JAMMU, June 29: The concluding function of 20 day -long Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Pratham Varash Pratikshan was held at Ved Mandir here this evening in which the newly trained Sangh volunteers took part and displayed their activities.
Attired in white dress and black caps, the newly trained Sangh volunteers took part in march past, drill and cultural and other physical activities including Lathmar.
The former Director General, DRDO, Dr Sudershan Kumar was the chief guest who presided over the function. The senior functionaries of Sangh from the State were also present on the occasion while Mahant Rameshwar Dass Ji, Northern Region, Prachar Parmukh of RSS was the main speaker on the occasion.
Addressing the programme, Dr Sudershan Kumar highlighted the role of Sangh in nation building since its formation in 1925 by its founder Sarsanghchalak, Dr Keshaw Rao Baliram Headgewar at Nagpur in Maharashtra.
He said since then Sangh is devoted in service of nation and its volunteers are working selflessly for the national cause. He said it is after 94 years of its formation that the seed sown by Dr Headgewar has emerged as a giant tree and the BJP which is its political wing is presently ruling the entire country.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working for 18 hours a day for the nation and it is because of the disciplined life and teachings of Sangh. Such a dedication and discipline can’t be seen in any other organization.
He said there are many challenges before the nation and Prime Minster has himself said this. But it is only Sangh which can face these challenges and take country to heights and fulfill the dream of millions of people of the country to make India Vishav Guru again under the leadership of PM Modi.
He said Sangh does not believe in casteism or regionalism but for it every Indian belonging to any caste or region is one.
In his address Mahant Rameshwar Dass threw light on the life of Dr Headgewar whom he termed a great visionary and patriot. He said the missions started by him in 1925 bore fruits in 1999 when BJP led by Vajpayee came to power in country for the first time and later in 2014 the party managed to form a Government on its own under the leadership of Narendra Modi.
He said Dr Headgewar belonged to a humble family and he struggled a lot in his life for keeping nation together and uniting the Hindu Samaj all over country. His struggle bore fruit today and Sangh as well as BJP is becoming stronger and stronger day by day.
He also highlighted the role of other Sangh Sarsanghchalaks including Guru Golewalkar and said that both Dr Headgewar and Guru Golewalkar were great visionaries who were concerned for nation and its welfare only. For them mother India was every thing and they launched a mission for Akhand Bharat.
