JAIPUR: Hindutva forms the foundation of universal brotherhood. An organised and strong Hindu society can guide the world towards unity and humanity. Wherever Hindu society has reached, it has contributed positively to the progress of that nation and society, said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarkaryawah Dattatreya Hosabale while addressing a Virat Hindu Sammelan at Chitrakoot Stadium in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur on February 22, 2026.
The programme commenced with a Kalash Yatra, a symbol of social harmony, in which more than 700 women participated. The entire atmosphere resonated with national spirit as members of the Hindu society enthusiastically joined the event.
Highlighting the spirit of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” Dattatreya Hosabale described it as the core of the Hindu worldview, emphasising that the entire world is one family. Whenever a crisis arises anywhere in the world, Hindus consider it their own concern. He noted that Bharat has historically provided refuge to the persecuted, citing the examples of the Parsi community and Tibetan refugees, both of whom were welcomed and assimilated into Bharatiya society.
Referring to the Ramayana composed by Maharshi Valmiki, he said it is not merely a narrative but a guide to the ideal life of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram. He remarked that being born in the sacred land of Bharat, where Shri Ram, Shri Krishna and Bhagwan Shiv manifested, is a matter of great fortune.
Dattatreya Hosabale further explained that Hindu philosophy sees divinity in every individual. The greeting “Namaste” signifies that the divine within one person bows to the divine within another. Worship of nature in all its forms, rivers, trees, animals, and birds, has always been an integral part of Bharatiya culture. While the world today speaks of environmental conservation, Hindu society has practised nature reverence since ancient times. He stressed that protecting and nurturing nature must become a way of life.
Mentioning the global acceptance of yoga and Surya Namaskar, he said yoga belongs not to any one community but to humanity as a whole. Emphasising social harmony, he noted that caste discrimination and untouchability are not the identity of Hindu society. The example of Shri Ram embracing Kevat as a brother reflects the inclusive ideals of Indian culture. Hindu society, he said, stands not to suppress anyone but to remain organised and empowered. As long as unity prevails, no force can harm society.
Describing the family system as the cornerstone of Bharatiya civilisation, he stated, “If the family survives, Bharat survives.” Harmonious relationships within families, preservation of life values, and awareness of civic duties are essential for nation-building. He called for a sense of pride in swadeshi, self-reliance, and Bharat’s language and culture among citizens.
Cultural presentations based on the theme of Panch Parivartan: social harmony, family awareness, swa, environmental protection, and civic duties were showcased. Renowned bhajan singer Prakash Mali also presented devotional renditions.
The programme concluded with Bharat Mata Aarti and the National Anthem. Thousands of citizens from the region participated in the event, conveying a message of Hindu unity and national consciousness.
