PM Modi Hails Mohan Bhagwat On 75th Birthday
Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended warm wishes to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on his 75th birthday. He praised Bhagwat’s service and leadership in strengthening cultural values and national unity.
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam And Bharat Ideals
Modi described Bhagwat as a living example of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” — the principle that the world is one family. He also reiterated Bhagwat’s long-standing support for “Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat” and underscored his contributions toward building harmony and fraternity.
Reflecting On Early Days
In a blog post, Modi recalled Mohan Bhagwat’s early years, including his upbringing influenced by his father Madhukar Rao Bhagwat. He noted how those mentoring and early experiences shaped Bhagwat’s dedication to social work, culture, and RSS at large.
Marking A Historic Moment
Modi noted that Bhagwat’s 75th birthday falls during the RSS’s centenary year. He connected the date September 11 with two contrasting historical events: Swami Vivekananda’s speech in Chicago in 1893 introducing universal brotherhood, and the tragic 9/11 attacks in 2001. Modi emphasized that Bhagwat’s life reaffirms cultural strength and spiritual commitment on such a symbolic day.
