VHP took expert advice for the yajna from BJP MP from Bhopal as she is supposed to be an authority in the matters related to —-+++++++
