Which causes to the intoxications and the food which is meant to give us life becomes poison for us. Expressing his views on Language, he said that now a days the use of slang language is increasing and it has become a fashion, before days we folded our hands to welcome someone but now we shake hands and transmit various disease from other body to our body and vice versa, because everybody is the carrier of the diseases. Speaking on Dressing style, he said that dress should be one in which one feels comfortable but now dresses are becoming small and tight which in turns blocks the air system and blood vessels and also put pressure on various vital parts of the body which are in turn harmful and dangerous for the body.

More importantly, he is a product of prachaarak system, a unique institution of RSS. More than his election campaigns, his conduct after becoming the Prime Minister really tells us how a responsible RSS worker and prachaarak responds to any responsibility he is entrusted with. His rise is also illustrative example of submission by author in this book that RSS has been able to design a system that can create ‘extraordinary achievers out of ordinary people’.

    Vivekananda Shila Smarak Ek Bharat Vijayi Bharat Vivekananda Kendra Gratefully Remembers and Invites the Hundreds and Thousands Who or Whose Families Had Contributed to the Building of The Grand Vivekananda Rock Memorial at Kanyakumari in 1970 To Celebrate the 50th Year of the Memorial [1970-2020] And Renew the Association Swami Vivekananda on the last bit of Indian Rock “Sitting on the last bit of Indian rock—I hit upon a plan: Suppose some disinterested sannyasins, bent on doing good to others, go from village to village, disseminating education and seeking in various ways to better the condition of all, down to the last person—can’t that bring forth good in time?” “We, as a nation, have lost our individuality, and that is the cause of all mischief in India. We have to give back to the nation its lost individuality and raise the masses.” (In a letter written to Swami Ramakrishnananda on 19 March 1894) Swami Vivekananda’s mission for rejuvenation of Bharat began with the plan he had hit upon when he sat on “the last bit of Indian rock”. Now, thanks to the invaluable contribution from all of you, a beautiful memorial - to recall Swami Vivekananda beginning his mission for India - now stands on that last bit of rock. The Memorial, built by a truly national effort put together by the monumental work of Sri Eknath Ranade; the man behind the mighty work, was dedicated to the nation in September 1970. 3 As Swami Vivekananda had his inspiration from the rock, Eknath Ranade took inspiration from the memorial built on the rock to found the Vivekananda Kendra which has now grown into a mighty spiritually oriented service mission manned by thousands of karyakartas.

  • 'A Battle Between Hindutva and Hinduism Is Coming' | the Indian
    ‘A battle between Hindutva and Hinduism is comingʼ | The Indian Express 8/28/18, 1217 PM ‘A battle between Hindutva and Hinduism is coming’ In a wide-ranging conversation, Walter Andersen speaks of the changing nature of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, how it was influenced by its different sarsangchalaks and the challenges that lie ahead of the organisation Walter Andersen is on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University, Washington, and Tongji University, Shanghai. Walter Andersen is, perhaps, the only scholar to have observed, or studied, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for nearly five decades. In intellectual circles, it is normally believed that as an organisation, the RSS is https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/books/a-battle-between-hindutva-and-hinduism-is-coming-walter-andersen-rss-5301109/ Page 1 of 14 ‘A battle between Hindutva and Hinduism is comingʼ | The Indian Express 8/28/18, 1217 PM impervious and impenetrable. Its functioning is not available for scholarly scrutiny, unless one happens to be an insider or a firm sympathiser. That is why the publication of The RSS: A View to the Inside, a new book Andersen has co-written with Sridhar Damle, is a true intellectual event (The duo had also produced a book, Brotherhood in Saffron, three decades back). Andersen is on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University, Washington, and Tongji University, Shanghai, and before that, he was a leading South Asia specialist of the US State Department for over two decades. At a Gurgaon hotel where he is staying, he recently spoke with Ashutosh Varshney, professor of Political Science, Brown University and contributing editor, The Indian Express.

  • Play Is Fundamental to All Mammalian Life. It Is How the Young Learn To
    Play is fundamental to all mammalian life. It is how the young learn to cooperate, to fight, to hunt, to build a sense of belonging, to create ‘in- groups’ and ‘out-groups’, to build strength and to build courage. Sangh Sandesh 2 Life should not be like a person who goes to a huge library, sees so many books, reads none and gathers no knowledge. “A rolling stone gathers no moss” they say. Only fortunate people decide their goal at the dawn of their life. They have the sat- isfaction in the evening of life, that, they had not lived vaguely, and wasted time in searching for the goal. Life should be like an arrow hitting the target directly and not going off the mark. Life is like the game of Kabaddi. One can show their skill and play a fruitful game only as long as the breath lasts. Otherwise one moves about here and there, shifts, dances and returns empty handed. Futile is the play. One must have the full satisfaction of having accomplished one’s goal when one breathes one’s last. Otherwise, embittered by frustration, one will exclaim “life’s morning and noon have already gone, the evening has crept in and now the sun is about to set. What have I gained?” by Eknath Ranade, Sadhana of Service 3 Contents 04 24 Namaste The play of mortality Editorial team Mahendra Lad “To play is to enjoy the breadth and depth “My son quickly dropped the equipment of human imagination.” back in the car and took me straight to A&E Reception.” 06 28 Lila - The cosmic play Walking amongst giants Dr Rishi Handa, PhD Yajur Shah interviews Zaverchand ji Shah “Jyotisa allows us to gain an insight into how these cosmic archetypes of the subtle “We eventually found one place – in fact it world manifest through gross forms of was a jungle!

  • Story of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
    Story of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) by Walter K. Andersen and Shridhar D. Damle Reproduced by Sani H. Panhwar Story of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) by Walter K. Andersen and Shridhar D. Damle Reproduced by Sani H. Panhwar About the Book and Authors Hindu revivalism, a growing force in India, is rooted in the belief that Hinduism is endangered. This perception comes from many sources: the political assertiveness of minority groups like the Sikhs and Muslims, efforts to convert Hindus to other faiths, suspicions that the political authorities are "pandering" to minority groups, and the belief that "foreign" political and religious ideologies undermine community bonds. This book1 focuses on the best-organized and largest group committed to Hindu revivalism in India—the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (the RSS). Tracing the growth of the RSS since its formation in the mid-1920s, the authors examine its ideology and training system. They argue that the strength of the RSS lies in its ability to develop close bonds among its members and to sustain these links when members join the various RSS affiliate groups. The swayamsevaks (members) are the steel frame of the "family" of organizations around the RSS that work in the political arena, in social welfare, in the media, and among students, laborers, and Hindu religious groups. The symbiotic links between the RSS and the "family" are maintained by recruiting into the affiliates RSS members who have already demonstrated organizational skills. This superb training system is likely to serve the RSS well as it reaches out to a growing circle of individuals and groups buffeted by change and in search of a new community identity.
