RSS Commemorates Centenary with Vijayadashami Festivities in Nagpur

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is set to celebrate its annual Vijayadashami event today at the Reshimbagh ground in Nagpur, coinciding with the final year of its centenary celebrations. This significant occasion is expected to draw a large number of participants, reflecting the organization's extensive influence and reach.

Founded in 1925 by Dr. Keshav Hedgewar, the RSS has grown to become one of the largest social organizations globally. The choice of Vijayadashami for its inception was symbolic, as it is a festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil. This year’s celebrations are particularly poignant as they mark a hundred years since the organization’s establishment in Nagpur.

The event will commence with a route march by the Swayamsevaks, followed by a ceremonial Shastra Pujan, which honors traditional weapons as symbols of valor and protection. Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, the current Sarsanghchalak, is scheduled to deliver the keynote address, which is anticipated to focus on the organization's values and its vision for the future.

The Vijayadashami celebrations not only highlight the RSS's historical roots but also serve as a platform for the organization to reinforce its commitment to social service and national integration. The event is expected to attract attention from various sectors of society, including political leaders and community members, emphasizing the RSS's role in contemporary Indian society.

Looking ahead, the RSS plans to continue its outreach and community service initiatives as part of its centenary legacy. Upcoming events and programs are likely to be announced, aiming to engage more individuals in its mission of promoting cultural and social values across the nation.
