RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Urges Inner Search for Truth at Indore Book Launch
In Indore, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat delivered a powerful speech on Sunday at the Brilliant Convention Centre. He called on people to look inside themselves for truth and practice spiritual discipline to spark personal change and bring the nation together. The event marked the launch of Parikrama Kripa Saar, a book by Union Minister Prahlad Singh Patel. It details his spiritual journey along the sacred Narmada River.
Bhagwat spoke to a lively crowd of scholars, saints, and everyday folks. His words went beyond just praising the book—they dove deep into India’s rich spiritual heritage. He painted the Narmada not as an ordinary river, but as a symbol of strength, purity, and inner awakening.
"Narmada isn’t just a river; she’s a living force," Bhagwat said. "She flows through the land and into the minds of those who walk her banks. The parikrama pilgrimage isn’t about miles on foot—it’s a soul-stirring adventure."
He explained how the Narmada teaches big life lessons like letting go, staying patient, and embracing life’s ups and downs. "Walking her path transforms you," he added. "The river shows you to slow down, listen deeply, and let go of your ego in something bigger."
Bhagwat highlighted the Narmada’s calm power. Unlike wild rivers that flood or rage, she moves with grace and steadiness—qualities he said we all need for personal growth and a harmonious society. "In her quiet flow, she speaks volumes. In her stillness, she touches hearts," he noted.
He gave a shoutout to Prahlad Patel for his book, saying it captures the emotional and spiritual side of the journey, not just the travel details. "This isn’t a simple travel story—it’s proof of what faith can do when you walk with heart," Bhagwat remarked.
Tying it all together, Bhagwat stressed that real power comes from self-reflection and spiritual practice, not from loud battles or showy wins. His message hit home with many in the audience, including those who’ve done the Narmada parikrama themselves. It reminded everyone that India’s revival starts with looking inward.
Bhagwat also touched on the clash between science and spirituality in India. "Science needs outside proof," he said. "But our traditions rely on inner faith—shraddha—that gives its own clear evidence. You just need honest effort and personal trials to feel it."
He used the image of "Bhawani Shankar" to show how faith and trust unite, proving that God lives within us. "The divine is inside you," he declared. "But today’s world ignores that inner truth. Thinking ‘nothing exists’ is just an illusion. Under all names and forms, there’s only One. Diversity seems real, but unity is the lasting truth."
Bhagwat connected this to global problems, blaming conflicts on the "me vs. you" mindset. "Our ancestors knew this separation is temporary," he said. "It doesn’t last forever."
He pushed for sadhana—spiritual discipline—as the way forward. "Many paths lead to it," Bhagwat explained. "You might face confusion and fights along the way, but push through to find clarity."
In a fun twist, he shared a story from a play about Aurangzeb. The actor broke character and yelled in English, "Get out! You can’t conquer them!" It drove home the point: no outside force can win if your inner strength holds firm.
Bhagwat’s talk mixed deep thoughts on spirituality with nods to Indian culture, urging everyone to rise above divisions and rediscover our shared unity. His words feel timely as India debates science, traditions, and national identity more than ever.
