India could play a meaningful role in sharing the universal values of Sanatan Dharma with the global community, said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday.
Addressing a gathering after attending the temple pratishtha and Kumbhabhishekham ceremony of Maa Soundarya Chinmayi at Mohanpur near Agartala, the RSS chief without naming any world leader remarked that despite knowing serious difficulties such actions may cause, agendas driven by self-interest rigid ideologies and fanaticism are being forcefully pushed.
Advocating strongly for construction of temples, Bhagwat said earlier temples used to be the centre of community life. He emphasised that construction of temples was not limited to mere offering prayers alone but played an instrumental role in enlightening the society.
He underlined that without bhakti (devotion), shakti (power) becomes nothing but a sheer nuisance.
Cautioning against the nefarious attempts by external forces to disturb the social fabric of India, the RSS chief said unity in diversity remains the nation’s core value.
Highlighting the civilisational depth of India, he noted that the present nature, character and culture has evolved over centuries shaped by external influences and internal experiences.
Expressing deep concern on the ongoing conflicts across the world without naming them, he said that once a war breaks out, it rarely comes to a quick end.
The programme was attended by Tripura Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu, Maharashtra Governor Jishnu Dev Varma and Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha.
