RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat attended a program of Vidarbha Sanskar Bharati in Nagpur. Bhagwat’s visit coincided with the completion of 100 years of the RSS. In his address at the Hedgewar Smriti Bhavan, Bhagwat stated that art in our culture is not merely for entertainment. He emphasized the vision of ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram,’ which encapsulates Hindu philosophy of art, where truth, divinity, and beauty are intertwined. He added that our perspective on art should also reflect ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram,’ as it fosters good character.
He further elaborated on the significance of culture, noting that it is sustained by values and that the purpose of art is to cultivate these values. At the Hedgewar Smriti Bhavan, Vidarbha Sanskar Bharati organized a display of portraits, rangoli, and a booklet to honor 101 selected deceased RSS campaigners and workers.
The centenary celebrations will continue for a year. The head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh mentioned that the RSS has completed 100 years. The celebrations will continue for one year to commemorate this milestone, reflecting on the organization’s journey, its challenges, and its growth. The centenary year has specific guidelines.
The RSS volunteers will execute the centenary activities. The volunteers are involved in several organizations, and the organizations will not act independently. The centenary programs have been decided, in which the volunteers of the RSS, along with the organizations they are a part of, will work as per the RSS’s plan.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh will celebrate the completion of its 100 years starting from this year’s Dussehra. Seven major programs will be organized across the country from October 2, 2025, to October 20, 2026.
The objective is to present the RSS’s hundred-year journey, current challenges, and solutions to society. These programs will be held from the local to the provincial levels. In West Bengal, the series of events has already begun from the first day of Navratri.
