తీర్థరాజమైన ప్రయాగలో, కుంభమేళాలో ఫిబ్రవరి 6వ తేదీన సాధుసంతుల సమావేశం జరిగింది. అయోధ్య రామ జన్మభూమి స్థలంలో రామమందిర నిర్మాణానికి ఆ సమావేశం తీర్మానం చేసింది. తీర్మాన పాఠం...
త్రేతాయుగంలో ప్రభు శ్రీరామచంద్రుడు జనజాగరణ కోసం గ్రామాలు, అరణ్యాలు తిరిగాడు. అదేవిధంగా ఈ రోజున అయోధ్యలోని రామజన్మభూమి స్థలంలో రామమందిర నిర్మాణానికి జనజాగరణ చేయవలసి ఉందని రామభక్తులకు సాధుసంత్ ల కేంద్రకార్యకారిణి మండలి పిలుపునిచ్చింది. 2013 ఏప్రిల్ 11 నుండి మే 13 వరకు దేశవ్యాప్తంగా అన్ని గ్రామాలు, నగరాలలో జనజాగరణ, రామనామ జపానుష్ఠానం చేయాలని పిలుపునిచ్చింది. ప్రతిరోజు "శ్రీరామ్ జయరామ్, జయజయరామ్' మంత్రాన్ని 108 x 11 సార్లు జపించి ఆధ్యాత్మిక శక్తిని పెంచుకోవాలని, అదే రామమందిర నిర్మాణానికి దారి చూపిస్తుందని వివరించారు. 

1994 సంవత్సరంలో భారతదేశ సర్వోచ్ఛ న్యాయాలయం భారత ప్రభుత్వానికి ఒక సూచననిస్తూ -"1528కి పూర్వం వివాదిత స్థలంలో దేవాలయం కాని, హిందువుల భవనం కాని ఉన్నట్లయితే దానిని పరిగణనలోకి తీసుకొని అందుకు అనుగుణంగా నిర్ణయం చేయాలని" చెప్పిన విషయం, దానికి ప్రభుత్వం అంగీకరించిన విషయాన్ని గుర్తు చేయాలి. గతంలో ఆ స్థలంలో దేవాలయం ఉన్నట్లయితే ఆ స్థలాన్ని హిందువులకు ఇచ్చివేసేందుకు ముస్లిం నేతలు కూడా ఒప్పుకున్నారు. 2010 డిసెంబర్ 30న అలహాబాద్ హైకోర్టు ఇచ్చిన తీర్పు ప్రకారం 1528కి పూర్వం ఆ స్థలంలో హిందూ దేవాలయం ఉన్నట్లు తెలుస్తున్నది. రామలల్లా విగ్రహాలు ఇప్పుడు ఎక్కడైతే ఉన్నాయో అదే రామజన్మభూమి. ఈ రామజన్మభూమిలో గల ఆలయాన్ని 1528లో బాబరు సేనాని కూలగొట్టి అక్కడ మూడు గుమ్మటాలతో ఒక కట్టడం నిర్మించారు.  

అలహాబాద్ హైకోర్టు తీర్పులో ఆ స్థలంలో గతంలో దేవాలయం ఉన్నదని నిర్ధారణయ్యింది. కాబట్టి కేంద్రం, ముస్లిం పెద్దలు ఆ స్థలాన్ని హిందువులకు ఇచ్చి మాట నిలబెట్టుకోవాలి. రాబోయే పార్లమెంట్ సమావేశాల్లో దేవాలయ నిర్మాణం కోసం చట్టం చేసి ఆ స్థలాన్ని రామజన్మభూమి న్యాస్ కు ఇచ్చివేయాలని డిమాండ్ చేస్తున్నాము. ప్రస్తుతం గుడారాలలో ఉన్న రామలల్లా విగ్రహాలను చూస్తున్నప్పుడు హిందువులకు చాలా బాధ కలుగుతున్నది. భవ్యమందిర నిర్మాణానికి హిందువులు ఎంతో ఆతురతతో ఎదురు చూస్తున్నారు. గతంలో భారత ప్రభుత్వం రామజన్మభూమి చుట్టూ ఉన్న 70 ఎకరాల భూమిని సేకరించింది. ఆ స్థలము రామలీలా భూములు. రామజన్మభూమికి సంబంధించిన సాంస్కృతిక భూభాగం అది. ఆ స్థలములో విదేశీ దురాక్రమణదారుడైన బాబరు పేరుతో కాని, ముస్లిం మత చిహ్నం కాని ఏదైనా నిర్మాణం చేయటానికి చేసే ఏ ప్రయత్నాన్నైనా మేము వ్యతిరేకిస్తాం. అయోధ్య హిందువుల సాంస్కృతిక కేంద్రం. దానిని పరిరక్షించాలి. రామజన్మభూమి స్థలంలో రామమందిర నిర్మాణానికి గతంలో ఆరున్నర కోట్ల మంది ప్రజలు నిధులు సమర్పించారు. మందిర ఎలా నిర్మించాలనే వివరాలను రామజన్మభూమి న్యాస్ తయారుచేసి కార్యశాలలో భద్రపరిచారు. అందులో ఉన్న విధంగా రామజన్మభూమి న్యాస్ ద్వారానే అక్కడ మందిరం నిర్మాణం జరుగుతుంది.

