Today, on the special occasion of RSS Sthapana Divas, my greetings to all Swayamsevaks. I also pay homage to all those greats who have nurtured the RSS over the years.
The RSS has completed a remarkable century of service, nation-building and social harmony. Countless Swayamsevaks have worked for society with a deep sense of duty and a nation-first spirit.
May this spirit keep strengthening national development in the times to come.
राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के स्थापना दिवस के विशेष अवसर पर सभी स्वयंसेवकों को मेरी हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं! मैं उन सभी विभूतियों को भी नमन करता हूं, जिन्होंने अपने अथक परिश्रम और सेवाभाव से संघ को सींचा और संवारा है।
राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ ने सेवा, राष्ट्र निर्माण और सामाजिक प्रतिबद्धता का गौरवशाली शताब्दी वर्ष पूर्ण किया है। अनगिनत स्वयंसेवकों ने अपने समर्पण, कर्तव्य-निष्ठा और राष्ट्र-प्रथम की भावना से सदैव समाज के उत्थान के लिए कार्य किया है।
मुझे विश्वास है कि यह भावना आने वाले समय में भी देश को और सशक्त एवं सुदृढ़ करेगी।

🚨 A Taco Bell cashier in Palatine, Illinois decided that Indian people were subhumans who needed to be killed.
He did not arrive at this conclusion in a vacuum.
For months he watched politicians call Indian visa holders “indentured servants.” He watched propaganda spread across social media about Indians running scams, holding fake degrees, stealing jobs.
He watched online mobs call them roaches, vermin, demon worshippers, filthy invaders.
He watched elected officials stay silent through all of it.
He wrote an eight-page manifesto. He loaded an AR-style rifle. He put on tactical body armor bearing white supremacist patches.
He put gasoline cans in his car.
He drove to the largest Hindu temple in Aurora on Day 1 of Navratri, pulled the trigger, and the gun jammed.
He called his coworker from the car. Said the gun jammed. Sent photos of the rifle. Sent a photo of himself in full tactical gear. Sent the manifesto.
The coworker called the police.
One gun malfunction.
One decent human being.
That is all that stood between a Hindu congregation and a mass shooting and fire on Navratri.
This is what unchallenged hatred produces.
His rifle was loaded with the words you chose not to challenge.

My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.
HAF strongly opposes the death sentence imposed on Anojan Sivarasa, a 24-year-old Hindu and Sri Lankan national facing execution in Saudi Arabia over a social media comment deemed blasphemous.
As HAF has long emphasized in its advocacy, blasphemy laws threaten religious freedom and have been used to justify unjust imprisonment and extrajudicial violence. No one should face execution for an expression of opinion, particularly in a case where the reported comment was deleted and an apology was issued.
Protecting religious freedom means safeguarding the right of people of all faiths—and those of no faith—to express themselves without fear of state-sanctioned or extrajudicial violence. Blasphemy laws undermine these fundamental freedoms and deepen divisions between communities rather than foster mutual respect.
HAF calls on Saudi authorities to overturn Sivarasa’s death sentence and ensure that his fundamental rights are protected. We urge the international community to continue pressing for the global repeal of blasphemy laws and for the protection of freedom of expression and conscience for all
Respect for religious beliefs cannot be secured through fear, coercion, or the threat of death.

On pluralism, Dr. Mohan Bhagwat told faith leaders in New York: "Diversity is a decoration of our inner unity. It has to be accepted, respected, and preserved."
Difference is ornament, not obstacle!
#UniversalOneness#RSSinUSA@uni1ness@aheadforum1
Burning with anti-Hindu hatred, groups opposing the 'Universal Oneness' Celebration in New York are running a malicious campaign to cancel the event.
They have crossed the line from political dissent into a dishonest, systemic campaign of hostility.
Not only does this attack the First Amendment rights of American citizens, but it also puts minority Hindu-Americans in harm’s way.
These groups have a documented history of Hinduphobic activity, including, for example in 2021... (see below)
Thread
Mohan Bhagwat is scheduled to visit USA and Canada and with this the same usual ecosystem get active to target his visit
Who are these people
Lets expose them

