On the occasion of the centenary year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a grand and well-organised Hindu Conference was held at Eentkhedi town in Raisen district. Conducted with great enthusiasm, discipline, and cultural dignity, the historic gathering witnessed the participation of nearly ten thousand members of the Hindu community. Women, youth, senior citizens, and representatives of various social organisations marked their significant presence. The objective of the conference was to organise Hindu society, strengthen cultural consciousness, and reinforce social responsibility towards the nation.
In his keynote address, Kshetra Pracharak Swapnil Kulkarni highlighted the significance of the Sangh’s centenary year and called upon Hindu society to move forward on the path of social harmony and the vision of Panch Parivartan (Five Transformations). He stated that the Sangh’s hundred-year journey is not merely the history of an organisation, but a continuous endeavour to unite society, strengthen the nation, and re-establish Bharatiya civilisational values.
Shri Kulkarni observed that challenges such as social divisions, cultural amnesia, and erosion of moral values can be addressed only through the creation of a harmonious and conscious Hindu society. Elaborating on the Sangh’s concept of Panch Parivartan, he emphasised that these are not abstract ideas, but values to be practised in daily life.
He explained that awareness of self connects individuals with their culture and responsibilities; civic duty fosters accountability towards the nation; social harmony strengthens unity and goodwill in society; environmental protection safeguards the future of coming generations; and Swadeshi lays the foundation of a self-reliant Bharat. He made a special appeal to the youth to adopt these values and play an active role in nation-building.
The dignified presence of sants and spiritual leaders imparted a spiritual depth to the conference. Chief guest Sadhvi Didi Ranjana, in her address, stated that Hindutva is not a narrow ideology, but a comprehensive way of life. She highlighted that Hindu culture embodies inclusivity, compassion, and coexistence, reinforcing the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. She urged Matrushakti to serve as carriers of values and traditions within families and society.
The programme commenced in a patriotic atmosphere with the collective singing of Vande Mataram, followed by the ceremonial lighting of the lamp. Sants, the chief speaker, and other dignitaries on the dais were accorded a traditional welcome. Discipline, punctuality, and dignity were evident throughout the event.
