Join RSS to know it from within: Mohan Bhagwat to Goans

PANAJI: RSS sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday urged the people of Goa to join the organisation to understand its functioning and if they like it then they can become a karyakarta or else they can quit. He said that today the world is looking at India to show them the way as India’s understanding is accurate.
The RSS sarsanghchalak said that the people who do not know about the RSS think that it is a paramilitary organisation.
The organisation does not have any remote or direct control over any other organisation, he told a public meeting, which was attended by nearly 5,000 persons.
Earlier in the week, Bhagwat presided over the RSS core committee meeting and the national executive in the state.
He said that everyone has to connect with the RSS not to make it big, but to make the country big.
“History will be written tomorrow and if we all do it together, it will be written that society has reached a level that it made the country the world leader. It is our desire that this should be written in history.
“I appeal to you to join the sangh. There are no fees, no rules to join. You can also leave as per your wish, whenever you want. But come for six months or a year and witness the sangh from within. After witnessing, if you believe that what Mohan Bhagwat was saying in his speech about the sangh is true, then you can become a karyakarta. And when you understand that it is correct, you will not be able to go away from the sangh,” Bhagwat said.
He said that the sangh is popular across the world. “Knowing the name of the sangh, seeing sangh and understanding sangh are totally different things. In today’s time, there is no other work being done like that being carried out by the sangh. There is nothing to which it can be compared and understood,” the sarsanghchalak said.
“There are difficulties to understand it also. You cannot understand RSS from far away. This may create many misunderstandings. Now here swayamsevaks performed exercises. If anyone looks at it for the first time, they will think that the RSS is some Akhil Bharatiya Gymkhana. Here everyone is in uniform so without knowing people may say it is a paramilitary organisation. Here all the swayamsevaks sang a song so it may so happen that some may think that it is Akhil Bharatiya Sangeet Shala,” he said.
The RSS sarsanghchalak said that there are over 1.3 lakh swayamsevaks across the country, through various organisations, doing service in the entire country, but the RSS is not a service organisation. They do this work on their own.
“The RSS has given them the thought process and they take inspiration from it and do service to society wherever needed. They have learnt to take everyone together and move ahead from the RSS. Once they grow, they become independent and do not depend on the RSS. Some people think that the RSS has any remote or direct control over them,” he said.
Bhagwat said that the RSS does not want to form an organisation to create pressure in the country, but it wants to bring everyone together. “We have to unite society as a force,” he said.
Bhagwat said that there may be different styles of dressing, food habits, whether we pray or not, but for the last 40 years our DNA is the same. “We may believe anything, but reality is that going by history we are connected to those people who were called Hindus and that is why we have Hindu rashtra,” he said.
Chief minister Pramod Sawant, health minister Vishwajit Rane, tourism minister Rohan Khaunte and others from BJP also attended the meeting in RSS’ khaki uniforms
“My wife and myself are committed to spreading the ideology and the work of RSS; totally inspired by the words of the sarsanghchalak. We will dedicate specific time to work for the sangh, I have been a swayamsevak in my childhood at Vithalapur shakha,” Rane said.