IAMC: Anti-Hindu Rhetoric and Alleged Islamist Ties
A Middle East Forum investigation revealed that IAMC has maintained relationships with Islamist figures and individuals linked to extremist organizations, while also accusing the group of anti-Hindu rhetoric https://t.co/AIRDttbIWl
100+ community organizations are partnering to bring the Universal Oneness Celebration to New York City! Faith leaders and cultural performances will come together for this historic event. Stay tuned for more updates!
It was an inside job!
We’ve watched our @Wikipedia page completely defaced & vandalized for 5 years that rendered @HinduAmerican unrecognizable.
This investigation by @AshleyRindsberg@npovmedia blows the cover off of what appears to be a concerted attack on HAF by a cabal of 4 editors—two of whom are apparently tied to Audrey Truschke & the fringe group, Hindus for Human Rights.
Trangabellam, Kautilya3, Lightex and Shainshah121 are responsible for 80% of the entire content of the HAF wiki page. Who are they?
✅Trangabellam created, protected & shaped Audrey Truschke’s Wikipedia page while they defaced HAF’s with unsubstantiated slurs.
✅Lightex actually disclosed “past work with “Hindus for Human Rights,” created that group’s wiki page (against wiki’s own rules) & then attacked HAF’s wiki page changing the lead to cast HAF as a “far-right nationalist organization.”
✅ Shahinshah121 added false allegations that HAF is “Hindutva” & “under investigation by the DOJ for acting as a foreign agent” while promoting Truschke’s “South Asian Scholars Collective” within hours of it being formed.
✅ Kautilya3, the 2nd most active editor of the HAF page, erased all information that provided an HAF perspective to allegations, including that “HAF has absolutely no links” to various foreign orgs. He then added the line that “HAF repackaged the Hindu nationalist agenda in the language of ‘Hindu rights’ to suit mainstream American politics.”
So I know many will ask, “Why are you crying about this on twitter—do something about it.”
Well, read the full article and see how one of Wikipedia’s 32 most powerful editors, Vanamonde93 blocked attempts to balance the HAF Wiki page and actually defaced it further.
Watch the video below and read the full article. If this can happen to the oldest and most respected Hindu American organization in the United States, who else is in the crosshairs? Who’s next?
Remembering Veer Savarkar on his Jayanti. His courage and patriotism will always inspire people. His intellect and emphasis on social reform are also noteworthy.
This is totally false.
Not an iota of truth in this.
There is no question of putting such restrictions on foreign travel.
We remain committed to improving ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and ‘Ease of Living’ for our people.
Today, I feel profoundly blessed to witness a moment of ultimate grace. With immense ‘anugraha’, my Appa & Amma have donated our family home in Kochi to ‘Seva Bharathi’, to be used for a noble and higher purpose in the years to come. (1/3) 🧵
Happy that US Department of Justice and US Attorney General of New Jersey have closed the 4 year investigation of labor discrimination and casteism against BAPS temple in NJ, with no charges filed.
At the same time, the severe test of character, trial by fire by big media houses like @nytimes and @NPR and a malicious witch hunt and propaganda against Hindu Institutions and Hindu religion has caused a severe long term impact.
Can Hindu Americans counter the propaganda, misinformation and protect their institutions, and their future generations.
Vigilance, Courage and Unity are the need of the hour.

Hello @HMOIndia@PMOIndia this fellow is trying to incite disaffection between states and communities at a time of war. He has already caused riots and beheadings in the past. How many more people have to die before you act?
After a terrible terrorist attack in Pahalgam killed innocent Hindu people, Hindu Americans in Los Angeles held a candlelight vigil outside the Pakistan Consulate. They were joined by Jewish friends, Jains, and other local Americans who stood together with them. The group grieved for the 26 people who died and demanded that the attackers be brought to justice. This coming together shows that everyone agrees terrorism is wrong and has no place in our world.
