Expansion to Consolidate and to Serve

Though seems to slow, but steady progress attracted the attention of countrymen. Either during War or during famine, flood etc., swayamsevakas’ are always in the forefront. Thus with relentless base work, able to catch the attention the then Prime Minister Shri Nehru. Appreciating the great work done by my swayamsevaks during China war in 1962, Shri Nehru invited my swayamsevaks to participate in the Republic Day parade celebration in 1963. My growth was to serve the people and to reach the last person. Under the guidance of Shri Guruji, my swayamsevaks rose to the challenge and bravely faced all these adversities stoically. Due to his efforts I was able to spread my wings across the country (Servavyapi), to reach all sects (Servasparshi) and growing strength by strength,  attracted the attention of one and all including great leaders of  Hindu society. Specially, in politics, earlier who were opposing my ideology were joined me. Our swayamsevaks with the spirit of selfless service for the betterment of society, started organizations in all walks of life/ society.  They include, ABVP for students, BMS for Labuor and industrial relations, Vanavasi Kalyana Ashrama to serve Tribal’s and forest dwellers, Bharatiya jana Sangh (now BJP) in politics, Viswa Hindu Parishad in religious areas and so on. Now a days like a Baniyan tree branches themselves grown so big that many a times, general public forget that they are a part of a huge banyan tree. However, these organizations, in spite of their huge growth and independent status in society, never forgot that that they were a undivided part of Sangh, the big family is live example of my uniqueness.  

Shri Balasaheb Degras (5th June 1973 to March 1994) was the successor to Shri Guruji as the 3rd Sarasanghachalk.  He was from Nagpur and also long associate of Dr. Hedgewar. He gave a lot of emphasis on spreading the message that Na Hindu Patito Bhavet, “No Hindu would be considered as fallen, downtrodden and untouchable”. He took Sangha to the poorest, deprived sections of Hindu society. Once again I became the victim of dictatorial action of Mrs. Gandhi, who declared Emergency just to save her position. But my Swayamsevaks took the lead to fought back very strongly and sustained all suffering, oppressions in a brave manner and ensured that this Dictatorial force was defeated democratically.

Revivial of Hindu awareness 

The decade of 80s was the glorious decade of Hindu awareness. Mass movements conducted throughout country to liberate Ramajanma bhoomi. It was also a process of Hindutva consciousness and consolidation within Hindu society. This  successfully culminated in the inauguration of great, glorious new Rama Mandir/Rastra Mandir in Jan 2024  i.e  just a few months before  entering into Centenary  year The successors  to Shri Deoras i.e., Prof Rajendra Sinha Ji (March 1994 – March 2000 ),  Shri K.S. Sudarshan (March 2000 to March 2009) and the Present Sarasnghachalak Shri Mohan Bhagavat ( March 2009 ) continued the predecessors tradition with yuganukul Karya paddati. Success, Recognition, acceptance are order of the day. People from all walks of life attracted by me. The Unity message moved ahead in a big way to every nook and corner of the country and also to all sections of Hindu society.

Vichar Parivar 

Swayamsevaks are active in many areas covering all aspects of society. Sangh, accepted each and every Bharatiya for inclusive development including the groups, sects, language, religioj, region and political affiliation. Even my opponents and worst critics, who are envious of my grand successes have grudgingly begun to accept me. Thus Sangh after passing the stages of negligence, opposition and now the stage of acceptance by majority.  I am also proud of the fact that various independent organizations which are also interdependent and  who are all part of my ideological family, such as ABVP, VHP, BMS, Vidya Bharati, Bharatiya Kisana Sangha, Vanavasi Kalyan Ashrama, Swadeshi Jagaran Manch  etc., have become No .1 leaders in their respective areas varied social areas of work place.  

There are innumerable NGOs managed by  Swayamsevakas’ working in the areas of Social Harmony, spread of knowledge and science, Cow protection, Save Environment, Swadeshi (Atma Nirbara),  up keeping family culture,   (Kutumba Prabodhan), various  Seva activities etc., Swayamsevaks have serving  the society in all aspects in all times.  Sangh Swayamsevakas’ with Nation First thought  is in always in forefront at difficult times such as wars, floods, famine etc., with a view “ Serving a human being is equal to serving the god”.  Hence, I have earned the apt nick name RSS “Ready for selfless service”. Sangh, want to make it clear that my progress and expansion, is only and only for the sake of our great beloved Hindu Unity and for Strong Nation and not to oppose any body. Sangh is  to protect our nation’s territorial integrity, to ensure self- reliance and Swatantra, Swalambi and Swabhimani life for its citizen through democratic means and to annihilate those anti – India forces which would like to break and destroy India. Therefore, Sangha will not take rest until my beloved Motherland Bharat regain its past glory and becomes Viswa Guru once again. Why are you Late?  Why still be an on looker from outside? Join me.