హిందువుల మనోభావాలను గౌరవిస్తూ అయోధ్యలోని రామజన్మభూమిలో రామమందిర నిర్మాణానికి అన్ని రాజకీయ పక్షాలు సహకరించి పార్లమెంటులో చట్టం చేయాలని మార్గదర్శక మండలి పిలుపునిచ్చింది. మందిర నిర్మాణానికి పార్లమెంటులో చట్టం చేయకపోతే సాధుసంతుల నేతృత్వంలో హిందూ సమాజం ఆందోళనకు దిగుతుంది. దానికి ప్రభుత్వం పూర్తి బాధ్యత వహించవలసి వస్తుందని హెచ్చరిస్తున్నాము.

హిందువు ఎవరికీ వ్యతిరేకం కాదు

ఇది హిందురాష్ట్రం. హిందూ భావాలు లేనివారు ప్రపంచంలో కొందరు ఉన్నారు. మన సమాజంలో కూడా ఉన్నారు. వారిలో కొందరు హిందుత్వాన్ని వక్రంగా విమర్శిస్తుంటారు. విమర్శించనీయండి. నష్టం లేదు.

'హిందు'వును గురించి భ్రాంతి కలగచేయడానికి రకరకాల ప్రయత్నాలు సాగుతున్నాయి. అనేక స్వార్థాలకు లోబడి, అనేక రంగాలలో, హిందు అంటే ముస్లిం వ్యతిరేకి అనీ, క్రైస్తవ వ్యతిరేకి అనీ, క్రమేపీ సిక్కులకు, జైనులకు, హరిజనులకు వ్యతిరేకి అని ప్రచారం చేస్తున్నారు. అలా ప్రచారం చేసేవాళ్లకు, వారి వారి రాజకీయాది స్వార్థాలున్నాయి కనుక అంటున్నారు. ధర్మాన్ని, సంస్కృతిని, చరిత్రను చదివి అనడం కాదు. ప్రపంచంలో ఇస్లాం క్రైస్తవ మతాలు పుట్టక ముందు నుండే హిందూ ఆలోచనాపద్ధతి, జీవన విధానం మనదేశంలో ఉన్నాయి. మరి హిందు అంటే ముస్లిం వ్యతిరేకి అవడమేమిటి? అలాగే సిక్కు, జైన మార్గాలు హిందుత్వంలోనివే. హిందుత్వం సిక్కు, జైనులకు వ్యతిరేకమనుకోవడం మన కాళ్లను మన చేతులతో నరుక్కోవడమే. హిందుత్వం వీటికి వ్యతిరేకమెలా అవుతుంది? ఇవన్నీ అల్పబుద్ధుల నుంచి పుట్టిన విమర్శలు. ఈ విమర్శల్లో నిజం లేదు. హిందువు ఎవరికీ వ్యతిరేకం కాదు. ఇది పూర్తిగా భావాత్మకం. వ్యతిరేకాత్మకం కాదు.

RSS condemns attacks on Hindus in Pak-Bangla: RSS Gen Sec Bhaiyyaji Joshi at ABPS Press Meet

RSS General Secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi addressed media on the concluding day of  ABPS at Jaipur.

 

RSS General Secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi addressing the media. RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Dr Manmohan Vaidya also seen

  

Jaipur 17^th March: Sarkaryawah Shri Bhaiyyaji  Joshi told the reporters that Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha expresses serious concern over the recent activities such as conditions of Hindus in neighboring countries, plight of women in the country, influx of Muslims, cruelty of Pakistan in the bordering areas of Bharat etc.

ABPS condemns the recent attacks on Hindus including Bhuddists in Bangladesh at their places of worship by the fundamentalists groups like notoriously anti-Hindu and anti-Bharat Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh etc. This has become a phenomenon in Bangladesh for last several decades. The Hindus and other minorities have been facing the brunt of Islamic fury for no fault of theirs time and again.

The persecution and helplessness is forcing thousands to flee for their lives and dignity into Bharat. Such Bangladeshi Hindus and Chakmas have been staying in West Bengal and Assam as refugees for decades on and newer ones are joining them every time there is fresh violence in Bangladesh.

He told that at present Bharat is facing some crucial challenges which should to be tackled with as early as possible. 60 years after the partition of Bharat, from both East (Bangaladesh) and West Pakistan, even now lakhs of Hindus are taking asylum in the country because of worsening conditions of Hindus in the respective countries and are living a very constrained life.

ABPS insists that it is the responsibility of the Government of Bharat to challenge Pakistan and Bangladesh on the issue of violation of Nehru-Liaquat pact of 1950 which expressly states that minorities on both the side would be accorded full protection and citizenship rights. Disappearance of millions of Hindus cant’ be simply brushed aside by invoking sovereignty principle.

