Every citizen should work towards enhancing integrity of India: RSS chief

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said instead of showing our strength to the enemies on the country's borders, we are fighting among ourselves. Every citizen of India should make efforts for enhancing the country's unity and integrity, he said, speaking at the valediction ceremony of the 'Sangh Shiksha Varg' (officers' training camp for RSS cadres) here. India did well among all countries during the global economic crisis and later the COVID-19 pandemic, he said, adding that India has got the G20 presidency this year and "this pride can be felt." There are several schisms related to religion and creed in our society, Bhagwat said. We are not showing our strength to the enemies sitting on the border, but we are fighting among ourselves. We are forgetting that we are one country, the Sangh chief said. Everyone should make efforts for (enhancing) India's unity and integrity. And if there are any shortcomings, we must all work on them, he added. Some

India needs to nurture knowledge of Vedas, says RSS chief Bhagwat

India needs to nurture the knowledge of the Vedas and the ancient language of Sanskrit to become a 'vishwa guru', Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat said here on Sunday. He said Indian culture was not orthodox but changed with time and was not one that told us "what to eat and what not to eat". India was created on the values of the Vedas, which have been followed by generation after generation, Bhagwat said at the 'Ved Sanskrit Gyan Gaurav Samarambh' event organised by Shree Bhagwan Yagyavalkya Vedtatvagyan Yogashram Trust in Mudeti village here. "Therefore, today's India has to grow but not to become a superpower like America, China and Russia that wield power. We have to become a country which can offer answers to the problems plaguing the world today. We have to become a country which can show the world the path of peace, love and prosperity through right conduct," Bhagwat said. India is a country that believes in propagating 'dharma', uniting everyone and becoming

Missionaries take advantage when people lose faith in society: RSS chief

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, in an apparent reference to religious conversions, said on Sunday that missionaries take advantage of the situations wherein people feel that the society is not with them. He was addressing an event here, where he dedicated to the people the samadhi of Govindnath Maharaj. "We don't see our own people. We don't go to them and ask them. But some missionary from thousands of miles away comes and lives there, eats their food, speaks their language and then converts them," Bhagwat said. Over the course of 100 years, people came to India to change everything, he said. They have been working here for centuries but failed to gain anything as our roots remained strong thanks to the efforts of our ancestors, Bhagwat said. "Efforts are made to uproot them. So, the society should understand that deceit. We have to strengthen the faith," he said. Deceptive people raise some questions about religion to waver the faith, he said, adding, "Ou

RSS chief calls on India to share traditional knowledge for global welfare

India formed for welfare of world, research knowledge and share it: Bhagwat

India was formed for the welfare of the world and the country must share its knowledge as a duty amid its rise in strength and prestige, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Saturday. Addressing a gathering at Gujarat University here, Bhagwat asked Indians to shed their doubts and lack of belief in the country's ancient knowledge system and instead carry out research to find out what is relevant and share it with all. "Our nation was formed because of the penance of our forefathers, who wanted the world's welfare. That is why it is our duty (to share knowledge)," Bhagwat said after launching 1,051 volumes of the ancient Indian knowledge system and related subjects prepared by Punarutthan Vidyapeeth, an Ahmedabad-based and RSS-linked think tank. Even as India's strength and prestige increases globally, it is required from us that we review our knowledge system as well as those existing in the world to "find new levels of knowledge and offer it to the world", he ...

Hindu gurus do more social service in South than missionaries: RSS Chief

"However, this isn't a measure, service isn't a competition," he added.

Hindu spiritual community in South does more than missionaries: Bhagwat

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said social service by Hindi spiritual gurus in the southern states was several times more than that provided by missionaries, but added that this is not a matter of competition. He was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of a three-day conclave of the Rashtriya Sewa Sangam organised by a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh affiliate at Keshav Vidhyapeeth in Jamdoli near Jaipur. Bhagwat said intellectuals in the country generally mention (Christian) missionaries when talking about service to society. "Missionary organisations run various institutions, schools and hospitals all over the world everyone knows this. But what is the Hindu seer community doing? With this thought in mind, a Hindu service fair was held in Chennai, he said. It was noticed there that the service done by the acharyas, munis and sanyasis in Kannada-speaking, Telugu-speaking, Malayalam-speaking and Tamil-speaking provinces is many times more than the service done by the missionaries,

RSS meet to focus on social harmony, developing sense of self-reliance

A key annual meeting of the RSS leadership will begin here Sunday, with the deliberations focusing on how to create an atmosphere of social harmony, motivating people to perform their duties and making them self-reliant.

Lack of dignity for labour main reason behind unemployment, says RSS chief

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said lack of dignity for labour was one of the main reasons behind unemployment in the country, as he urged people to respect all kinds of work irrespective of their nature and asked them to stop running after jobs. He said that no society in the world can create more than 30 per cent jobs. "No matter what kind of work people do, it should be respected. Lack of dignity for labour is one of the chief reasons behind unemployment in the society. Whether the work requires physical labour or intellect, whether it requires hard work or soft skills - all should be respected," he said during a public function here. "Everyone runs behind jobs. Government jobs are only around 10 per cent, while other jobs are around 20 per cent. No society in the world can create more than 30 per cent jobs," he said, adding that work that requires hand labour is still not respected. Giving an example, he said a man engaged in washing cups and ..

