Lucknow, 26 July (HS): The book 'Matrubhoomi Stavan' was

released on Sunday at the Vishwa Samvad Kendra in the capital by All India

Pracharak Chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Swant Ranjan.

In his address on this occasion, Swant Ranjan said that when

the idea of nation and Sanatan appears together, it becomes extremely

important. He said that this book shows us the direction on how to move

forward. He said that books should be read, and after reading, they should be

written, but even more important is to tell them to people and make them reach

people. This book also teaches that a person does not need any cover, but

rather needs to understand human values. He said that we need to move from

mobile mode to action mode.

Describing the author of the book as a dedicated volunteer,

he said that there has always been a demand in the Shakha that whatever

experience one gets should be written regularly in the diary, because the aim

of the Sangh is to create good individuals and bring about qualitative

improvement.

He said that many organizations founded by volunteers are

today counted among the largest organizations in the world, but the practical

manifestation of the Sangh in the life of a volunteer is essential; that is our

true identity. Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, the founder of the Sangh, has

created a very beautiful system for the Sangh's propagators. The Sangh's

propagators do not work in the guise of a saint or sage or in any other attire.

They are engaged in the work of the nation in society in ordinary attire like

you. The work of the Sangh is done without any cover - the propagator or

volunteer only has to stay one step ahead of the society, there is no need to

look different.

Describing the book as having historical significance, he

said that it contains old Sangh songs and sayings, which instill values in

the mind and show direction. He urged volunteers to note down good things in

their diaries wherever they go, read them, and share them further.

Swantanjan said that the RSS is celebrating its centenary

year, and it is essential to disseminate the Sangh's teachings to society. He

expressed concern that many countries are spreading narratives against India,

and that the current generation has a responsibility to understand India deeply

and present its views strongly on the world stage. He emphasized the need to

foster positive discourse in society and to widely disseminate India's

perspective.

Dr. Sarva Narayan Jha, Director of the Central Sanskrit

University, Lucknow Campus, said that writing this book is like worshipping

Goddess Saraswati. He said that the book praises the motherland, and that there

is no difference between love for the mother and love for the motherland, even

though love and affection may be different in meaning. He described it as a

guiding force for volunteers.

On this occasion, A.K. Srivastava also remembered the author

of the book and said that he had unwavering faith in God and lived a pure and

virtuous life, there is a lot to learn from his life, salute to him.

Throwing light on the book, Dr. Chandrabhushan Tripathi said

that this book is the work of Babuji, who possessed an

extraordinary intellectual capacity and was constantly engaged in writing. He

added that his manuscript also mentions his first visit to the branch in 1960.

This book, written by a renowned astrologer, contains material such as mantras,

subhashitaani, Keshav archana, flag song, and a list of games. Describing it as

a rare and proud occasion for the family, he said that every volunteer must read

this book. He said that it is not just a book, but a scripture.

At the end of the program, Dr. Brijbhushan Tiwari expressed

his gratitude to all the guests and attendees, offering his thanks. Present on

this occasion were senior Sangh Pracharak Manojkant, regional editor of

Hindustan Samachar Dr. Rajesh Tiwari, regional organization minister of

Sanskrit Bharati Pramod Pandit, regional contact chief J.P. Singh, provincial

co-minister Ratneshwarmani Tripathi, K.K. Tiwari, and others.
