Guwahati, India: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, while gracing an intellectual (Bouddhik) program on Sunday morning, pointed out that the Swayamsevaks work as catalysts for the welfare of the society. Dr. Bhagwat commented that RSS is not a typical organization that inspires the Swayamsevaks to dedicate their time, energy, and space towards safeguarding Sanatan culture and the nation.
While addressing a large number of Swayamsevaks at the premises of the South Point School in the Barsapara locality on 23 February 2025, the RSS chief asserted that the Swayamsevaks come to work for the society facing all kinds of difficulties and RSS Sarsanghchalak advocates for promoting mother tongues.
Organized by the RSS’s Mahanagar Shakha, where over one thousand Swayamsevaks assembled to listen to Dr. Bhagwat, he defined five important issues towards social transformations, namely– social harmony, civic duties, environment protection, spirit of selfhood, and values of the ideal family (Kutumba Prabodhan). Dr Bhagwat insisted that only the sustained communal harmony among the various ethnic groups in society and goodwill among the relatives and clans will lead the nation towards the positive direction and outcome. He urged the Swayamsevaks to enhance the friendship among the different sections in the society irrespective of their castes, creeds, and regions or, the languages they possess.
The Sarsanghchalak also made an important statement that all Hindus should share the same temples, crematoriums, and also water for various uses. He opined that society as a whole should take the responsibility to conserve water, plant saplings and avoid using plastic utensils to protect the environment. Every Bharatiya (Indian) should pursue food items, housing, travel, and even languages that match their self expression, stated Dr. Bhagwat, adding that everyone should converse in mother tongues instead of using foreign languages in their day-to-day activities.
He reiterated that the citizens should follow the traditional social norms even though all rules may not be termed as laws. In the presence of RSS’s Uttar Asom Pranta Sanghchalak, Dr. Bhupesh Sharma, Guwahati Mahanagar Sanghchalak, and other dignitaries, Dr. Bhagwat asserted that a healthy, strong, and progressive society should be our collective forte. Sarsanghchalak Bhagwat, who addressed a Rashtra Sevika Samiti meeting at IITG in north Guwahati on Saturday, will attend a few meetings with RSS Pracharaks and others in the city, before leaving for Arunachal Pradesh on Wednesday for his next phase of the Prabas (tour) undertaken coinciding with RSS’s centenary year, stated Kishor Shivam, Prachar Pramukh of RSS’s Uttar Asom Pranta.
