Mohan Bhagwat Emphasizes Indias Role in Global Altruism at Maru Nidad 2026

Jodhpur, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), addressed over 5,000 volunteers at the Maru Nidad 2026 event held at Shri Rajaram Ashram in Jodhpur on Sunday. The event also saw more than 500 volunteers managing the arrangements, following a series of foot marches organized on Saturday.

During his speech, Bhagwat emphasized that a life free from all forms of addiction leads to happiness. He reiterated the RSS’s long-standing commitment to uniting society under a common purpose. “For this, we need to live a life that exemplifies how human life should be, so that all nations can learn from us,” he stated, advocating for a selfless existence.

He further declared that the very origin of this ancient nation is to bind the world through altruism. “We are a religious nation, but religion is not merely about rituals. It is simply about connecting the world through selfless acts,” Bhagwat explained. He noted that despite the challenges posed by various forms of addiction, the spirit of altruism remains ingrained in the culture.

Bhagwat shared a historical anecdote about a prince named Jimutavahana, who stood in for a serpent to save it from being eaten by a Garuda bird. This story, he said, illustrates the long-standing tradition of selflessness in India.