These two countries need to be questioned on the continuous influx of Hindu into Bharat. While not a single member of the so-called minority community has ever gone over to these countries. The Hindu population of East and West Pakistan at the time of partition was 28% and 11% respectively whereas Muslim population of what became truncated Bharat was 8%. Today while the Muslim population in Bharat has risen to 14% the Hindu population in Bangladesh has come down to less than 10% and in Pakistan to less than 2%.

We demand that the Government should take steps to ensure they get basic necessities to lead a good and decent life. Government should draft a National Refugee Relief and Rehabilitation Policy ensuring dignified living conditions for all Hindu refugee from these two countries pending their return with safety and honour to their respective countries.

Compensation should be demanded in appropriate form from Bangladesh and Pakistan for the Hindus displaced from their respective countries. Government should also demand international institutes like UNHRC, UNHCR etc to play a role in ensuring safety and honour of the Hindus and other minorities in the countries.

Talking about the conditions of women in Bharat, Bhaiyyaji told the reports that the plight of a woman in Bharat at present is a very serious issue and corrective steps need to be taken on an urgent basis. He also told that the reduction of age for consensual sex to 16 has been a major disappointment.

RSS ABPS Resolution-1:Address the concerns of the persecuted Hindus of Bangladesh and Pakistan

March 17, 2013: Jaipur RSS ABPS Baitak

RESOLUTION 1

The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha expresses serious concern over endless persecution of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh resulting in large scale continuous influx of them as refugees into Bharat. It is a matter great shame and sorrow that these hapless Hindus are being forced to lead pathetic lives both at their respective places as well as in Bharat.

The ABPS condemns the recent attacks on Hindus including Buddhists in Bangladesh and their places of worship by the fundamentalist groups like the notoriously anti-Hindu and anti-Bharat Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh etc. This has become a phenomenon in Bangladesh for last several decades. The Hindus and other minorities have been facing the brunt of Islamic fury for no fault of theirs time and again. The persecution and helplessness is forcing thousands to flee for their lives and dignity into Bharat. Such Bangladeshi Hindus and Chakmas have been staying in West Bengal and Assam as refugees for decades on and newer ones are joining them everytime there is fresh violence in Bangladesh.

The ABPS draws the attention of the nation towards the plight of the Hindus in Pakistan too. All available reports suggest that the Hindus in Pakistan lead most wretched lives deprived of security, dignity and human rights. Constant attacks on Hindus including Sikhs have become the order of the day. Forced conversions, abductions, forced marriages, rapes, killings and destruction of places of worship have become a part of the persecuted lives of the Hindus there. No constitutional entity of Pakistan comes to their rescue. As a result the Hindus of Pakistan too are forced to flee to Bharat seeking refuge.

The ABPS wishes to remind the government, political, intellectual and social leadership of Bharat that these hapless Hindus of Bangladesh and Pakistan have not become victims of Islamic persecution out of their own volition. It is a consequence of the utterly tragic and irrational partition of our motherland in 1947. The Partition of Bharat was thrust upon the innocent Hindus of Pakistan and Bangladesh by the political leadership. Overnight their motherland became foreign to them. It is a travesty that these unfortunate Hindus are paying the price of their lives for the omissions and commissions of their past political masters.
The ABPS calls upon the Government of Bharat to revisit the entire issue of Hindu refugees and Hindu citizens of Pakistan and Bangladesh. The government can’t shy away stating that it is an internal matter of the respective governments. The Nehru-Liaqat pact of 1950 had expressly stated that the minorities on both sides would be accorded full protection and citizenship rights. In Bharat every Constitutional measure was invoked to accord not only protection and security but also many special provisions amounting to appeasement in favour of the so-called minorities. They are well-placed in our country today in terms of their demographic, economic, educational and social status.

On the contrary the Hindus of Bangladesh and Pakistan have been subjected to continuous persecution resulting in severe depletion of numbers, absolute poverty, human rights abuse and migration. The Hindu population of East and West Pakistan at the time of the Partition was 28% and 11% respectively where as the Muslim population of what became truncated Bharat was 8%. Today while the Muslim population in Bharat has risen to 14% the Hindu population in Bangladesh has come down to less than 10% and in Pakistan to less than 2%.

The ABPS insists that it is the responsibility of the Government of Bharat to challenge Pakistan and Bangladesh on the issue of violation of Nehru-Liaqat Pact conditions. Disappearence of millions of Hindus can’t simply be brushed aside by invoking sovereignty principle. These two countries need to be questioned on the continuous influx of Hindu refugees into Bharat. While not a single member of the so-called minority community has even gone over to these countries from Bharat as a refugee millions have crossed over to this side and are continuing to do so.

