Blessing speech by Pujya Swami Paripoornananda
Swami Paripoonananda, head of SreePeetham, Kakinada in his address
talked about the great ness of Hindu Dharma. He said that Dharma and
Nation should not be seen separately. Closely associated with Dharma are
cow, Ganga, Gita and Guru and those should be protected by Hindus.
Today temples are divided into various groups which is not a healthy
trend, he said. He talked of the need to safeguard the works and
preachings of Pujaniya Doctorji, Pujaniya Guruji and Swami Vivekananda.
Speech by Sarkaryavah Ma.Sri Bhayyaji Joshi
RSS Sarkaryavah (All India General Secretary) Ma.Sri Bhayyaji Joshi
in his address said that Hindu does not mean custom, tradition or
method of worship and explained that Pujya Doctorji founded the R.S.S.
in 1925 for the purpose of healthy social living, universal welfare.
Today border areas of Kashmir, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and North-eastern
regions have become hotbeds for destructive forces and naxalism and
terrorism have become a challenge to the nation. In the name of service,
certain institutions are carrying out religious conversions and Sri
Bhayyaji Joshi asked us to be aware and alert to thwart any such
attempts. He cautioned that if policies are framed towards gaining only
material pleasures, it does not augur well for the economic system in
the future. He said that there is no safety for women today and we
should not become mute witnesses about their plights. Women today are
coming forward successfully in various sectors, he said. He exhorted the
Hindus to march ahead with right strength and renewed vigour. We should
remove the defects that have crept into our Hindu society over a period
of time, he urged.

in his address said that due to the meditation by Swami Vivekananda on
the rock memorial of Kanyakumari, that place became powerful centre. He
reminded that due to strong determination and ardent efforts by Sri
Doctorji, R.S.S. was established. Gandhiji gained fulfilment due to

R.S.S. When Dharma was in danger, Rana Pratap, Shivaji, Doctorji and
Guruji came in for its protection and restoration. The Swamiji said that

Blessed Speech by Pujya Swami Tridandi Srimannarayana Chinna Jeeyar
Tridandi Srimannarayana Jiyar Swamiji while giving his discourse told
that swayamsevaks took forward a noble cause by combining strength and
vibrancy. He said that Vedas, Itihasas, Puranas and Shashtras
reverberated with Dharma exhortations and the swayamsevaks are trying to
implement and live up to those and some have forgotten. There is a need
to remind about practising Dharma. There is respect even for
non-believers. We literally worship our parents and pay respects to
parents of others and a situation is emerging now to get this example
emulated by others. Today, there is a need for model villages, he told.
Due to advent of smart phones, cell phones and TVs personal meetings are
becoming less frequent. Human values are getting eroded not only in
towns but also in villages. Human values are existing in the
swayamsevaks, he lauded. “All of you took initiative in propagating
Dharma family”, he said. He hoped that this camp would be a starting
point for heralding on the concept of model villages. He concluded his
discourse by telling that it is not about dualistic or non-dualistic
philosophy that is in question now.
Chief Guest and ex D.G.P.of A.P. Sri K.Aravindrao told that
the only organisation possessing qualities of national integrity and
devotion is R.S.S. Today, even culture has been globalised. Cultural
attacks began with Britishers. Westerns are distorting our scriptural
sayings. He quoted Telegraph newspaper of England wherein it is stated
that to bring awakening amongst intellectuals, we get lot of material
from the preachings of Swami Vivekananda. There is lot of positive
strength in Bhagavat Gita and Upanishads and they are above religion. No
Hindu can ever be a fundamentalist. Our nation never attacked another
country. In Bangladesh, the population of Hindus has considerably
reduced. Recently Central Minister Sri A.K.Anthony said that minorities
are safe in our country. He asked swayamsevaks to read Bharatam and
Ramayan. They should attain soft power.
Pujaniya Sarsanghachalak of RSS Ma.Sri Mohanji Bhagavat,
Sarkaryavah Ma.Sri Bhayyaji Joshi, Dakshin Madhya Kshetra Sanghachalak
Sri T.V.Deshmuksh, Purva Andhra Pranth Sanghachalak Ma.Sri M.Sundara
Murty were participated n this meeting.
Speech by Ma.Mohanji Bhagavat
Pujaniya Sarsanghachalak Ma.Sri Mohanji Bhagavat in his address talked
about environmental issues and the turbulent times the world is faced
with like destruction of families and asked to rekindle the ancient
value system prevalent in India and to spread this message to the world.
If one observes the way Pakistan is behaving with India for the last
few days, one can say it is not a friendly but enemy country. China is
equally dangerous. Due to the weak border areas, drug trafficking,
weapons and fake currency exchange go unchecked. The policies being
adopted in our country are not helpful to the well-being of the nation.
Price rise, foreign direct investments in retail sector, caste and
regional differences are creating disappointment and despair among the
people.
Many great persons have called for spread of patriotic thoughts among
the people. Even radical humanism champion M.N.Roy emphasised the need
for national, patriotic thoughts. Today in the country languages are
different and teaching procedures are different. But by protecting the
diversity, we should follow Hindutva thought and value system. There is a
need to rekindle Hindutva thought process. R.S.S.works for welfare of
the world. It does not terrorise any body. It should not be clubbed with
terrorism. The Sangh has taken up 130,000 service activities with love.
It works for building up of integrated Hindu society. Dr.AbdulKalam
realised the need for building up of strength in the society. Strength
does not mean acquisition of weapons. There should be welfare of the
society, safety of the country and well-being of the world. Through
awakened and vibrant society, qualitative richness should prevail.
He exhorted the members to participate in the 1 hour shakha activity
daily and this will pave the way for becoming a person of fulfillment.
Rashtra Sevika Samithi is working for the cause of women. There is a
need for rejuvenation of power of right citizens. Sri Bhagavat called
upon all the members to become partners in this noble mission.
In starting the function the swayamsevaks who participated in the 3
day sibir,demonstrated the physical exercises, those are Vyayam Yog
