It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature is a holistic approach to health and well-being.

    Save India’s Lifelines Proposal for Collaboration “ Major Indian rivers have depleted dramatically in a matter of a few decades. So far, the approach has been just to exploit the rivers, not rejuvenate them. Water resources and soil are being destroyed at such a rate that in another fifteen to twenty years’ time, we may not be able to feed the 1.3 billion people and quench their thirst anymore. The simplest and most effective solution is to increase the tree coverage around the water bodies. This means we have to work towards creating awareness and induce policy changes.” – Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation The Mahanadi River in Orissa, India, ebbs to a trickle during the dry season.

  • RASHTRIYA SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH Status of Our Work
    RASHTRIYA SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH PRESS NOTE BASED ON REPORT by RSS Sarkaryavah Sri Suresh (Bhaiyya) Joshi during Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha ( ABPS 2018 ) HOMAGE : We feel the pain and vacuum when we experience the absence of close associates, beloved ones, and distinguished personalities from social, political, religious, and cultural fields. In the course of time, many such noble personalities have left us for the final abode. Similarly, many brave- hearts sacrificed their lives in the line of duty for protecting the nation or fighting against the terrorists. It is very painful to accept that many of our brethren fell victim to the violence of political intolerance. Many people have left us due to natural calamities and accidents. The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha pays homage to all such departed souls and prays for their eternal peace besides expressing deep condolences towards their family members. May the God Almighty give ‘Sadgati’ to the departed souls. Status of our work Sangh Shiksha Varg and Prathmik Shiksha Varg held in 2017-18 Total Sangh Shiksha Varg (SSV): Report on Shakhas: Shakhas in Telangana: Over 1000 shakhas have increased in Telangana over the last 8 years. Currently, 2412 shakhas are running in 1608 places. In 2017, there were 2302 shakhas in 1495 places. Tour of P. P. Sarsanghchalak ji In the year 2017-18, during the tours of P. P.