In view of this heart-wrenching scenario the ABPS urges the Government of Bharat to initiate new discourse on the question of Hindus living in these two countries, which is markedly different from Hindus living in other countries. The Government must:

1. exert pressure on the governments of Bangladesh and Pakistan to ensure security of the Hindus there;
2. draft a National Refugee Relief & Rehabilitation Policy ensuring dignified living conditions for all Hindu refugees from these two countries pending their return with safety and honour to their respective countries;
3. demand compensation in appropriate form from Bangladesh and Pakistan for the Hindus displaced from their respective countries; and
4. demand international institutions like the UNHCR, UNHRC etc to play a role in ensuring safety and honour of the Hindus and other minorities in these countries.

The ABPS is compelled to state that the apathy of our Government to the plight of these people is only due to the fact that they are Hindus. The countrymen should to come out strongly against this callous and cavalier attitude. The entire nation needs to stand by the right of security, honour and livelihood of each and every Hindu living in Pakistan and Bangladesh including those who have been pushed out of those countries and become refugees.

RSS Sarkaryavah's Statement on current situation in the country

Statement of Shri Bhaiyyaji Joshi, General Secretary, RSS on the current situation in the country

Date 16-03-2013

 The economic crisis aggravated by the myopic policies of the Government and neglect of the Agriculture, SSIs and such other employment oriented sectors is emerging as a serious cause of concern for the country. The growth rate of manufacturing sector has nose - dived to the lowest ever level since Independence. Growing unemployment due to this decline, unabated price rise, widening deficit in foreign trade and growing dominance of the foreign companies over the country’s industry, trade and commerce are pushing us to a grave economic crises and foreign dependence. Besides, the growing scarcity of resources for Agriculture, Defence and Public Welfare on account of fiscal crisis is also a matter of serious concern.

 Growing incidents of suicides by the farmers due to neglect of agriculture, dependence of increasing number of farmers on Contract Farming and the irrational obduracy of the Government in Land Acquisition matters, etc. are pushing the life of crores of farmers into grave crisis, besides, affecting Food Security of the country.

 It is a matter of grave concern that multi-lateral trade agreements and free trade agreements have been restricting the Government in taking decision in all areas in national interest and leaving it without option. In the given circumstances urgent initiative is needed for restructuring the economy for self reliant development.

 Rivers like Ganga and Yamuna on the one hand are held as centres of profound reverence, and on the other hand they sustain the livelihood of crores of people besides sustaining ecological order of a large part of the country. The Government’s attempts to obstruct flow of these rivers, its neglect of keeping them pollution free and its apathy towards the popular river protection movements by ignoring their sentiments are also matters of grave concern. The RSS welcomes all these popular movements.

 On the other hand, river water disputes, like that of Cauvery, are also a matter of grave concern. Sharing of river water amongst the States must be done in a judicious and harmonious manner in the context of larger public good.

 Likewise, the Ram Setu, besides being an object of faith for crores of Hindus, is effectively safeguarding the rare Thorium reserves, abundantly available in the region. The people in the country will never accept the obstinate attempt of the Government to go ahead with the Setu Samudram project by destroying the Ram Setu.

 In the past as well, the Government had to give up before the wrath of the Ram Bhaktas, its attempt to start the work to build a shipping canal by destroying the Ram Setu. The affidavit filed by the Government in the Supreme Court, declining to adopt the alternative alignment, suggested by the Pachouri Committee raises the questions about its intentions.

We urge the Government to respect the popular sentiments and dare not touch the Ram Setu, else it will once again become a target of massive public fury. On all such issues, the Government should act in national interest, keeping in view the public sentiments.

Statement on sufferings of Srilankan Tamils

Statement of Sarkaryavah Shri Bhayyaji Joshi on
SUFFERINGS OF THE SRI LANKAN TAMILS

   Date: 16 March 2013 

 

Around this time last year, just before the last meeting of the UNHRC at Geneva, we had issued a statement calling upon the Government of Sri Lanka to proactively take steps to alleviate the sufferings of the Tamils of that country and also to ensure proper rehabilitation, security and political rights to them. I am constrained to observe that one year down the line there has not been much improvement in the ground situation. If anything, the suspicions of the world community over the intentions of the Government of Sri Lanka have further deepened.

I take this opportunity to once again remind the Government of Sri Lanka that it can't continue to turn a blind eye to the plight of the Tamils in the Northern Province who had suffered immensely during the 30 year-long war between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan Forces losing lives, livelihood, homes and temples. Tens of thousands of them had to flee the country and more than a lakh had arrived on the shores of Tamilnadu as refugees.

It is our considered opinion that lasting peace will return to Sri Lanka only when the Government of that country sincerely and amply addresses the grievances of the Tamils of the North and East as well as those refugees living in India. We urge the Government of Bharat to ensure that the Sri Lankan Government acts in a responsible manner in rehabilitating and providing full civil and political rights to the displaced Tamils.

It must also be borne in mind that this neighbourhood Indian Ocean island with millennia-old linkages with Bharat shouldn't be allowed to become a pawn in the great geo-strategic power game being played out by the global powers with the Indian Ocean as the battle-ground. Attempts to widen the gulf between the Sinhala and Tamil population of that country must not be allowed to succeed. Therein lies the key to lasting solution to the Sri Lankan crisis.

