That will pave the way for a powerful, righteous and self-reliant Bharat, he observed. “The world is waiting for a new path, and Bharat, meaning Hindu society, has to provide it as a divine duty.””Agriculture, industrial and scientific revolutions are over. Now the world needs a ‘dharmic’ revolution. I am not talking about religion, but human life has to be reorganised based on truth, purity, compassion and austerity. The world needs this, Bharat has to inevitably show the path,” he added.Bhagwat said the RSS is a principle-centred organisation with the idea that ‘Bharat is a Hindu Rashtra’ embedded in its core functioning.”We may take inspiration and follow the direction given by great personalities, but in every desh-kaal-paristhiti (time and situation), we must carve our own path. This calls for constant discernment between what is eternal (nitya) and what is situational (anitya),” he said.”What is nitya in the Sangh? Balasaheb once said, ‘Hindustan is a Hindu Rashtra.’ Apart from this, everything else in the Sangh is transient. The entire Hindu society is the accountable custodian of this nation. The nature and the ‘sanskriti’ of this country are Hindu. Therefore, this is a Hindu Rashtra,” the RSS chief saidEverything is to be done while maintaining this core, he added.”Hence, the Sangh swayamsevak, while taking the oath, explicitly states: ‘The all-round development of the Hindu Rashtra while protecting sacred Hindu dharma, Hindu ‘sanskriti’ and Hindu society’,” he added.Bhagwat said there is “complete freedom” in the RSS to express diverse and conflicting opinions during discussion but once a decision is reached by building consensus, everyone keeps aside their individual opinions by merging them into the collective decision.”The eternal is preserved; the transient evolves with time, space and context,” he added.
