In Jaipur, Rajasthan, RSS leader Arun Kumar delivered a powerful speech during Vijayadashami celebrations at Hedgewar Basti in Harmada Nagar on October 2. As the Sah-Sarkaryavah of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, he turned the festival into a call for deeper reflection on faith, justice, and India’s enduring culture.
Arun Kumar called Vijayadashami more than just a festival—it’s a powerful symbol of belief and righteousness, where truth always triumphs over injustice. He highlighted how Indian culture stands out for its timeless strength. “While many civilizations have faded away, ours keeps rising above challenges,” he said, emphasizing its continuity through history.
The day held extra significance, as it marks the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. Arun Kumar praised Gandhi for linking India’s freedom struggle to values like swarajya, swadharma, and swadeshi, dreaming of Ramrajya and self-reliant villages. Shastri, he added, embodied simplicity, honesty, and bold leadership that inspired millions.
With the RSS marking its centenary year, Arun Kumar urged everyone to use this moment for introspection and fresh resolutions. “It’s not just about celebrating—it’s about looking back at our 100-year journey and stepping up for the future,” he told the crowd. He stressed that the Sangh’s goal isn’t self-glory but building a strong, empowered nation.
Drawing from founder Hedgewar’s vision, Arun Kumar explained that the RSS focuses on protecting religion, culture, and society to create a confident, organized community. This, he said, forms the bedrock of a powerful India—going beyond independence to drive real social change.
Looking ahead, he addressed key national challenges and outlined the RSS’s priorities: strengthening family bonds, promoting social harmony, protecting the environment, embracing swadeshi practices, and boosting civic duties. “Even if you can’t join our daily shakhas, weave these values into your life,” he appealed. “That’s the best way to honor the Sangh’s 100th year.” By living these principles, he promised, India could erase inequalities and achieve true progress.
The event buzzed with energy as 90 volunteers showcased impressive displays of group exercises, yoga, and traditional stick-fighting. Around 350 uniformed RSS volunteers, 250 women, and 200 local community members attended, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
Jaipur Sanghchalak Chain Singh Rajpurohit and Harmada Sanghchalak Mahavir Saini shared the stage with Arun Kumar. Senior physician Dr. Ashok Jhajharia from SMS Hospital served as the chief guest, adding a touch of community spirit to the Vijayadashami festivities.
