Sangh Samachar
Shri Guruji birth-centenary celebrations in Agra and Kolkata
Sadhana is the key to success
-K.S. Sudarshan
Sarsanghachalak Shri K.S. Sudarshan has said that the goal of uniting the Hindu society would be achieved by improving the qualities of swayamsevaks apart from increasing their number at the shakha. He said the daily shakha was the most effective medium of inculcating the sense of unity among swayamsevaks. ?Shakha is our sadhana. Since various hurdles come in the way of sadhana, we should not lose our path,? he said adding that the continuous practice leads to success. Shri Sudarshan was speaking at a function held in Agra to celebrate the birth centenary of Shri Guruji, the second Sarsanghachalak of RSS.
Talking about the expansion of Sangh work, he said the swayamsevaks should go to new places and also among new sections of the society with the view of the Sangh during the birth-centenary year. He said the quality and commitment to the goal should be developed among swayamsevaks through various activities at the shakha. He said the senior workers who visit the shakhas need to pay special attention to it. Dr Girish Chandra Saxena, former vice chancellor of Dr Ambedkar University and president of Shri Guruji Birth Centenary Celebrations Committee, Brij prant and other distinguished personalities were also present on the occasion.
Speaking at another function held in Kolkata by Shree Burrabazar Kumarsabha Pustakalaya, Dr Murli Manohar Joshi, former Union HRD Minister, said the country with great traditions does not require any support to become a super power but it needs to identify its asmita. He said the birth-centenary celebrations of Shri Guruji are relevant in today?s perspective as the separatist forces are creating troubles across the country. He further said Shri Guruji accepted the minorities as the members of an undivided Hindu family. He said Shri Guruji had given the real mantra for making India strong and powerful.
Swami Advaitanand Maharaj, president of Chinmaya Mission, Kolkata, described Shri Guruji as a karmath sannyasi and said that he realised god in the nation. Shri Asim Kumar Mitra, noted journalist also spoke on the occasion.(FOC)

Countrywide dharna by Kisan Sangh on April 3
FOC
Bharatiya Kisan Sangh has decided to organise dharnas at all district centres across the country on April 3 to protest against the UPA government?s decision to import wheat ignoring the sufficient wheat production in the country. The Kisan Sangh feels that the decision has been taken to benefit the multinational companies and it would further weaken the condition of Indian farmers.
The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, which met in Jabalpur recently, has demanded the UPA government to immediately withdraw the decision of importing wheat and cancel the licence of multinational companies. Addressing the delegates, Shri Sankata Prasad, Kisan Sangh president, said India did not need to import wheat since 1998 and during this period the country even exported wheat to certain countries. The wheat production is satisfactory and the decision to import five-lakh tonnes wheat is totally wrong and anti-Indian farmers. He said over 160 lakh tonnes wheat would be available in the market in this season, which has been priced at Rs 650 per quintal. Whereas the price of the imported wheat has been fixed at Rs 950 per quintal, which smacks of a major scam.
He further said the government had granted licence to several multinational companies to import wheat. These companies purchased the wheat from Indian farmers at lower prices and exported that to Bangladesh and other countries with major benefit. He said the reason of major price hike of wheat prices in India was this purchase by multinational companies. He said the interests of Indian farmers were compromised and hit adversely. Shri Sankta Prasad called upon the Indian farmers to adopt organic farming and use their own seeds, fertilizers as well as develop their own pesticides.
Speaking at the concluding ceremony of the three-day convention, Shri Mohan Bhagwat, Sarkaryavah of RSS, said Shri Guruji believed in individual personality and he always worked for making the nation prosperous. Shri Bhagwat guided the Kisan Sangh workers for all three days.

FOC
RSS Sarkaryavah Shri Mohan Bhagwat has urged the Government of India to support the cause of Tibetan people who are forced to become minority in their own country. ?India should come out openly for autonomy to Tibet and should make Tibet an issue during its further dialogue with China. It is necessary for the security of our own country also,? he said while speaking at a function organised by Bharat Tibet Sahayog Manch in Nagpur recently. The function was organised to release a Marathi novel, Buddha ka Teesara Netra, authored by Shri Pramod Barnerkar on freedom struggle of Tibetan people. Speaking on the occasion, Dr Kuldip Agnihotri, convenor of the Manch, said China wants to finish the existence of Tibet and that is why lakhs of Chinese are being settled there systematically. Dr Navang Raphel, information secretary of Tibetan government in exile also spoke on the occasion. Sarsanghachalak Shri K.S. Sudarshan was also present in the function as an audience.
For Indian a guest is like God
VSK, Chennai
Smt. Selvakumari and Smt. Kalai Selvi, sevikas of Dharapuram, Tamil Nadu, were on their way back after having darshan in a temple. They had covered many kilometers by foot and were naturally tired. Reaching Pattu Thurai, a hamlet on the way, they sat for a while on the anganam (fore-court) of a wayside house. As the two were conversing, the lady of the house emerged, holding two glasses of water in her hands and offered them to the weary yatris. She went back into the house once they returned the empty glasses, smiling gratefully at the lady, to whom they both were total strangers. Now, they started appreciating the kind gesture of the lady who had volunteered to quench their thirst. Just then the lady returned, holding two tumblers full to the brim with steaming coffee and offered them to the delighted atithis. The sevikas, though used to hear in bouddhik sessions of Rashtra Sevika Samiti, descriptions of uncommon virtues in so-called common people of Bharat, were pleasantly surprised that day by the thoughtful hospitality of that grihini. To the kind-hearted host, the sevikas introduced themselves as well as the work of the Samiti in organising Hindu women. They promised to invite her to a forthcoming utsav of the Samiti before taking leave of her. Of course, they kept their promise.
