RSS Built by Swayamsevaks, Not Anyone’s Krupa: Bhagwat Nagpur: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat emphasized the organization’s growth over the past century, attributing its success to the collective efforts of swayamsevaks rather than external factors. Speaking at the unveiling of the book Rashtra Swaradhana at Dr Hedgewar Smruti Mandir, Bhagwat stated, “The organisation stood because of the swayamsevaks, not due to anyone else’s ‘krupa’ (grace). Neither did it stop because of someone’s disfavour.” The event marked the launch of a volume documenting the history and evolution of the RSS’s Nagpur Mahanagar Ghosh, a musical band tradition within the Sangh. Bhagwat clarified that the RSS does not seek credit for its work, stating, “The intention is not to inscribe achievements in our own name in golden words, but to attribute them to society.” He urged members to align “voice with voice and step with step,” drawing on a Sanskrit phrase, “Deva bhagam yatha purve…,” to underscore the importance of unity. He likened the gods’ achievements to the need for coordinated societal effort, asserting that the RSS’s strength lies in its collective strength. Highlighting the Sangh’s 100-year journey as both “romanchkari” (thrilling) and “udbodhak” (enlightening), Bhagwat noted its history offers lessons for future work. He emphasized the role of the Ghosh within the Sangh’s structure, stating that all divisions aim to inculcate “sanskar” (values). The musical wing, he explained, adds discipline and aesthetic appeal to physical training, ensuring public presentations by swayamsevaks are coordinated and engaging. Bhagwat stressed the importance of maintaining quality standards in such activities, calling for continuous self-assessment.#rss #mohan_bhagwat #dr_hedgewar_smruti_mandir #nagpur_mahanagar_ghosh #swayamsevaks
