RSS is wel known organization for its sewa work and its the biggest voluntary organization in world as told by BBC too. It's also fact that all people, swayamaevaks , wel wishers,opposite to RSS philosophy and those who oppose RSS theam of Hindutva, may disagree to RSS opinion in many things but all agree on one point that working system of Rss is unique to form strong, long lasting organization with principles of our age old system hindutva with our culture too.
Founder of this organization was great visionary whose birthday falls on same Varshapratipada or Gudipadava day. He was born on Chaitra Shukla 1st day, on 1st April 1889 at Nagpur. He created this organization with unique system of personal and social combined psychology of mind. Behind formation and working lies his vision and concluding result of working with different personal persons and different system too.only way to brighten our nation and to reach at it's past glory is to unite son of this soil Bharatmata.To awaken their past and prepare for nation is right way to remove all evil including slavery . Let us remember him on this auspicious occasion of his birthday.
He was patriotic since birth and self made like Lion is called 'Swayamev mrugendrata'. He was from family of typical angry nature and he himself angry too. His brother jumped from window to save female harassed by guns in street. He was one of prople who didn't stop to play musical instruments in front of Masjid which was not possible at that time due to weakness of hindu samaj. He played important role to guide volunteers at Ramtek mela which wad disturbed by muslims many times. He made group of hindu in more than 10 numbers running away due to threat by simple two Muslimsv to oppose them unitedly. His lecture for freedom fight in 1921 was such that he was sent to jail and when he was brought in court he argued more stronger than his Lecture. Such person when decided to organize people, he changed his nature and became sober . To change nature is next to difficult task , even for saints too. He mastered in this to organize society and cultivate them for patriotism.He never used strong speech for this work.
He had attractive nature to collect persons around him like magnet. He was popular among all from small boys to elders. Small boy who was standing near well is helped by dr Hedgevar to bath in well by applying rope at his waist. This intimacy made him to be good swaysevsk and pracharak too named Gopalrav. His daily visit to Akhada brought many Akhadian to Shakha. Once he had gone to see musical competition arranged by Bharatiya sangit vidyalay and Abhinav sangit shala. He saw good boy singing there, liked him and his art. He brought boy to his home for study and natured his patriotism just by silent message by his own working style for nation. He never told or spoke to him about RSS at all. Boy became rss pracharak who founded rss work in south India named as Yadavrav Joshi. Person playing football on day of Lokmanya Tilak demise was scolded by doctorj saying that on day of duch event you wasting times in games then he joined RSS and became sincere worker named Dadarav Parmarth. Doctorji brought Appaji to join RSS from congress. He identified all diamonds and shaped them to work for nation. He sent them to different corners of country for Shakha . They were Balasaheb Deoras, Bhavrao Deoras ,Appaji joshi, Dadarav Parmarth , Bhisikarji,Bhaiyaji Dani etc.
He had worked as krantikari too moaned as cocaine in Anushilan Samiti. His old friends Of this old work were helped by him like Bhavaji katre for his last rights . He helped many to save arrest by english government.
He went to Kolkata to be doctor and became MNMS just to get well wished for his patriotic work and to remain in contact with revolutionary. He ultimately decided to organize society by practical work on ground by Sanskar making on them.Way to this lead to formation of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and method for this called Shakha.
He remained unmarried ,told no for this to his uncle as his only mission in life was to work for nation. Though-his family was very poor he never worked to earn money. He had no proper things at home to serve even tea sometimes to guests. But he never asked for help.Even people were not able to ask him to get helped due to his nature of self sufficiency and Swabhiman . He never cared for family but for country.
He went twice in jail once in 1921 for speech for freedom and in 1930 for jungle satyagraha. Whenever he was in jail, made friends there too and joined them with RSS.
Once early morning went to meet Ruikar well known communist of Nagpur and told him 'will u like if you have dream of King Shivaji came back to rule' . He replied yes obviously. Dr Hedgevar told we tell same things.
He cared for all. Once in severe hot of noon , he was going to see boy with fever. Once he asked one swaysevsk to manage for hoarse-cart. But he could not manage . Doctorji went himself to manage same and visited that fellow at night to tell him sleep with ease as work has been done, nothing to worry. He always showing letters written by him to surrounding swayamaevaks just for their indirect education.
His name not known to so many people as we came to know in his birth centenary year function in 1989. Pandurang dada told in mumbai sabha that I had come to salute his work of Deshbhakti. Margaret threchar came to HSS function in uk to pranam his work on makarsankranti day..He is known by his work of RSS . He kept his name silent everywhere and he was not hungry for name to spread . His work is his message.
He told so many times to swayamsevaks that you had made me sarsanghchalak. You can tell me to leave this post when I am
Not following principles of this work. I will like to work as Swayamsevak after leaving sar sanghchalak position.
At final destination nearing and death was inevitable he wanted for Hindu Rashtra to be formed early. He told to all that never forget work and never have time in life to speak that ' I was with RSS'
He last saw all swayamaevaks in OTC in 1940. He gave small but inspiriting talk. He told I am seeing small.. Laghu Hindu Rashtra
While returning from farewell to dr Hedgevar from crematorium one swayamaevak asked water to drink from one home , owner female spoke to him : though he was common man but did uncommon task.
In mourning meeting of young Bal swayamaevak of one Shakha all were weeping , not able to speak anything. Then one gatnayak stood up and told all not to weep and just work as all we are Hedgevar
I think this is message for today to work by all on way suggested by him. His karma Smruti should become our karma kruti.
