The world needs “dharma” (religious and moral duties) to overcome social evils like war, global warming and bigotry and India is the only country that can teach the world about dharma, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat said at a training camp held in Bhopal on Saturday. The camp, organised by Vishwa Sangha Shiksha Varga, saw the participation of RSS workers from 13 countries.
Mr. Bhagwat quoted Aurobindo Ghosh, a writer who participated in the freedom struggle. “Lord Krishna, who arrived in Mr. Ghosh’s dreams during his stay in jail told him that the first condition of the rise of ‘Sanatan dharma’ will be the rise of the ‘Hindurashtra’, Hindustan. At that time, Mr. Ghosh wasn’t aware that the RSS would be formed and our swayamsewaks will spread the message of coexistence to the world,” said Mr. Bhagwat.
He added that Swami Vivekananda had also said that India had to rise but not for its own interests but to teach “dharma” to the world.
