Where Women Are Respected, There Resides the Divine: Dr. Dharmendra Singh
Pledge of Service and Dedication Taken at Key Public Gathering
Udaipur, April 13: The history of Hindu society has been inclusive and गौरवपूर्ण, and despite facing numerous challenges over time, no force has been able to diminish it. Owing to its values, philosophy, and way of life, this culture remains relevant globally even today. These views were expressed by Dr. Dharmendra Singh, Co-Provincial Pracharak, at a प्रमुख जन गोष्ठी organized by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Udaipur Mahanagar, at Seva Bharati Hospital.
Dr. Singh highlighted that in 1893, Swami Vivekananda introduced Indian culture and Hindu philosophy to the world through his address at the Chicago Parliament of Religions, which elevated India’s spiritual identity on a global platform.
He stated that prominent members of Hindu society have played leading roles in various fields and have carried out inspiring activities for social awakening, providing new direction to society. Such gatherings are organized to facilitate dialogue among key individuals, enabling consensus on important issues and collective efforts toward building an ideal society and a prosperous nation.
Emphasizing the importance of respect and security for women, he said that in Indian culture, women are regarded as divine, and where women are respected, divine blessings prevail. He called for strengthening this value further in society.
He also spoke about the nearly 100-year journey of the RSS, including the early life and patriotism of Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, his role in the freedom movement, the establishment of the organization, and various service activities carried out by affiliated institutions, including movements like the Ram Temple movement.
Providing information about programs being conducted in the centenary year of the RSS, he mentioned initiatives such as home contact campaigns, social harmony meetings, Hindu conferences, and public gatherings being organized at city and block levels, witnessing enthusiastic participation from society.
A large number of voluntary organizations participated in the gathering, actively working in areas such as education, healthcare, environment, women empowerment, community kitchens, and last rites for unclaimed deceased persons. Representatives of these organizations also shared details of their work.
Dr. Singh conveyed the message of social transformation through the concept of “Panch Parivartan,” emphasizing the importance of social harmony, family awareness, promotion of indigenous practices, civic discipline, and environmental conservation. He said that true service lies in reaching the last person in society with healthcare, education, and essential resources, making them self-reliant.
Following the keynote address, an interactive session was held where participants shared their views and suggestions. The seminar began with the worship of Bharat Mata and the singing of Vande Mataram, and concluded with the national anthem.
