Dr.Mohanji Bhagwat
The Basti Sangamam of Chennai Mahanagar was held on Saturday the 5th January 2019 at the prestigious Ramachandra Convention Hall.
For Dharma, the qualities required are Satya, compassion, purity and tapas. If purity is there Satya (truth) and compassion automatically comes. But purity in tapas is needed. Shakha work is a form of Tapas. By conducting the Shakha we acquire this Tapas which in turn will bring the other three qualities. Hence, we should expand the Shakhas in all Bastis.
Since the day being Hanumath Jayanthi, Mohanji Bhagwat brought out the fact that how Hanuman is a source of inspiration for Swayamsevaks. Like Hanuman who offered all his Gunas and talents for the cause of Lord Rama, the Swayamsevaks should offer their Gunas and talents for the allround development of our nation. Dealing at length how Hanuman conquered Surasa, Simhika and Lankini comparing them as Sattvic, Tamasic and Rajasic forces respectively while proceeding to Lanka. Similarly, we should also deal with such forces.
He concluded his speech declaring that no force on earth can stop Bharat becoming Viswa Guru.
Out of the 880 Bastis in Chennai Mahanagar, 2913 Swayamsevaks from 825 basits attended the programme. A book on the life of Ma. Bauvurao Deoras, who was the Saha Sar Karyavah of Sangh was released on the occasion by Dr.Mohanji Bhagwat and the first copy was received by Poojya Swami Mitrananda of Chinmaya Mission. Ma. R.Vanniarajan, Kshetra Sanghachalak, Ma. K.Kumarasamy, Pranta Sanghachalak, Uttar Tamilnadu, Ma. Chandrasekar, Chennai Mahabagar Sanghchalak, Ma. Subbiah, Mahanagar Saha Sanghachalak were on the dais. Many Pranta Karyakarthas were also present on the occasion.
Inspired by RSS, Swayamsevaks are active through more then 35 different organisations in various walks of Social life. Karykartas working in these organisations occasionally come together to share
their experiences, achievements and observations. Two such meetings are organised in a year during September and January where’in such exchange and sharing of experiences take place. All the Senior workers travel extensively and generally meet people from different stratas of the society. They always come with valuable inputs from the grassroots and share in the meeting through which all are enriched. It is not a decision making forum because every organisation is independent and has its own decision making mechanism. This year , January baithak (meeting) is scheduled in Chennai from 6th
to January 9 in which about 50 karykartas will participate.
