PUNE: The organisation of Hindus is not against anyone but is for the welfare of the entire world. The pride of being a Hindu represents a life based on peace, truth and justice. The organised strength of Hindu society has never been sanharak (destructive), but has always been sanrakshak (protective), and this will continue to remain its role in the future as well, said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Akhil Bharatiya Karyakarini Sadasya Bhaiyyaji Joshi while addressing the samapan samaroh of the RSS Paschim Maharashtra Prant Sangh Shiksha Varg.
The programme was attended by HEMRL (High Energy Materials Research Laboratory) Group Director and senior scientist Dr Himanshu Shekhar, Vargadhikari Dattatray Garge, Paschim Maharashtra Prant Sanghchalak Prof. Nana Jadhav and Kasba Bhag Sanghchalak Advocate Prashant Yadav.
Bhaiyyaji Joshi said that if there were not a single Muslim or Christian in the world, the work of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh would still have begun, because the objective of the Sangh is not to oppose anyone, but to awaken the positive power of Hindu society. He said that organising the sajjan shakti (righteous and good forces) and bringing social transformation is the basic objective of the Sangh.
He said that the period of upeksha (neglect), upahas (ridicule) and appreciation towards the Sangh has now passed. Today, society itself is participating with the Sangh by standing shoulder to shoulder. It is necessary to take society beyond merely upasana (worship) and towards rashtradharma through conduct and actions. The path to vishwakalyan (global welfare) lies in the progress of Bharat.
Bhaiyyaji Joshi said, “Maharshi Aurobindo called Bharat ‘Mrityunjay Bharat’, while Swami Vivekananda addressed every Indian as an ‘Amritputra’. No power in the world can end Bharat. This is not merely our dream, but a historical truth. Hindu thought is anadi (eternal) and anant (infinite). In the words of Swatantryaveer Savarkar — ‘Anadi main, Anant main, Avadhya main…’ — no one can destroy Hindu thought. This thought is not narrow, but is a carrier of the welfare of the entire world.”
Referring to the centenary journey of the Sangh, he said, “Those who spoke about ending the Sangh themselves disappeared into the pages of history. The Sangh was established in 1925, while the communist movement began in 1926. Today, after a hundred years, even after searching, communism is not visible, whereas the Sangh stands established as a powerful force on the global stage. The reason behind this is the positive vision of the Sangh. Presenting this positive approach inspired by Hindu thought before the world is the objective of the Sangh.”
Senior scientist Dr Himanshu Shekhar said that attending the Sangh Shiksha Varg was a matter of good fortune for him. He said that here an excellent work is being done to connect swayamsevaks with Bharat at the physical, mental and intellectual levels. The role of swayamsevaks will be extremely important in building Viksit Bharat.
In the introductory remarks of the programme, Amod Kalgaonkar informed that 75 shiksharthi participated in this year’s Shiksha Varg. Among them, 52 were from Paschim Maharashtra, 17 from Konkan, 5 from Devgiri and 1 from Vidarbha. For conducting the varg, 11 full-time teachers and 15 swayamsevaks worked as vyavasthapak.