ABPS : Ma. Sarkaryavaha's Report - English

P. P.  Sarsanghchalakji, respected all India office bearers, respected members of Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal (National Executive), respected Sanghchaalakji, and my colleague Karyavah of respective states and regions, members  of Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (National collegium of delegates), and distinguished sisters and brothers involved in various segments of social activities; I extend my heartfelt welcome to you all in this important historic city of Jaipur for this Pratinidhi Sabha of Yugabd 5114 and March 2013.

Respectful Homages:

At the outset, we remember with respect, all those great human beings who dedicated their whole life for the wellbeing of our nation and have left us during the year.  Shri Shrikantji  Joshi, who successfully took up any responsibility given to him by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and worked hard  with complete dedication and concentration, left us working till the last moments of his life. Spreading happiness and smiles, Karmyayogi Shri Surendra Singhji  Chauhan, who presented us with a successful model of ‘model’ village with his thoughts and hard work, left for his heavenly abode after a brief illness. A person with gifted and deep intellect, Shri Bapusaheb Kendurkar from Pune left us even as he worked for the society till his last breath. Former Organising Secretary of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh Shri Nanaji Joshi, Pune, who worked throughout his life like an ascetic even as he carried out his family responsibilities, is also no more with us.

Shri Bhaiyyaji Gaadhe, A pracharak from  earlier generation who faced and overcame adversities with his calm and sweet nature, Shri Nana Laabhe an ideal example of simple living, high thinking who inspired people all over the country for  improvement of hand writing system and travelled tirelessly through life, left us suddenly;  senior prachaarak from Nagpur, soft spoken Shri Sharadrao Chauthaiwale who bore with physical pains cheerfully too left us. Absence of these brother colleagues shall always sit heavy on our hearts.

Sadguru Shri Jagjit Singhji  Namdhari, who was associated Vishwa Hindu Parishad since its inception and had a respectful place in the hearts of disciples  brethren, Highly revered seer of Adichunchangiri Math P.P. Balgangadharanathji, who attained highly respected place in the society, left for their heavenly abodes, leaving behind their grieving followers.

Former veteran pracharak, Shri Kailashpati Mishra who was Finance Minister in Bihar government and governor of Gujarat and Rajasthan; Shri Devakinandan Mathur who played a stellar role in Bharat Vikas Parishad’s growth and rehabilitation of physically handicapped in South Bihar, Shri Sudheerji Davande, treasurer of Vidarbha Prant of Saksham  left this world, working for the cause till the end.

Prof. S. R.

C. Pant, former chief secretory of Arunachal Pradesh and ex-president of Vidya Bharathi Arunachal Shri Jikom Riba - went behind the curtains of times.

Founder Chairman of Cadilla Pharma, and renowned world over, Shri Indravadan Modi passed away at the age of 87. 

Shrimati Jashuben Shilpi from Gujarat, whose sculpting was recognized and appreciated world over, and who made sculptures of many Indian leaders is no more with us.

Chancellor of Guwahati University, Marxist intellectual, and one who led many agitations, Shri Dev Prasad Barooah; Shri Sitaram Sutia, who played important role in struggle for independence and was involved with the biggest religious movement Shriman Shankar Dev Sangh completed their journey on Earth.

People who died during the sacred Kumbh in Prayag due to mismanagement, people who suffered due to various terrorist attacks, our soldiers who sacrificed their lives on Kashmir border due to inhuman treatment meted out by Pakistanis; all these pious souls will always be remembered by us. Incidents took place in Delhi and other parts of country of Women’s molestation and then murder are very painful.

Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha condoles the deaths of all such known and unknown brethren, and presents its respectful tribute to these great souls.

Present status of Sangh work:
 
We are all aware that Sangh Shiksha Vargas have a special importance in our organizational structure in training the swayamsevaks.  Last year, 52 Sangh Shiksha Vargas (RSS Training Camps) were held in 50 places. 12549 trainees in first year vargas from 7408 places, 3063 trainees in second year vargas from 2320 places and 1003 trainees from 923 places participated in third year Sangh Shiksha Varg. Special vargas like normal Sangh Shiksha vargas were organized in 2012-13 too. 1218 trainees from 895 places participated in first year and 768 trainees from 621 places in second year Sangh Shiksha Varg took part in these vargas.

According to the information collected from all over Bharat, 42981 Shakhas are being run in 28788 places.  Sangh work is also being carried through 9557 Saptahik Milans (weekly get togethers) and 7178 Sanghmandlis (monthly get togethers). 

Good plans have been made in all the states this year for expanding Sangh shakhas. As a result there has been growth in shakha work both in terms of quantity and quality.  Everybody will have to pay attention to stability and quality of shakhas so this momentum carries on.

Status report of organizational work:

 
1. Shareerik vibhag (Physical training) – Shareerik vibhag had presented Prahar Yagna programme for shakhas this year and the report is quite satisfactory. 

