A huge procession was held on the main roads holding saffron flags and shouting "Bharat Mata Ki Jai". Men, children and women of the Hindu community participated in the procession with a decorated vehicle containing the portrait of Bharat Mata.
The procession was started from the Ambedkar statue in the town at a program held at Somwarpet Nagar Mandal Waksa. Then the procession was held on the main road, Club Road, Madikeri Road, C.K. Subbaiah Road, Private Bus Stand, Thyagaraja Road and reached the GMP School Ground.
‘Jai Shri Ram, Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Vande Mataram, Navella Hindu Navella One, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Ki Jai..’ A procession was held with saffron shawls, saffron flags, band set, and Chandevaad.
RSS Pracharak Guruprasad, who gave a keynote speech on the stage of the ground, said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is celebrating its centenary year. The Sangh was started in Nagpur on Vijay Dashami in 1925. The organization has completed 100 years of service activities, he said.
The Sangh has made the all-round progress of the Hindu nation its mission. The responsibility of protecting Hinduism is not only the responsibility of organizations; it is the responsibility of Hindu society. We all are the children of Mother India, and it is our duty to protect Mother India, Guruprasad said.
Even today, there is a sense of division and difference in the name of caste in the country. An attempt is being made to divide Hindus and weaken religion in the name of caste census. Are Hindus living as Hindus? He said that awareness should be created, adding that Hindu culture remains due to the family system. We should live on the basis of Hindu culture. If we protect religion, religion will protect us. Protecting religion is not just the job of Swamiji, Sangh and institutions. It is the collective responsibility of Hindus, he said.
We should all practice Hindu culture. Patriotism should always be conscious. The idea should be that the country's interest comes first. Hindus should have patriotism, patriotism and social devotion. Hindu cultural values should be preserved and handed over to the next generation. Families are the center of preserving Hindu religion. He said that Hindu Sangam has been organized across the country for its awareness.
Priority should be given to environmental protection, use of indigenous materials, and indigenous lifestyle. Language is the carrier of culture. If it is not used, culture will be destroyed. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on the mother tongue, he said.
Vote bank politicians should come out: Sri Swatantra Basavalinga Swamiji of Mullur-Basavapatna Math, who was present, spoke and said that a conscious Hindu society should be involved in building a secure, strong and prosperous nation.
We should not back down. The idea of surveying the people is a part of Hindu society. Politicians should come out of their vote bank worries and think about the identity of the country.
There are some Swamijis in society today in the form of a demon called Kalanemi. He said that Hindu society is also suffering from such Swamijis, and criticized that it is a tragedy that the government that conducted the caste census did not know that there were 20 lakh illegal immigrants in Bengaluru.
If the situation continues like this, a situation will arise in the next 10 years where those who are now rejecting the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh will seek help from the RSS, said the Swamiji, adding that Hindu society should unite religiously. The youth should stay away from vices. They should live on the path of religion. In this regard, the responsibility of mothers has increased. He called for religious education to be given to children from a young age.
The chief guest was progressive farmer Nirmala Prakash, and the program was presided over by retired manager of Lead Bank M.B. Chinnappa. The taluk president of the committee K.T. Sanath, honorary president S.L. Seetharam, and city committee president Nandakumar were present on the stage.
