Rakshabandhan: The Unbroken Bond 57

(If I want the entire world to see me as its friend, I also
have to see the world as my friend.)

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has brought a ray
of hope through their passionate approach for enabling people
to experience the unity of souls. Young and old alike come
together as the children of Mother India and proclaim:

Pure love is fundamental of our work.
Love recognizes only devotion.

Doing this regularly helps strengthen their bond of
brotherhood. The consistency in speech and behavior leads to
strong bonding between hearts. This helps create a small model
of the type of world that we want to create for everyone –
friendly and harmonious; free from bitterness and inequality.

If the issue of cow-fat on a cartridge could become the seed
of a massive revolution; if Tilak could turn the Ganesh festival
into a symbol for the freedom fights; if Gandhiji could raise the
cry for freedom in millions of Indian hearts using a humble
spindle; if the procession of Mother Ganga and Mother India
can go around the entire nation in thirty days; then why can
Rakshabandhan not become the inspiration for social harmony?

Let us once again proclaim ‘Am¤tasya Putr¡:’. Let us strive
towards enlivening our social fabric with the nectar of harmony
and create a nation that pulsates with equality and brotherhood.
