Emphasising the importance of unity and harmony, RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday (15 October) said that Dharma unites all and uplifts them.
He was addressing RSS workers at the sports stadium in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir.
Bhagwat said that Hinduism is more than just a form of worship.
“Hinduism is not a way of worship but a Dharma. The one who not only tolerates, but accepts and respects all ways of worship and customs is a Hindu,” he said, reports Indian Express.
“This is the ideology of Bharat since centuries. Dharma does not take the extreme path, but the middle one," he added.
Bhagwat referenced various global efforts over the past two millennia aimed at ensuring human well-being and prosperity. However, he noted that these efforts haven't eradicated global challenges.
Highlighting current global tensions, he mentioned the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the renewed unrest in Israel.
“With the Russia-Ukraine war under way, conflict in Israel has started,” he said, adding that comforts are also creating problems with many fearing that the world of tomorrow might be run by machines.
“In such a scenario, the world feels only Bharat can show them the way because its people, despite their differences in religions, castes and regions, have lived in harmony for 3,000 years," he said.
