RSS Celebrates PM Modi’s 75th Birthday: From Humble Roots to Global Leader
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) showered praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he turned 75 on September 17. In a heartfelt message through its publication Organiser, the RSS hailed Modi for reshaping India’s destiny. They described his journey as a shift from a nation bogged down by corruption, indecision, and poor vision to a confident Vishwaguru—India’s ancient term for a world teacher—that commands global respect.
This milestone isn’t just about the Prime Minister’s birthday; it’s a tribute to India’s transformation under his leadership. Born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, a spiritual Buddhist town in Gujarat, Modi drew early inspiration from Swami Vivekananda. These influences fueled his dream of a modern India grounded in Dharma, its timeless values. The RSS noted how Modi’s global travels spark pride among the Indian diaspora, with his famous "hug diplomacy" showing strength and equality on the world stage.
At international forums like G20, BRICS, SCO, and QUAD, PM Modi has positioned India as a bold global power. He stands firm against tariffs, sanctions, or threats, boosting India’s stature as a key player in world affairs.
Modi’s story starts with a remarkable two-year spiritual quest at age 17. He trekked to the Himalayas, visited the Ramakrishna Mission, Buddhist centers, and ashrams. Back home, he joined the RSS in 1971, though he connected with the organization much earlier. Mentors like Balasaheb Deoras, Rajju Bhaiya, Eknath Ranade, Anantrao Kale, and K.K. Shastri shaped him. From Deoras, he learned crisis management during the 1979 Morbi dam disaster. From Shastri, he embraced the Karmayogi spirit—working tirelessly without seeking rewards. He also absorbed Deendayal Upadhyaya’s ideas on integral humanism.
Life as an RSS worker was tough. Modi woke at 4:30 am, owned little, and traveled endlessly. These habits stick with him today—he sleeps just four hours, works 18-20 hours daily, and adapts quickly to time zones on foreign trips.
His political rise kicked off in 2001 after the Gujarat earthquake. Sent as BJP’s relief coordinator, Modi soon became Gujarat’s Chief Minister. Under him, the state turned into a powerhouse of governance, infrastructure, and industry. Events like the Vibrant Gujarat summits drew massive global investments, and his disaster response set high standards.
By 2014, Modi’s leadership swept the nation. As Prime Minister, he promised "Minimum Government, Maximum Governance," shaking up Delhi’s bureaucratic ways. Ministers and officials ditched foreign holidays and short hours for visits to the Northeast, villages, and direct people engagement. Modi made it clear: governance means 24/7 duty, not perks.
Women emerged as his quiet backers, and he views birthdays as service opportunities, not parties. Since his mother Heeraben’s passing in 2022, these days carry a deeper emotional weight.
Under PM Modi, India is witnessing a cultural revival. The RSS spotlighted the Ram Mandir’s completion—a centuries-old dream come true. Projects like the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor and Mahakaal Lok blend spiritual heritage with modern facilities. Since 2014, India has reclaimed 642 artifacts, and the new Parliament building merges Dharma with democracy.
These aren’t mere builds; they’re symbols of pride, unity, and confidence. From handling the Gujarat earthquake and Assam floods to leading through COVID-19 and evacuating Indians from Ukraine and Sudan, Modi responds first and fast.
Modi officially joined RSS in 1971 and moved to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 1985. He climbed to BJP General Secretary by 1998, became Gujarat CM in 2001, and took oath as India’s Prime Minister in 2014. Today, as RSS marks his diamond jubilee, it celebrates a leader who turned personal grit into national glory.
