Dharma, not religion, is life and inspiration of India: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said that the 'Hindu Dharma' is not something newly discovered or created, but something recognised as belonging to all humanity, making it a religion for the world.

Bhagwat described ‘Dharma’ as universal, eternal (Sanatan), and intrinsic to the existence of the universe.  

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday stated that ‘Dharma’ represents the essence of India and not religion. Addressing the Vijaya Dashami celebrations at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur, he noted that while there are many religions, the underlying spirituality that connects them is what defines the ‘Dharma’.

“Dharma is the Sva (self) of India and not religion. 

There are many religions, but the religion and spirituality behind these religions, which we call 'religion at the top,' is what Dharma represents. 

"Dharma is the life of India; it is our inspiration. That's the reason we have history, and for that, people have sacrificed themselves," he said.

"It is essential for the people to have noble attributes, character and firmness on Dharma to create an environment as that of Ram Rajya. To instill such values and sense of responsibility in everyone, the most revered Shri Shri Anukulchandra Thakur had initiated the ‘Satsang’ campaign. 

"Born in Pabna, present day Bangladesh and then North Bengal, Shri Shri Anukulchandra Thakurji was a homeopathy doctor and was initiated into spiritual practice by his own mother. The natural process of character building and spirit of Sewa among people who approached him with personal problems became 'Satsang'. 

"It was registered as a charitable institution in 1925 CE. The headquarters of 'Satsang' at Devghar (Jharkhand) will celebrate the centenary of his work from 2024 to 2025. This campaign is moving forward with many initiatives of Sewa, Sanskar and development," the RSS chief said. 

He also said : "The 150th year of the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda will begin from the coming 15th November. 

This 150th anniversary will remind us of the inspiration of the Ulgulan movement initiated by Bhagwan Birsa Munda to liberate the tribal brothers from slavery and exploitation, freedom of motherland from foreign domination, protection of existence, identity and Sva-Dharma". 

"It is because of the glorious sacrifice of Bhagwan Birsa Munda that our tribal brethren now have a firm foundation for self-respect, development and contribution towards nation."

"We remember such heroic personalities who have devoted their lives for the welfare of Bharat, Dharma, Sanskruti and society with utmost honesty and selflessness as they have not just worked for our welfare, but have also presented a model of exemplary conduct for us through their own lives. 

"These people shared some common things though they worked in different fields and varying periods. It was in their nature to be selfless, without animosity and fearless. Whenever the duty of struggle presented itself, they carried it out with full strength and necessary sternness". 

"But they never harboured hatred or enmity. They were known for their splendid character. Therefore their presence was intimidating for the wicked and reassuring for the righteous. 

Today, the situation is expecting the same kind of conduct from us. Whether the situation is favourable or unfavourable, such firmness of personal and national character becomes the foundation of strength for the victory of auspiciousness and righteousness," he said.

With the help of science and technology, we have made the life extremely comfortable. But on the other hand, the conflicts of our selfish interests are pushing us towards destruction. 

"Everyone is concerned about how far the conflict between Hamas and Israel in the West Asia (Middle East) will spread. In our country too, along with hopes and aspirations, challenges and problems also exist. Traditionally, both of these are discussed in as much detail as possible in the Vijayadashmi speech of Sangh". 

"Everyone feels that Bharat as a nation has become stronger and more respected in the world with an enhanced credibility in the past few years. Naturally, respect for the ideas inherent in our tradition and sentiment has increased in many areas. The world is undoubtedly accepting our sense of universal brotherhood, our views towards the environment, our yoga etc." 

The sense of self-pride is increasing in the society, especially in the younger generation. We are gradually moving ahead in many areas. 

All elections including Jammu and Kashmir have been completed peacefully. 

There is a general confidence that youth, women, entrepreneurs, farmers, workers, soldiers, administration, government, all will remain committed to their respective tasks. 

"It is because of the efforts made by all these people in the last few years, inspired by the national interest, that Bharat's image, power, fame and position on the world stage is constantly improving. 

But as if to test our resolve, some sinister conspiracies have appeared before us which need to be understood properly."