Make India a country of knowledgeable people: RSS chief Bhagwat on R-Day

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday called upon Indians to make India a country of knowledgeable people. Speaking at a Republic Day function at Keshav Vidhaypeeth in Jamdoli near Jaipur, Bhagwat described the significance of the three colours in the national flag and said people should take a resolution to move ahead and try to fulfil it. "We unfurl the tricolour, the symbol of our sovereignty, with enthusiasm, joy and pride. Our destination lies in that flag only. We have to make India big in the world, he said. Talking about the colours in the national flag, he said the top band of saffron colour represents the nature of India, which is the symbol of eternal life. "The colour that comes with the rising sun, which is the symbol of continuous work, which inspires man to wake up and be active in his work, is the colour of saffron. It is the symbol of knowledge, sacrifice and hard work, he said. "It is our resolution that by breaking the chains of slavery, we will make our country a

Naqvi hails Bhagwat's remarks on Muslims, says spirit of partnership needed

Former minority affairs minister and senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Wednesday hailed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's remarks on Muslims and said the spirit of partnership and not the battle to dominate leads to the path of development. Naqvi's assertion came after Bhagwat said Muslims have nothing to fear in India, but they must abandon their "boisterous rhetoric of supremacy". In an interview to Organiser and Panchjanya, Bhagwat said, "The simple truth is this, Hindusthan should remain Hindusthan. There is no harm to the Muslims living today in Bharat... Islam has nothing to fear. But at the same time, Muslims must abandon their boisterous rhetoric of supremacy." "We are of an exalted race; we once ruled over this land, and shall rule it again; only our path is right, rest everyone is wrong; we are different, therefore we will continue to be so; we cannot live together; they (Muslims) must abandon this narrative. In fact, all those who live here whether a Hindu or a communist .

Insaan should remain Insaan': Kapil Sibal's dig at Bhagwat's remarks

Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Wednesday took a swipe at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's "Hindusthan should remain Hindusthan" remark, saying he agreed with that but "Insaan (human beings) should remain Insaan". Bhagwat has said Muslims have nothing to fear in India, but they must abandon their "boisterous rhetoric of supremacy". In an interview to Organiser and Panchjanya, Bhagwat said, "The simple truth is this, Hindusthan should remain Hindusthan. There is no harm to the Muslims living today in Bharat... Islam has nothing to fear. But at the same time, Muslims must abandon their boisterous rhetoric of supremacy." "We are of an exalted race; we once ruled over this land, and shall rule it again; only our path is right, rest everyone is wrong; we are different, therefore we will continue to be so; we cannot live together; they (Muslims) must abandon this narrative. In fact, all those who live here whether a Hindu or a communist must give up this logic," the RSS chief said. Reacting to th

G20 presidency coming to India is no small thing, says RSS chief Bhagwat

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said the presidency of G20 coming to India is not an ordinary thing, and the world "needs India now". He was speaking at the concluding function of the 'Sangh Shiksha Varg' or third-year officers' training camp at the RSS headquarters here. "The world needs India now....India figures in global discussion and Indians have also become confident that they can lead the world," Bhagwat said. "The chairmanship of G20 coming to India is not an ordinary thing. But it is just a beginning and we have a long way to go and the entire society has to work towards making India 'Vishva Guru (world's guide)," he added. There were many efforts to seek happiness for humanity in the last 2,000 years but none of them succeeded, and now the world will have to turn to India, the RSS chief added. Only India can show the way to global happiness as we have always believed in the principle that the whole world is one family, Bhagwat said. Hinduis

Merely making law to help backward community not enough: RSS chief

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said merely making law to help the backward community is not enough and mindsets have to be changed towards such people to ensure their upliftment. Bhagwat gave the remarks here on the occasion of Valmiki Jayanti. Addressing a gathering at Nanarao Park here, Bhagwat said, "The Valmiki community is still very weak and is lagging behind. It has to come forward. Provisions have been made in the Constitution. The king (government) is looking after implementation of the law. Despite this, if there is no 'apnaapan' (sense of belongingness), then it will not benefit those for whom it is meant." The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh sarsanghchalak said that Dr (Bhimrao) Ambedkar made provisions in the Constitution for the upliftment of the Scheduled Caste and Dalit communities. "He (Dr Ambedkar) had said that now the Dalits would sit with everyone. We made this provision. But, merely making the provision will not be enough. The mindset has to be transformed, and

NCP chief Pawar welcomes Mohan Bhagwats' comments on social discrimination

Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar on Saturday welcomed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat's statement that anything which causes social discrimination must be junked. Speaking at a book launch event here on Friday, Bhagwat had said concepts like 'Varna' and 'Jaati' (caste) should be completely discarded, adding that the caste system has no relevance now. "Everything that causes discrimination should go out lock, stock and barrel," the RSS chief had said. He had also said one must not hesitate to accept and apologise for the mistakes committed by one's ancestors. Speaking to reporters at Nagpur airport, Pawar, however, said such statements need to be implemented in actual behaviour and must not remain as lip service. "A big segment of society suffered due to such discrimination. And the fact that those who were responsible for such discrimination are realising it must be done away with is a good thing," he said. "Only apologising, however, will not
