On the eve of its Centenary year, the Rastreeya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has declared that it is committed to building a harmonious and organized Hindu society, for World Peace and Prosperity. In a resolution passed at its three-day Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) meetings in Bengaluru, it stated that since time immemorial, Hindu society has been immersed in a very long and incredible journey for the objective of achieving human unity and universal well-being.
With the blessings and efforts of Saints, Seers and great personalities, including glorious women, our Rashtra has been able to keep marching ahead despite several upheavals, it said. The meetings were guided by RSS Sar Sanghachalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat and Sar Karyavaha Dattatreya Hosabale.
Referring to evolution of this largest voluntary organization in the world, it recalled that in 1925, Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar initiated the RSS to eradicate the weaknesses that had crept into our nation’s life over the period of time and to take Bharat to the pinnacle of glory (Param Vaibhav) as an organized, virtuous and a powerful Rashtra.
Sowing the seeds of Sangh work, Dr Hedgewar evolved a unique man-making (vyakti-nirman) methodology in the form of daily Shakha, which turned into selfless penance for rebuilding the nation in tune with our eternal traditional values and ethos. In his lifetime itself, this initiative had spread nationwide.
The process of building contemporary time consistent systems in various walks of national life, in the light of eternal philosophy started under the visionary leadership of the Second Sarsanghachalak Pujaniya Sri Guruji (Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar).
In this journey of hundred years, it said that with the values imbued in daily-shakha, Sangh has earned the unwavering trust and affection of Society. During this period, Sangh Swayamsevaks have strived to carry everyone along with the strength of love and affection, rising above honours and insults, likes and dislikes.
“On the occasion of the Sangh’s centenary year, it is our duty to remember the Pujya Saints and the righteous people (Sajjan shakti) in the society whose blessings and cooperation have been of great strength amidst all odds, the selfless Karyakartas who have devoted their lives and the Swayamsevak families who have been immersed in silent dedication” it added.
The resolution said that Bharat being an ancient culture with rich traditions has the experiential wisdom to create a harmonious world. Our thought protects the entire humanity from divisive and self-destructive tendencies and ensures peace and a sense of oneness among living and non-living beings.
It asserted its belief that Hindu society will be able to fulfil its global responsibility effectively only on the basis of an organised and collective life, full of self-confidence founded on Dharma.
Therefore, it resolved to build a model society following harmonious practices rejecting all types of discrimination, promoting value-based families founded on eco-friendly lifestyles and creating a society fully immersed in selfhood and committed to civic duties.
It felt that this will enable us to construct a strong national life, materially prosperous and replete with spirituality, mitigating the challenges and solving all the problems of the society.
The ABPS resolves to present a role-model before the world of a harmonious and organised Bharat, taking the entire society together under the leadership of righteous people (Sajjan shakti).
