Hinduism all about love, faith and intimacy with all: Bhagwat


Lucknow, Aug 28 (PTI): RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat today said the ideology of Hinduism is not against anyone and it is all about love, faith and intimacy with all.

"The ideology of Hinduism is not against anyone. Hindutava is not about malice or opposition, but love, faith and intimacy with all," Bhagwat said while addressing swayamsewaks at Saraswati Shishu Mandir here.

His remarks assume significance against the backdrop of several non-BJP parties alleging that RSS had a communal agenda and was anti-Muslim.

Bhagwat said, "We work for the country. It is not about ritualism. It is based on spiritualism and truth."

He however said, "...but remaining weak is also not Hindusim. Hindus should be made prosperous. Not bigotry, but a society where there is warmth for all is needed."

Bhagwat said, "Society is our God. We are here to serve the society, we should not think what we will get in return. We are working for all round development of Hindu nation. But there should be no arrogance that we are working for that."

He said no work should be done in reaction to something, adding, Lord Buddha preached about non-violence and tolerance.

"Mahabharat yudh dharma sthapana ke liye hua tha. Bhagwan Ram aur Bhagwan Krishna ne bhi dharm ke liye hi sab kuch kiya. Therefore every worker should work with positive attitude," he said.

The RSS chief said that swayamsewaks would do whatever is required for Hindu 'dharma', culture and society.

He said Sangh is an organisation of Hindu society.

"Nothing else is required to take 'Bharat' to the peak of glory than maintaining unity and integrity of the country. We are working for praise of Bharat Mata everywhere, but there should be no impurity of thoughts," he said.

    Everyone know that the traits love/faith & intimacy are richly practiced by Saint of the gutter - Mother Theresa.., whom our honorable PM praised in his unqualified noteworthy & unbiased words. Hope that RSS chief is not making an attempt to poach Mother Theresa's legacy.

    The point here is - Do we see these traits among Parivar outfits & its followers.
    This reminds me of one quote in TIMES NOW prime time debate by one of the eminent spokesperson of a national party said once - it is like "Satan preaching gospel", though i may be wrong, But definitely not by those who are at the receiving end by the members belong to these outfits.

    RSS chief MB last week talk about 10 child.., if i am not mistaken the hidden idea may be to increase the vote bank (think that they Hindus will vote as per his wish.., though it is seldom true).

    For once I wish good luck to all the parivar members to embrace the traits quoted by MB.

    Or is that intentional because 'violence demands low IQ'...!

    Dear Chief

    Nobody disputes your claim, but looking around India, vast majority of people do not truly follow the teaching of Hinduism. As Mahatma Gandhi said "I like Jesus Christ, but I hate Christians, because they do not truly follow him".

    Hinduism all about love, faith and intimacy with all: Bhagwat

    Bhagwatji being born and brought up in India I concur on your views with Hinduism, as also our forefathers were Hindus too.

    But the million dollar question is do ALL members of your RSS think, treat and have the same polices with ALL others, in particular lower caste Hindus, and other minorities in terms of love, intimacy, etc.

    Dear Don, your comment is only half correct about the forefathers issue. You say our forefathers were Hindus. I will ask you what was the religion of the forefathers of those Hindu forefathers you refer to. Certainly not Hinduism. So, are not the forefathers of those Hindu forefathers not our forefathers too ? Is there any cut-off period to define upto what point in history one can be considered a forefather or not ? My point here is how far back does one go into history to decide who are our earliest forefathers and what religion did they follow ? Christianity says they are Adam and Eve. Does what Christianity say about this cannot be believed because it is not recorded as part of Indian History as it pertains to religious belief ?

    I recall a nice quote from Gladson, Brahmavar, in some earlier comment on this issue in DW where he commented something like this "The history of India is not exactly the same as the history of Hinduism".
    Do some research and you will know this truth.
    So every time I hear someone make a comment saying that our forefathers were Hindus I would like to ask them which era of Indian history are they referring to ?
    Vested interest groups want us to believe what is not fully true for their own selfish gain.

    Are you born again now? Can you at first define what is love? If you have your own definition of love, you will be making a big joke out yourself.

    Quite surprising turn of events just behind Mr. Modi's comments about Mother Teresa's dedication as a saint. Now, what is your opinion about Mother Teresa?

    Be honest in life: the double acting will be caught up in due time. I grew up with Hindus and we all loved each other until your organization's seeds of religious frictions were planted.

    Pramodji: The reaping time for the RSS-VHP-BD and the rest for planting the seeds of division through using the Hindu religion has arrived in front of our eyes. Simply watch the turn of events taking place every week in India. The 70% of the Hindu population of India will be taking the lead in this new revolution of harmony with the minorities.

    Now it is crystal clear that Mr. Modi got the message of danger in his passive response to the RSS-VHP-BD and the rest of the party whispering in his ears as well as the deliberate ignoring of the minorities and Dalits were big political mistakes.

    It is high time the BJP and the RSS shun their communal agenda because the people of India irrespective of their religion are Proud Indians. Religion is their personal and private matter and they have a deep respect for all the religions be it Hinduism, Buddism, Jainism, Sikkism, Christianity or Islam

    History tells us repeatedly that the autocratic rule whether religious based or not will be faced with severe challenge in due time. The Hindus are going to revolt against this spirit established in New Delhi because living in peace and harmony are the most urgent needs of the society.

    The Gujarathi imperialism along with the street hooliganism culture have created a national apprehension and international aversion towards the current Government of India.

    Simply giving statement is nothing but placating lower strata Hindu Society.Back of Dalits and Ahindas now uniting against RSS ideology so BagWATH forced to give this statement.
    On the other hand International Community and importantly,USA asked Govt of India to look in to the matter of the affairs of the weaker section of the society that is dalits and minorities who came under attack of SANGHIS.

    RSS HAS HIDDEN AGENDA and it had one and will be....
