Speaking at the conclusion of the 'World Sangh Camp' in Telangana's Ranga Reddy district, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat urged Hindus to unite and elevate Sanatan Dharma to greater heights. He remarked that India’s aim is not to display power but to guide the world through its values.

Explaining the concept of 'Vishwaguru', Bhagwat clarified that India’s role as a global teacher isn’t out of personal ambition but a necessity for the world. Achieving this doesn’t happen spontaneously; it demands continuous and rigorous effort, something that the RSS contributes to significantly through its social and cultural endeavors.

Drawing on the ideas of 20th-century spiritual leader Yogi Aurobindo, Bhagwat mentioned that the concept of revitalizing Sanatan Dharma was expressed long ago. He noted that a century-old process of revival now needs to be advanced through collective commitment. According to the RSS Chief, the time has come, as Yogi Aurobindo proclaimed over a century ago, for the rejuvenation of Sanatan Dharma and the rise of a Hindu nation, which are synonymous with Bharat, Hindu nation, Sanatan Dharma, and Hindutva. He called for a united Hindu community to uplift Sanatan Dharma.

Bhagwat emphasized that RSS-affiliated organizations in India and overseas share the same goal—organizing Hindu society and showcasing a disciplined, value-driven life to the world. Highlighting India’s global role, he stressed the need for persistent efforts across various domains to achieve the status of 'Vishwaguru'. Bhagwat noted that the RSS focuses on personal development and sends volunteers to drive positive change across different societal sectors, gaining admiration and trust for their initiatives.

Discussing technology and the future, Bhagwat predicted a growing influence of technology, social media, and artificial intelligence (AI). He insisted that humanity must not become subordinate to technology but should harness human intellect for global welfare rather than destructive tendencies. Bhagwat urged the use of technology for divine purposes rather than demonic inclinations, emphasizing that these principles should be demonstrated in practice rather than speeches alone. By leading with their conduct, people may embrace Indian philosophies and values for their way of life.
