The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat on November 24 that all our Hindu traditions, despite intellectual differences, are examples of ‘Dharma’ and that all ‘Sampradayas’ in Bharat need to be purified to follow discipline.
“The world is one family, and we will make everybody ‘Arya’ that is culture. Although the word ‘culture’ is not sufficient, for a better world I have to say ‘culture’. Satya and Ahimsa are basic principles of Vijaya. All our Hindu traditions, despite intellectual differences, are examples of Dharma. All Sampradayas in Bharat need to be purified to follow discipline. We go everywhere and touch everybody’s heart. They may agree, they may not agree, but we have to connect with all,” said RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat while addressing the ‘World Hindu Congress in Bangkok, Thailand.

Dr Mohan Bhagwat said that India witnessed Dhana Vijay (Material), Asur Vijay’ (aggression). “To acquire possession of all means of material happiness, people try to fight and dominate each other. We have experienced this; the second is ‘Dhana Vijay’- to acquire all means of material happiness, but the intention is not good; the intention is self-centred. We have experienced ‘Asur Vijay’- they committed aggression on other societies, they have ruled for 5200 years, and reaped destruction and havoc in our land. We have experienced ‘Dhana Vijay’ for over 250 years, India was looted,” Dr Mohan Bhagwat said.

Speaking to the media, Swami Vigyananand said, “We have ordered prasad (food offered to the deity) from Ayodhya. A replica of the Ayodhya temple has been built here. We have also brought an image of the birthplace of Ram Lalla from Ayodhya. Copies of the image will be shared with all the delegates (attending the conference). The festive ambience in Ayodhya ahead of the consecration of the Ram temple should be spread across the world.”
