Guwahati: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, addressed its millions of followers across Bharat (the name for India in several Indian languages) on the occasion of Vijayadashami on 24 October 2023. ( a major Hindu festival celebrated every year) from the Reshimbaug ground in Nagpur of Maharashtra. He emphasized conserving nature by saving water, removing plastics, and increasing greenery in and around the residential complexes. A lifestyle out of sync with nature is producing a string of new physical and mental health issues amid unabashed consumerism. Pollution, global warming, imbalance in seasonal cycles, and the resultant natural disasters are increasing every year as a result of unreasonable exploitation of natural resources, asserted the RSS chief mentor Bhagwat.
Vices and incidents of crime are on the rise. Families are breaking apart, as a sense of individualism deepens in the society, opined the chief mentor of the world’s largest voluntary organization, adding that terrorism, exploitation, and totalitarianism are getting a free run to wreak havoc. It has become abundantly clear that the world cannot counter these problems with its inadequate vision. Therefore, the world is looking towards Bharat expectantly to lead by example and show a new path to peace and prosperity, based on its own Sanatan (eternal) values and Sanskars.
“Let’s strengthen our reliance on Swa (or self), through Swadeshi. Wasteful expenditure ought to stop, too. Employment opportunities in the country should rise, and the country’s money (capital) should be used within, and in the interest of the country itself. Hence, the practice of Swadeshi should start from home. Law and order, and responsibilities as a citizen, should be followed by all. A climate of harmony and cooperation should prevail in the society,” said Sarsanghchalak Bhagwat.
