In an organization like
RSS it is common practice for householders to leave their families behind, go
to another place and stay there for a year or six months in order to uplift a
backward village. The unique instance of a Sanyasi going out of his Mutt and
staying for six months in a far off village (Neelamangalam in Kanchipuram
District) and initiating quite a few projects for the betterment of the
villagers (most of whom are Dalits) came to light at the South Chennai Vibagh
Guru Puja function on August 9. The sanyasi was Swami Brahma Yoganandha of
Yogashanthi Gurukulam who narrated his experience at the function.  The Guru Puja function was presided over by
Justice Kanakarajan (Retd. Judge of Madras High Court).  Sah Sarkaryavah Dr. Krishnagopal dwelt at
length on the unique feature of Guru in the Bharatiya tradition and how
Dr.Hedgewar shows the saffron flag as the guide for Hindu society.
‘Bhagwa
Dwaj’ (Saffron Flag) represents Sacrifice, Unity and Sacred.
He
then spoke about the concept of universal oneness and explained how vital a
role it plays in Vedic philosophy. He explained that the understanding of
universal oneness can be seen on the ancient traditions of the Yagnas, in how
devotees performing the yagnas make offerings back to nature, recognizing that
whatever has been received has to be returned to larger universe with
gratitude. He also spoke about how this understanding has resulted in the
worship of the Bhoomi Devi in Hinduism and how Indians should regard their
motherland as a Holy Land.  
Our country
was invaded by many foreigners including Huns, Turks, Arabs, Mughals and
British.
Hindu society has been able to withstand the
frequent onslaught from foreign forces and retain its core values and
ideologies. Society is facing certain
weaknesses that had arisen due to the effects of these invasions.  
RSS
following the vision of great sages like Swami Vivekananda is working to
eradicate social evils in the Hindu Society with the concept of ‘Sarve Bhavantu
Sukhinaha’.


Justice Kanakaraj was
particularly impressed by the organizational strength as well as the
disciplined stand of RSS in any national issue as he made out in his
presidential address. Drawing on various instances from history, he impressed
upon the audience the importance of the glorious legacy of the 5000 year old
culture which empowers Hindu society and philosophy. 
A patriotic song was
rendered by Calcutta Shankar at the outset. 
Sambhag Sanghachalak
Shri Kalyan Singh and Sah Prant Sanghachalak Shri Kumaraswamy Shri Srikumar Fomra
(Chairman, SMK Fomra Institute of Technology) were at the dais. 
Likewise at the North
Madras Vibhag Guru Puja, the founder ‘Arunodayam’, a social service organization
functioning at the periphery of the metro was invited to light the deepam at
the outset of the function. Shri Kumaraswamy spoke on the importance of Guru
Puja.
