'Don't have to convert anyone but teach how to live': RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on religious conversion

Bilaspur, Nov 20: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday called for moving forward together in order to make India a “Vishwa Guru” and emphasized on power of organization in the present ‘Kalyug’ era as the weak is always exploited.

 

 

Addressing an event at Ghosh Shivir on Friday said, the RSS chief said, "We don't have to convert anyone but teach how to live. We were born in the land of Bharat to give such a lesson to the whole world. Our sect makes good human beings without changing anyone's worship system. Anyone trying to disturb the tune will be fixed by the rhythm of the country. Need is to move forward together with coordination in order to make India a Vishwa guru."

 

 

The Indian society is diverse and has many gods and goddesses, but everyone has to be taken forward together, a process which is going on for centuries, he said and added teachings of Hindu religion need to be given to the world without trying to convert anyone. “There is diversity in our society. There are many gods and goddesses, it doesn’t matter. Everyone has to be taken forward together, which has been going on for centuries. We don’t need to change anyone and we will not let our people change,” he added.

 

 

Addressing the concluding function of a three-day ‘Ghosh Shivir’ (musical bands camp) in Madku Dweep in Chhattisgarh’s Mungeli district, he said India’s religion is truth and the country has shown the way of truth to the world. Bhagwat said that they believe that the entire world is a family. "We are the ones who believe that the entire world is our family. We have to give that truth to the world with our behaviour," Bhagwat said.

 

 

“Truth always wins. Lies never win. The religion of our country is truth and truth is religion. People of India are considered special in the world because, in ancient times, our saints attained truth. If we look at history, it is seen that when someone (country) stumbled and got confused, it came to India to find a way,” the RSS chief said.

 

 

He said “our religion, which people today call Hindu religion, needs to be given to the world” and, without trying to convert, “we have to teach a way which is not worship, but a way of living”. Hailing the presentation of musical bands in the event, Bhagwat said, “You have seen in this Ghosh Shivir, everyone was playing different instruments. What kept them united was their tune. There are different languages, provinces (in the country) but the tune at our core is the same,” he said.
