*Work for the Safety and Prosperity for all beings in India *
A call to youth by RSS Sarasanghachalak Sri *Mohan Bhagavat*
*Hyderabad*: A programme was organized at Satya Sai Nigamagamam, Hyderabad
by Martyr’s Memorial Research Institute on the occasion of its Bi-decennial
celebrations, which was founded in 1991 by Bhavrao Devras an eminent leader
of national renaissance. Shri Mohanji Bhagawat took part in the programme as
Chief guest and spoke on the topic “Bharat: Challenges before the youth”. He
also inaugurated the release of Rigveda Samhita DVDs (Audio) designed,
developed and produced by Shri Seva Bharathi Hyderabad. Prof.D.Manohar Rao
chairman of MMRI welcomed the guests and the audience.
Shri Justice Parvatha Rao (Retd.) Sanghachalak (Dakshina Madya Kshetra), RSS
calling the subject of today’s talk on challenges before the youth as an
important and relevant one said that problems of youth are immense which are
emanating both from outside and inside the society. The attacks on the
society by extremists in the form of Marxists are one of such challenges, he
said. Corruption of enormous magnitude involving lakhs of crores of rupees
is another major challenge. Criminal neglect of administration and wastage
of food grains purchased by F.C.I. are some other issues before us. Even
Supreme Court’s order that proper go downs should be constructed for storage
is still not implemented. It is strange that Prime Minister feels that there
should be no interference by the judiciary. Our youth with extraordinary
brilliance are encouraged abroad but not so in the native country with the
result that we are deprived of such talented pool. There is so much poverty
in the country. While youth in those days sacrificed their lives for the
cause of freedom, in the present times not many are joining the armed forces
and the lure for quick money is driving them away from joining such jobs.
Not many are joining the legal profession and so many vacancies are unfilled
in the judiciary. We have to stop this trend by motivating the youth to take
up such professions for the cause of the society and the nation. He called
upon the youth to take forward their fight against terror.
*Release of C.D.:* Mohanji Bhagawat then released a C.D. consisting of
Rigveda Samhita designed, developed and produced by Shri Veda Bharathi. Due
to pioneering efforts for the last 20 years by Dr.Avadhanulu a nuclear
scientist associated with Veda Bharathi it became a reality to see 64
chapters with 64 introductions recited in 11 different modes of Rig Veda
digitized into one single C.D.
In his one-hour address, Shri Mohanji Bhagawat while appreciating the
enthusiasm among the large number of youth present in the hall exhorted them
to cultivate values like courage, conviction and hard work. He said that
India’s future lay in the hands of the youth and they should work with
vibrant thoughts and not with loudness. He said that youth is reflected more
in the spirit of work and enthusiasm than in age. Even after 64 years of
freedom, multiple challenges prevail which never existed in the recent
history of India. But solutions are more important than challenges.
Mojanji Bhagawas while pointing out that problems are galore with China,
observed that national borders were still porous and criticized Government
of India for neglecting the border with China, in spite of knowing fully
well their intentions. China is aware that India is emerging as a strong
nation with a strong potential to grow as a knowledge-based society.
Understanding our importance, China started laying roads, railway lines and
airports not sparing even the remotest areas along the border. It is
strange that the Government of India has not responded in a fitting manner,
he noted.
Shri Bhagawat gave a call to the youth to be on guard against cultural
invasion, which is emanating from foreign shores with a concerted move to
divide its people and create a rift amongst various communities. Their cruel
purpose is to stop India from emerging as a super power. We blindly follow
the western customs like Father’s day and Mother’s day. But do we observe
Respiration day? Do we need to remember our parents only on these days?
India’s rich heritage gives ample opportunity to each one of us to remember
and respect our mother and father everyday for the entire life.
Anybody going out from India whichever party they belong to should take a
firm and identical stand on issues like Kashmir that it is an integral part
of India and is non- negotiable. It is a strange situation to see army being
not kept where it is required and kept where it is not required. The vote
bank politics along with divide and rule policies being pursued by the
Government are playing havoc with the harmony of the nation. The communal
violence bill on which no debate has taken place so far is already kept in
the Government website. The members whose credentials are doubtful are in
the National Advisory Council to draft such bills as communal violence bill.
He added that even the Supreme Court raised questions on the credentials of
some members of NAC.
It is unfortunate that those required to show accountability in the
administration are escaping from it and the loot by the miscreants
continues. The economic scenario is brought to such a stage that 20 to 25%
are becoming richer and 70 to 75% are becoming poorer with unchecked
inflation reaching alarming proportions of 9.44%. Such policies are leading
to jobless growth. There is a huge competition. Violence erupts due to such
reckless economic policies. Progress and morality should go hand in hand.
Blind imitation of western ideas is causing heavy damage to our social moral
fabric. We should welcome good things suitable to us and discard those not
healthy to us.
Where is moral education? While the number of schools and colleges is
rising, the benefit is not reaching common people as can be witnessed
through large dropouts in the schools. It is unfortunate that values are
falling so low that life is understood to be only food, sleep and sex and
nothing more. He called for educational training reforms with stress on
self-respect quoting Dr.Abdul Kalam’s views.
Underlying the importance of unity amongst us, he mentioned that nobody is
different from others throughout India with DNA being similar. The mind set
should change from identifying only with a particular caste, religion,
language and region. With so many differences prevailing, it helps only the
enemy.
But there is no need to despair and he reminded of only challenges in front
of us and we can move forward by overcoming the obstacles. Indians are most
intelligent and are ahead in every international competition. He cited
examples of well-educated youth doing social work inspiring others to
emulate them. India is a treasure house of knowledge. Progress will be
abundant with our enterprising nature, talent, skill and resilience. Even in
most difficult times, we have not suffered shortages. We could not be shaken
even in the worst economic crisis, which appeared worldwide. He exhorted the
youth to emerge from crisis of identity, credibility and character. There is
lack of awareness of our history and our real identity. Humanity should be
guiding factor cutting across religious lines, he added. He called upon the
youth to inculcate self-respect and self esteem in them.
The concept of “Vasudhaika kutumbam” is India’s legacy to rest of the world
and hence we should not have enemies. But since the world is not free from
wrong people we should protect and guard against misdeeds from them in a
democratic way without violence. He gave a clarion call to the youth “Save
yourself; correct yourself; Begin with yourself; Know yourself; Understand
root of Bharat”. Entire Bharat is oneself. He asked them to keep in mind
‘Bharatiyata’ where good of others should be prime consideration. Without
Bharat there is no world and for the sake of world’s survival India should
raise. The youth should rise above selfishness by giving time to the society
and the nation and make it strong. He asked them to stop wrong activities
and make efforts for right action. The general trend of confining to indoors
should stop and one should come out to serve for the country’s cause.
One should remember that there is no revolution and there is only evolution.
He said that he would feel happy even if one amongst the audience goes out
and works in the right direction with the aim of selfless service. He cited
examples as to how Buddhist monks went over to China and successfully spread
the message of our ancient Dharma. He regretted that efforts were not taken
for the protection of Vedas. He reminded Swamy Vivekananda’s eloquent words
exhorting the countrymen to set aside Devi and Devata Puja in order to
concentrate on nation building. Shri Bhagawat concluded his talk by calling
upon the youth to work for the safety and prosperity for all beings in
India.
The meeting came to an end with a vote of thanks by Shri G.Yoganand Manjira
group chairman.
