Namaste Sada Vatsale Matrubhume...

Namaste Sada Vatsale (Sanskrit: नमस्ते सदा वत्सले) is Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's prayer. This prayer is in Sanskrit except last line which is in Hindi. It is compulsory to sing this prayer in all programs of Sangh. It was written by Shri Narhar Narayan Bhide, a Sanskrit professor in guidance of Dr. K. B. Hedgewar and Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar.


नमस्ते सदा वत्सले मातृभूमे,
त्वया हिन्दुभूमे सुखं वर्धितोहम् । 
महामङ्गले पुण्यभूमे त्वदर्थे,
पतत्वेष कायो नमस्ते नमस्ते ।।१।। 
प्रभो शक्तिमन् हिन्दुराष्ट्राङ्गभूता,
इमे सादरं त्वां नमामो वयम् |
त्वदीयाय कार्याय बध्दा कटीयं,
शुभामाशिषं देहि तत्पूर्तये ||
अजय्यां च विश्वस्य देहीश शक्तिं,
सुशीलं जगद्येन नम्रं भवेत् |
श्रुतं चैव यत्कण्टकाकीर्ण मार्गं,
स्वयं स्वीकृतं नः सुगं कारयेत् ।।१।। 
समुत्कर्षनिःश्रेयसस्यैकमुग्रं
परं साधनं नाम वीरव्रतम्
तदन्तः स्फुरत्वक्षया ध्येयनिष्ठा
हृदन्तः प्रजागर्तु तीव्रानिशम् ।
विजेत्री च नः संहता कार्यशक्तिर्
विधायास्य धर्मस्य संरक्षणम् ।
परं वैभवं नेतुमेतत् स्वराष्ट्रं
समर्था भवत्वाशिषा ते भृशम् ।।३।। 
भारत माता की जय ।।
Meaning:
Forever I bow to thee, O Loving Motherland! O Motherland of us, Thou hast brought me up in happiness. May my life, O great and blessed Holy Land, be laid down in Thy Cause. I bow to Thee again and again. We the children of the Nation bow to Thee in reverence, O Almighty God. We have braced up to carry on Thy work. Give us Thy holy blessings for its fulfillment. O Lord! Grant us such might as no power on earth can ever challenge, such purity of character as would command the respect of the whole world and such knowledge as would make easy the thorny path that we have voluntarily chosen. May we be inspired with the spirit of stern heroism, that is sole and ultimate means of attaining the highest spiritual bliss with the greatest temporal prosperity. May intense and everlasting devotion to our ideal ever enthuse our hearts. May our victorious organised power of action, by Thy Grace, be wholly capable of protecting our dharma and leading this nation of ours to the highest pinnacle of glory.
Namaste!

I have just begun to collect flowers!

In 1955, during the 51st birthday celebrations of Param Poojaneeya Guruji, a meeting of Karyakartas was held at Calicut in which many Pracharaks including Shankar Shastri Ji and Venuettan had assembled. To everyone's surprise, Mananiya Dattopant Thengadiji arrived at the meeting. He had no official programs planned at Calicut. Curiously, Shastri Ji inquired about the purpose of his visit. "A swayamsevak from Feroke (near Calicut) has written to me about starting a BMS unit in his tile factory", replied Thengdiji. "I'm here to meet him". Quite soon, the swayamsevak arrived and took Thengadiji to Feroke. After a few hours, Thengadiji returned to Calicut, after forming a temporary committee of BMS at Feroke. Back at the office, Venuettan asked him if there were any BMS units anywhere else near Calicut. As always, Thengadiji's cool reply was that there were units in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bhopal and Hyderabad. "With the other units so far, how can ...

Punctuality and Discipline

When we conduct daily Shakha, mistakes are natural. The duty of correcting such mistakes falls upon the senior Karyakartas of that Shakha. The preparations for Sangh's winter camps are begun one month prior to the event. During one such event, a few swayamsevaks reached the campsite very late. Mananeeya Balasahebji, who was in charge of the camp was really disappointed at this. Later that day, in the meeting, he said: "The most important work has been handed over to the most incompetent men…." Those fiery words struck everyone. From the next day, everyone was sharp on time. Mananeeya Balasahebji's words didn't hurt the swayamsevaks, but taught them a lesson. This incident is still narrated in the Sangh circles to suggest that punctuality is very important to discipline. Namaste!

Bhavishyapurana and Muslims | Mahamadas | Talks with Guru | 4 mins.

Disciple: In a Q&A session with an eminent Muslim scholar, I came to hear the following argument: In the Bhavishyapurana, there are references that after 4000 years, a man named Muhammed would come and he should be given due respect and reverence. Is this true? What is Guru’s take on this? Guru: The fundamental basis of the Sanatana-Dharma-Shastra is the Vedas. Vedas have 4 parts [Samhitas, Aranyakas, Brahmanas and Upanishads], 6 Angas [Shiksha, Kalpa, Vyakarana, Nirukta, Jyotisha and Chandas] and 5 Upavedas [Ayurveda, Dhanurveda, Sthapathya-veda, Gandharva-veda and Arthashastra]. Since the complex concepts in the Vedas are unfathomable for common people, they have been explained with the help of stories (in ‘Puranas’) and biographies (in ‘Itihasas’/epics). Hence, the Vedas and their allied scriptures are considered as the primary sciences and the Itihasa-Puranas as secondary. Now, among the Puranas, the 18 Maha-puranas command primary status. The Bhavishya-purana in questio...
