Times are favourable for RSS: Bhagwat

He said that the "uniting Hindu Samaj should be done on priority and it should be taken up as a campaign"

Stating that the current times are "favourable" for RSS, its chief Mohan Bhagwat said the outfit should make it a priority to unite Hindus while at the same time stressed that every faith should be respected as unity in diversity was India's strength.

"The present time is favourable to us, and conditions are conducive so that Karyakarta (swayamsevak) should get to this great work to make Hindustan a Vishwa Guru (world teacher)," Bhagwat said on the concluding day of a five-day workshop of Bharatpur Division RSS unit at Lohagarh Stadium.

Citing Israel's example, the RSS chief said it got independence in 1948 after India and many other nations kept attacking it, but people there were united and committed to the nation building.

Bhagwat said that the "uniting Hindu Samaj should be done on priority and it should be taken up as a campaign".

Exhorting activists to spread the message of the Sangh, he said "take an oath under the flying saffron flag right today and go to every village, street, and city to unite people regardless of their caste, creed, religion, poor or rich, illiterate or literate. Respect every one's faith".

Bhagwat said, "Bharat is mother of every one. Indian culture is a real Hindu Sanskriti. Respecting, protecting and propagating sanatan sanskriti is the main objective of the RSS".

"Unity in diversity is the basis of India's strength. Hence make your efforts to strengthen RSS shakha for country's unity and integrity by providing high-level of culture and values in life in every human-being," he added.
