A two day meet of columnists was
held at Durgapura, Rajasthan on September 12 and 13. The symposium, organised
by Prachar vibhag of RSS, was attended by 130 columnists from Maharashtra, Goa,
Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Jammu-Kashmir,
Himachal Pradesh, Uttranchal, and West Uttar Pradesh.




While
delivering the valedictory address, Sarsanghchalak Shri Mohan Bhagwat observed
that  Hindu philosophy is the basis on which  contemporary issues and
problems are to be viewed. The Hindu view of life being holistic, it considers
man and woman as two manifestation of the same entity. Hence it emphasizes
oneness rather than equality. Shri Bhagwat said that the worth and relevance of
the family system of India is intact amid all challenges. This is a strength of
Hindu society. Therefore, in addition to identifying our roots, we have to
continually strengthen it; it is then that our society acquires the strength
to face invasions such westernization. 

The
Bharatiya tradition accommodates all that is good in the world by rejecting
blind beliefs. It is this way that the society could be organized and will
be in a position to effectively carry on the work of enlightening the world
about the purpose of life and the path to attain it. 


Bhagwat
said that the need of the hour is to think in terms of scientific compatibility
of Hindu Dharma and to reject those which do not fit in with the scientific
criteria. It is the Hindu Dharma alone that has the capacity to take forward
the evolutionary process of creation in a spirit of samanvaya and we have to
combine contemporary circumstances with our eternal values to forge ahead,
added Shri Bhagwat.
Prof. Rakesh Sinha,
Advocate Monica Arora, Dr. Suvarn Rawal and Smt. Mrinalini Naniwadekar
presented their views on deliberations on women in Hindu philosophy, media, and
challenges for women in politics and judiciary respectively.
