Chhattisgarh: Mohan Bhagwat offers prayers at Shree Ram Mandir in Raipur on New Year 2026

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat offered prayers at Shree Ram Mandir in Raipur. He framed the RSS centenary as a moment of responsibility, urging social harmony and solutions.

"This is not bravery... it is a moment of responsibility. - Mohan Bhagwat"

Raipur, January 1

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat offered prayers at the Shree Ram Mandir in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, on Thursday.

On Wednesday, on RSS' centenary celebrations, Bhagwat said that Hindu Sammelans are being organised across the country as the Sangh completes 100 years of its journey, stressing that the occasion should not be viewed as an act of "bravery", but as a "moment of responsibility".

"The work of Sangh has completed 100 years, therefore, Hindu Sammelan are being organised across the country," Bhagwat said while addressing a Hindu Sammelan here, adding that the centenary celebrations are not meant for display of power. "This is not bravery," he added.

Recalling the origin of the organisation, the RSS chief said, "Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar formed this Sangh with his blood."

He noted that crises are visible in every field today, but emphasised that merely discussing problems is not the solution. "The stress should be on finding solutions, and not just on discussions," Bhagwat said.

Narrating a story during his address, Bhagwat highlighted what he described as the "present condition of Hindu society" and urged people to introspect. He called upon the gathering to remove discrimination from their minds and work towards greater social harmony.

"We must remove discrimination from minds, inculcate social harmony," he said.

Emphasising linguistic diversity, Bhagwat asserted that all languages spoken in India are national languages and deserve equal respect. He further advocated the use of indigenous products, urging people to support local manufacturing.

Concluding his address, Bhagwat appealed to citizens to follow the Constitution.

On Sunday, Bhagwat, while addressing a gathering in Hyderabad, said that India must once again work towards becoming a 'Vishwaguru', not out of ambition, but because it is the need of the world, emphasising that the time has now come to carry forward the resurgence of Sanatana Dharma.

He cited events from a century ago, noting that around 100 years ago, Yogi Arvind declared that the resurgence of Sanatana Dharma was God's will and that the rise of the Hindu nation was essential to that resurgence.

Respect for all languages and promoting indigenous products are excellent points. As an Indian, we should truly embrace our diversity and support 'Make in India'. His call to follow the Constitution is crucial for unity.

While the emphasis on harmony and solutions is positive, I hope the message of removing discrimination is practiced in letter and spirit at the ground level. Actions speak louder than words. The vision of India as a 'Vishwaguru' is inspiring if it's inclusive.

The RSS completing 100 years is a significant milestone in our national history. Dr. Hedgewar's vision has played a role in shaping modern India. Bhagwat ji's address in Raipur sets a thoughtful tone for the centenary year - focusing on duty and introspection.

Good to see the focus on practical solutions rather than just discussing problems. The resurgence of Sanatana Dharma as a positive, guiding force for the world is a powerful idea. Let's see how this translates into actionable work for social good.

The part about "all languages spoken in India are national languages" is a very balanced and respectful statement. In a country with so many mother tongues, this sentiment promotes true integration. Hope this message reaches every corner.