Prahar yagna-  Prahar yagna  was organized in 15924 shakhas. 1,66,959 swayamsevaks took part in this Prahar Yagna and did 5,71,76,520 Prahar totally. 18421 Swayamsevaks  did more than 1000 prahars.

2. Bouddhik vibhag (Intellectual training) – Like earlier years, special training workshop of selected 78 swayamsevaks was held in Bhopal. 40 karyakartas made presentations. We could test their intellectual prowess.

3. Prachar Vibhag (Media) – 25 states organized letter writing workshops in 2012-13, in which 2248 swayamsevaks took part.
Training workshops for karyakartas were arranged so they could participate in TV debates and discussions. Around 100 brothers and sisters took part in TV debates in 50 different channels in different States.

182 journalists in 82 places were felicitated on the occasion of Naarad Jayanti. Intellectuals and journalists were present in good numbers in all these programmes. This programme was organized by Vishwa Samvad Kendra in coordination with Prachar Vibhag.
31 Jagaran patrikas are reaching 1.7 lac villages all over Bharat broadcasting news and nationalist views to these villages.

Well planned approach to ‘Social media’ has seen good number of people willing to join Sangh through its website. Around 1500 people have shown interest in joining Sangh each month through the site.

Special programmes organized in various states:

 
1. Dakshn  Bang (Southern Bengal) – A Youth Camp was organized on the occasion of 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand in Southern Bengal in January 2013, that was open only to youth between the age of 15 to 40 years. 9115 youths from 2052 places participated in this camp held in Kalyani. It is a big achievement for Sangh work in Dakshin Bang. It is worth mentioning that sanyasis from Ramkrishna Math too participated in this camp. Presence of 25000 citizens from nearby villages and towns in the valedictory function is notable.

2. Poorva Andhra (Eastern Andhra Pradesh) – ‘Hindu ChaitanyaShibir’ (Hindu Awakening Camp) for which preparations were going on for nearly a year, will prove to be an important mile stone in the growth of Sangh work in Poorva Andhra. Bharatiya Pragnya Exhibition (Exhibition about Indian Intellectual prowess) was able to arouse a sense of pride in the people who visited it. About 1.25 lac brethren visited this exhibition. 17233 swayamsevaks from 2404 places took part in this camp. The  Matrusammelan (Get together of mothers) saw a presence of 10000 mothers, Prabuddha Sammelan (Get together  of Intellectuals) was attended by 960 people, and it is worth mentioning that Sant Sammelan (Get together of Sants  of various religious sects) was graced by 72 Sants. Presence of 60000 people during the valedictory programme was beyond the expectations of the organizers.

3. Pashchim Andhra (Western Andhra Pradesh) – A special camp of ghosh (band), named ‘GhoshTarang’ was held in Pashchim Andhra in which 865 players participated. Approximately 8000 citizens were witness to this unique event. Reputed persons from Music and Art are In “Swagat Samiti” made for this programme.

4. Malwa Prant Ekatrikaran (Get together) –Sangh work is growing rapidly since last few years in Malwa (part of administrative Madhya Pradesh).  The state team had decided to organize this programme for a short time and it proved to be an immensely memorable event due to hard work put in by the karyakartas. 83345 swayamevaks from 3991 places took part in this get together. It is worth mentioning that all the localities (vasaties) of 108 cities and towns were represented in this get-together.  Event was minutely planned so that inspite of being such a massive programme, no difficulties were faced by the people due to traffic jams that might have ensued. Administration, media and citizens were highly appreciative of this meticulous planning.

5. Karnataka Dakshin (Karnataka Southern) – Mangalore division of Karnataka Southern has highly intensive Sangh organization. Mangalore is, otherwise, considered an administrative district.  State has only recently declared Udupi as a district. Presently all the villages in this division have some or the other form of Sangh work. Mangalore division also organized a massive get-together in the month of February.  1080 villages out of 1500 villages, 2786 localities out of   3015 were represented by 85347 swayamsevak participants in full Sangh uniform. 

In the preparatory phase of  this programme, 247 short term vistaaraks (full time volunteers) left homes, while  457 karyakartas worked full time for preparations though  they stayed at home, and over 15000 swayamevak gatnayaks (team  leaders) worked tirelessly. Their efforts resulted in the success of this massive programme.

One thing worth mentioning about the programmes organized by Malwa and Dakshin Karnataka is that these huge get-togethers were organized only on the basis of oral instructions and messages, without resorting to any printed literature. Strength of organizational structure of Sangh was illustrated through these programmes. Both the programmes and programmes held in Kolkata and Poorva Andhra saw the presence of respected P.P.Sarsanghchalakji.

6. Konkan prant – On the occasion of 150th year of Swami Vivekanand, Konkan prant organized a 3 day camp for college students. 1467 students participated in this camp. 546 students from 11,12 th class, 323 from college level, 535 from medical, Engineering and L.L.B. and 63 are post graduate students.

