Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) centenary celebrations in Delhi on Wednesday as the chief guest. In this program, PM Modi released a memorial postage stamp and coin, especially designing the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS )’s contribution to the nation. This year the Sangh will celebrate the centenary year from Vijayadashami to 2026 Vijayadashami.
Addressing the people present at the Dr. Ambedkar International Center, PM Modi said that it is our good fortune that we are getting to see the centenary year of an organization like Sangh. He greeted the volunteers and paid tribute to the founder of the Sangh Keshav Baliram Hedgewar.
Happy Mahanavami to the countrymen
PM Modi said during the ceremony, today is Mahanavami. Today is the day of Goddess Siddhidatri. I congratulate all the countrymen on Navratri. Tomorrow is the Mahaparva of Vijayadashami- the victory of justice over injustice, the victory of truth over untruth, the victory of light over darkness. Vijayadashami is a classic announcement of this idea and belief of Indian culture. It was not a coincidence to establish the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh 100 years ago on such a great festival. This was a revival of that tradition that has been going on for thousands of years. In which the nation is manifested in new incarnations to face the challenges of that era from time to time. In this era, the Sangh is a virtuous incarnation of the same eternal nation consciousness.
‘The sense of the union marked above the coin’
He informed that in memory of this proud journey of 100 years of the Sangh, the Government of India has issued special postage stamps and memory coins today. Describing the specialty of the coin issued by the PM, the PM said, “There is a national symbol on the one side of the 100 rupee coin and on the other hand there is a grand image of Bharat Mata in Varad-Mudra with Singh.” This is probably the first time in the history of independent India on Indian currency. The realization sentence of the Sangh is also inscribed on this coin- Rashtraya Swaha, Idan Rashtraya Idan Mama.
