Mathura, 24

March (HS): Mohan

Bhagwat, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), visited Vrindavan

on Tuesday to launch the newly built Jeevan Deep Ashram. Bhagwat opened the

24-room Jeevan Deep Ashram in Vrindavan's Rukmini Vihar region, which was

founded by Mahamandaleshwar Yatindranand Giri, a former RSS pracharak.

Rashtriya

Swayamsevak Sangh chief Dr. Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday said of the ongoing war

between the United States, Israel, and Iran, that it is fueled by arrogance,

revenge, and a sense of self-righteousness. Those fighting are shooting

themselves in the foot. He said, The world knows that war causes harm.

Now they are regretting it. A new path will be found in India. Materialism alone

will not suffice. Spirituality will have to be taken along.

The

war is being waged with selfish motives, and people are making axe fall on

their own leg: The RSS chief also called for protection against infiltrators in

the country. He said it won't take long for us to identify them. Foreign

nationals living illegally should be identified and investigated by the

authorities, and such individuals should not be employed in our country. This

will prevent the rights of citizens from being violated.

There

is no aggression in our culture: RSS chief said that there is no aggression in

our culture, whereas there is aggression in the world's culture.

The

country's fifth ashram: This is the Mahamandaleshwar's fifth ashram in the

country. Vrindavan, the land of Lord Krishna's play, houses ashrams of various

sects and Akharas from across the country. The foundation stone of the

Jeevandeep Ashram, owned by Mahamandaleshwar Swami Yatindranand Giri of the

Juna Akhara, was laid two years ago by Bhaiyaji Joshi, the then Sarkaryavah of

the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh .

24

rooms in the Ashram: Apart from Mahamandaleshwar Yatindranand Giri's Jeevandeep

Ashram in Vrindavan, Jeevandeep Ashrams are also being run in Haridwar,

Roorkee, Lucknow, Hardoi. Through Jeevandeep Seva Nyas and Jeevandeep Academy

Gurukul, he is running works of spiritual education and social welfare. Apart

from the Lord Shri Radhakrishna temple, 24 rooms have been built in the Ashram.

Before taking initiation, Mahamandaleshwar was a pracharak of Rashtriya

Swayamsevak Sangh for 14 years.

Prominent

spiritual and political personalities attended the event, including Madhya

Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh

Pathak, and former governors Arif Mohammad Khan and Bhagat Singh Koshyari.

Security

Measures: District officials established a specific traffic diversion plan in

Mathura and Vrindavan to manage VVIP mobility, in addition to stringent

security precautions.

The

Jeevan Deep Ashram was created to serve as a center for spiritual study, yoga,

and meditation.