7. Jaipur prant-  Jaipur prant organized a camp for Sanghkaryakartas who hold some responsible positions in the organization and trained karyakartas during the tour programme of respected P.P. Sarsanghchaalakji  in September, 2012. Camp was to be attended only by karyartas who worked at shakha team level and swayamsevaks who have been trained in Sangh Shiksha Varg. Participants presented physical drills (shareerik) and group songs (sanghik geet). There were different workshops/baithaks for different categories of karyakartas depending upon their responsibilities. 6968 karyakartas from 1946 places attended this camp.

8. Uttar Tamilnadu Prant – On the occasion of Rathasaptami,  Suryanamaskar programme was held in the prant. All 675 shakhas participated in this programme. 10721 Swayamsevaks took part in the programme and made 2,22,932 Suryanamskars in total.
All the above programmes give us glimpse of organizational might of Sangh.  We are confident that follow up action plans are also being worked out carefully in all these places. These programmes also indicate the future growth of our work. All these programmes saw positive participation and support of citizens and media.

National Scenario:

 
Year 2012-13 saw some important events taking place in our country. Some events are inspiring while some subjects need awakening and thinking is required at all levels of the society.

1. Conspiracy of Pakistani army to intrude into our borders- Incident of Pakistani forces intruding into Bharat Territory and horrendous attack on Bharat soldiers is not an ordinary incident.  It is clear that it is a conspiracy hatched by committed terrorist group dedicated to Pakistani cause. Intelligence Bureau also seems to have the same view.  Decapitating martyr Hemraj’s head and leaving it behind on the Indian border illustrates the savagery of Pakistan. Pro-Pakistani Jihadi groups are putting into act anti-Bharat programme. Presence of anti-Bharat forces is a big threat for the nation. Need of the hour is that our government take these incidents very seriously. Presence of well armed and strong military forces alone can keep up and raise the morale of the common citizenry. Government of Bharat should take right strategic policies suited to current scenario and generate confidence in our people about security of our borders.

2. Infiltration, an elaborate conspiracy –Sustained illegal infiltration from Bangladesh since independence is taking a critical shape now. Bangladeshi nationals entering the Bharat borders, ostensibly in search of employment, are influencing the centers of power and disturbing the peace of the land acquiring citizenship by illegal means. They are not just disturbing the balance of population, but are also creating a challenging situation for Hindu society in those areas.  The recent incidents in North-East are specially raising concerns in the mind of right thinking people that this is a part of well planned conspiracy. It is tragic that there are elements in our own country that are helping those evil forces.

It would be a mistake to look at the recent widespread rioting in Kokrajhar as only a local dispute. This incident should be looked at as a part of an elaborate conspiracy.  These rounds of violence have been going on for years in Assam, but infiltrators had to face strong opposition for the first time and had to vacate some areas.  To counter this, these elements made a show of strength with the help of their local supporters, and the incident was no more limited to that region but spread as far as Mumbai, where these supporters staged violent protests under the aegis of Raza Academy and challenged the citizens of this country openly.  There were attempts by these elements to threaten and force people from North East studying or employed in various parts of the country, to return to their native places. Sangh Swayamsevaks and members of organization inspired by Sangh made all efforts for the youths of Norh East in cities such as  Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi to stay back by providing them security. It is unfortunate that the so called secularists are raising the fear of threat to security of minorities and refuse to recognize this dire challenge.

3. Power hungry politics – Instead of efforts to bring minorities into the mainstream of national life along with Hindus, there is a competition to adopt policies of minority appeasement. Considering Muslims no more than a vote bank, the Home Minister is making false, malicious and baseless charges that the people responsible for terrorism represent ‘Hindu, Saffron, Sangh and BJP’ and showing their anti-Hindu mentality. Persons talking about ‘Hindu terrorism’ do not have guts to take action against people or organizations openly involved in terrorist activities. It is the result of the same appeasement policy that an elected representative of an assembly can openly appeal for violence against Hindus and the administration dithers in taking action against him.

The recent attacks on temples and Hindu settlements in 24 Pragana District and the bomb blasts in Bhagyanagar (Hyderabad) reflect the growing Islamic extremism. Post hanging of terrorist Afzal Guru, the statements and reactions issued by the Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir and other leaders are a matter of concern.

4. Suspicious Arms deals – Wide spread corruption in Arms deals, is a matter of grave concern and saddens us. Can the Ministry of Defence shrug of its responsibility by shifting the blame on Officers of the Armed Forces? It would not be in the interest of the country and would lower the faith of the common people of people holding high posts in Armed Forces, and Ministry of Defence fall under the cloud of suspicion. This kind of degrading politics and corrupt system is highly destructive for the nation.

5. Incidents of violence against women –Society is deeply hurt due to recent incidents of violence against women. This is the result of corrosion in ethical values and our social life.  How can social life be secured against the distortions that have come about in our society in the name of modernization? Can the situation change by putting the responsibility on security system or policing and improving law and order situation? 

