#WATCH | Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman & Nicobar Islands: On 115 years of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar's poem 'Sagara Pran Talmalala', HM Amit Shah says, "We have all come together on a holy land. Before independence, nobody used to come here on their own. Whoever was brought here, their family used to forget them. In that era, nobody used to think that anyone could even return after serving a sentence at 'Kala Pani'. By the time they returned, their body, mind, and soul would be so fragile that they could never fully recover. But today, it is a pilgrimage site for all Indians because Veer Savarkar spent the most difficult years of his life here..."

Moment of pride in Andaman, where every grain of sand echoed the courage of Veer Savarkar!
Hon’ble Sarsanghachalak Shri. Mohan Bhagwat Ji and Hon’ble Union Home Minister Shri. Amitbhai Shah unveiled the grand statue of Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and inaugurated the ‘Veer Savarkar Prerna Park’ and I was honoured to witness this historic moment.
Standing on the very land where Vinayak Damodar Savarkar endured unimaginable torture, solitary confinement and decades of imprisonment for Bharat, one is reminded of his unshakeable resolve and limitless love for the motherland. His fearless spirit, forged in the darkness of the Cellular Jail, continues to guide India with the ideals of cultural nationalism and national unity.
This majestic statue will stand as a timeless symbol of his sacrifice, an inspiration for generations to come, reminding every Indian that courage, conviction and patriotism can never be shackled.
Veer Savarkar lives on… in our souls, our history and our future.
राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के सरसंघचालक आदरणीय डॉ. मोहन भागवत जी, स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकर जी द्वारा रचित कविता ‘सागरा प्राण तळमळला’ के 115 वर्ष पूर्ण होने पर श्री विजयपुरम में आयोजित कार्यक्रम को संबोधित कर रहे हैं... https://t.co/qEHFAWXgEm
असंख्य स्वाधीनता सेनानियों की बलिदान-भूमि अंडमान-निकोबार में वीर सावरकर जी की प्रतिमा का आदरणीय सरसंघचालक डॉ. मोहन भागवत जी के हाथों अनावरण होना सोने पर सुहागा है।
वीर सावरकर जी ने वीरता को परिभाषित करते हुए कहा, ‘वीरता भय का अभाव नहीं है, वीरता भय पर प्राप्त की हुई विजय है’ और उन्होंने इसे अपने जीवन में उतारकर दिखाया।
वीर सावरकर जी द्वारा रचित ‘सागरा प्राण तळमळला’ मातृभूमि के प्रति असीम श्रद्धा और भक्ति की वह भावांजलि है, जिसका शब्दों में वर्णन करना असंभव है। मन में जन्मभूमि के प्रति लगाव को और भी गहरा, संवेदनशील व प्रगाढ़ बनाने वाले इस अमर गीत के 115 वर्ष पूर्ण होने पर आज अंडमान के श्री विजयपुरम में आदरणीय सरसंघचालक डॉ. मोहन भागवत जी की गरिमामयी उपस्थिति में आयोजित कार्यक्रम में सावरकर जी के व्यक्तित्व व कृतित्व को स्मरण किया।
भारतीय संस्कृति की महान यात्रा में जन्मभूमि के महत्त्व, उसके लिए त्याग व हजारों क्रांतिवीरों की स्वाधीनता की उत्कट अभिलाषा, इन सभी का सार ‘सागरा प्राण तळमळला’ युवाओं को अवश्य पढ़नी चाहिए और राष्ट्र के गौरव को और भी ऊँचाई देने का संकल्प लेना चाहिए।
