Ram Rajya coming, end disputes, take everyone along: RSS chief Bhagwat

“We are all children of Bharat Varsha. We have to maintain good conduct and end disputes. We have to stop the habit of fighting over things,” he said.

The truth is that Ram resides in “kan-kan” (every particle), he said. “So, we should all live in harmony. We should walk along with everyone else. All are ours. Compassion is important. Wherever we find that people are in grief, we should run to serve them. We should save from what we earn, and also give to society from what we earn. Others also have their beliefs that may be different from ours. It isn’t necessary that we are always correct, but even if we are, let us all stay in sanyam (patience, restraint),” he said.

Quoting Mahatma Gandhi on the Earth having enough for everyone’s need but not for everyone’s greed, Bhagwat called for a social life of discipline and togetherness, saying this path would lead Bharat to becoming a “Vishwaguru” (world leader).

Crediting those who struggled for the Ram temple for “500 years”, Bhagwat said: “Ram Lalla has come to remind us of our duties”. He said Ram had to leave Ayodhya due to “kalah” (differences, strife), and reiterated the need to “stay united”.

Asserting that the whole country was happy today, Bhagwat commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his strict fast, hailing him as a “tapaswi” (ascetic).

Bhagwat’s speech reflected the tone and tenor of his write-up on Saturday, as reported by The Indian Express. Then too, he had called for an end to “bitterness”, “dispute” and “conflict”.

In his last Vijayadashami address, Bhagwat had exhorted people to celebrate the consecration of the Ram temple across the country. “We can do this by organising small programmes… creating an atmosphere of affection, responsibility and goodwill in society,” he had said.