Social, Educational and religious institutions will have to ponder over their role in the society. Answer to this problem will be found in following ethical and moral life style.

6. ‘Sarhad ko Pranam’ organized by FINS – 50 years have passed since China’s attack in 1962. This was a war in which Indian Army had to face defeat. Utilizing this event, Forum for Integrated National Security (FINS) embarked on an ambitious programme. Youth of the nation should see the borders of our country once, understand the problems of border area, meet the inhabitants of these areas, talk to soldiers who put their lives on line to defend the country and return with a resolve to protect the borders of our country. This was the thought behind organizing this ‘Sarhad ko Pranam’ (Saluting the borders) programme. Responding to the humble request made  by FINS, Sangh swayamsevaks took part in this big event and made it successful.   

An age limit of 18 years to 35 years was set for the participants. Efforts were made that all the districts of India be represented in this exercise. 5679 youth from nearly all the districts participated in this programme. International borders pass through 15 states of our country. Young volunteers reached the borders in all the states. They took along sacred waters of their respective places and took back sacred soil of the border which they visited. Human chain called ‘Seema Suraksha Shrinkhala’ was formed along with the local residents. 1,08,105 local brothers and sisters participated in this human chain.  7700 volunteers participated in managing the programme. This programme was successful in awakening the youth about the security of our borders.

7.  Swami Vivekanand Shaardh Shati Samaroh (Celebrations on 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand) – Celebrations began informally on 25th December, 2012 as ‘Sankalp divas’. So far, support and participation of common people has been highly impressive and motivating.  Sankalp divas for volunteer karyakartas was organized at 9370 places, in which 4,46,969 men and 90,715 women took part. Shobhayatras organized on 12th January saw unprecedented participation of citizens. Participation of non-Hindu brethren along with Hindus underlines the social goodwill. These celebratory yatras took place in 1373 localities in which more than 48 lacs peoples participated. Collective Suryanamaskar programme not only had young boys and girls but also people of all age groups taking part. 26597 schools from 6697 places took part all over Bharat in this programme. 64,17,401 students and 7,25,400 other citizens, i.e. in total 71,43,801 people participated in this Suryanamaskar programme. This is a high water mark by itself.

‘Vishal Hindu Sangam’ was organized in the tribal area in Bodla village in Chhattisgarh state as a part of 150th anniversary celebrations.  On the auspicious occasion of ‘MauniAmavasya’ (Magh Krishna amavasya) on 10th February 2013, highly revered Shankaracharya Vasudevanand Saraswati, respected P.P.Sarsanghchalakji and Chief Minister Of the State graced the Hindu Sangam. 1, 25,000 villagers from 1500 villages attended this grand event.  Strong feeling of Hindutva and an organized power rising above all the differences is the only answer to the problems of Naxalims, conversions, social inequity; this was the message that was successfully conveyed by this massive Sangam.

In Srilanka on this occasion of Shaardh Shati Samoroh Hindu Sangam was organized. Presence of 10,000 people and reponse to other programmes was cheerful. 

We hope that the forthcoming programmes will also see similar level of impressive social participation by common people. The indications we get from the success of these programmes tell us that understanding the relevance of message of Swami Vivekanand in present times even after lapse of 150 years, society should stand up with resolve on its strong foundations of its own intellectual prowess.

8. Kumbh celebrations in Prayag – Massive Hindu congregation took place on the sacred soil of Trivenisangam in Prayag. A meeting of ‘Kendriya Margdarshak Mandal’ of Vishwa Hindu Parishad took place on this occasion. This meeting was graced by Sadhus, Sants of different sects and faiths, Dharmacharyas, Mahamandaleshwars, revered Shankaracharya etc. P. Sarsanghchalakji also delivered speech on this occasion. In-depth analysis and discussions about problems being faced by Hindu society were done in this meeting. Resolve to build a grand Ram temple was specially made again.

As per ruling of Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court pronounced on 30 Sep, 2010, it is clear that the very place where ‘Ram lalaa’ resides now, is the birth place of Lord Ram. This place should now be handed over to Hindus as per promise made by Muslim society earlier before the judgment, and way be paved for a grand temple there. But, Hindu society feels that hurdles have not yet been cleared. Margdarshak Mandal has passed a resolution appealing for Mahajagaran (grand awakening) and Maha anushthan (grand programme). Respected Sants expect Hindu society to put in all its strength to make these programmes successful. Respected Sants firmly believe that such an awakened power alone can pave the way for construction of the grand temple. 

We are celebrating 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand this year.  His thoughts inspire us and give us energy and strength. Therefore, we should study his thoughts regularly.

Swami ji says, “If we were to analyse our failure critically, we shall come to the conclusion that in 99% cases, reason is that we did not pay attention to the resources. It is necessary that we pay attention to the strength, purity and completeness of means. We should have faith that if means are correct, then goal shall be achieved.”

Our means are our shakha and the swayamsevak moulded through it. More accomplished this resource is, more would be chances of our dream of prosperous nation getting fulfilled.
