New Delhi, April 4 The RSS has demonstrated a "remarkable ability" to awaken and expand the national consciousness of Bharat, despite efforts by some sections to create a divide in society along identity-based fault lines, a weekly magazine linked to the Hindutva outfit has said in its latest editorial.
The process began with the Vijayadashami Utsav, with the mobilization of active swayamsevaks from October 2025, the magazine noted. More than 62,000 programs, involving over 32 lakh swayamsevaks, were held in 15 days, it pointed out.
Besides this, "Path Sanchalan" (route marches) were organized at 22,000 places, with the participation of more than 25 lakh swayamsevaks.
"The first phase mobilized the critical mass of the awakened people who could take the campaign to the second stage," the "Organiser" magazine said in its editorial.
It said the "Griha Sampark Abhiyan" (door-to-door contact program) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to meet people at their homes and convey the organization's thought process and message of "Panch Parivartan" has so far resulted in reaching out to more than 10 crore households.
"And, this figure covers 37 out of 46 'prants'," it pointed out.
According to the editorial, the swayamsevaks who were active at some point and the people who have a positive view of the national reconstruction work undertaken by the Sangh could be reached through this campaign.
"The 'Supta', or latent, power of the nation was galvanised by this process. The swayamsevaks could also understand the common questions asked by the masses --admirers and critics-- about the Sangh and its objectives," it said.
"When efforts to create a gulf in society along identity-based faultlines coincide with an unstable global scenario, the Sangh has displayed a remarkable ability to awaken and expand the national consciousness of Bharat," the magazine's editor, Prafulla Ketkar, noted in the editorial.
The editorial further said community-level gatherings of Hindus at Hindu Sammelans, irrespective of caste, sect, religion or political affiliation, were attended by more than three crore men and women across the country.
The programmes were organised by local committees comprising eminent people and organisations, numbering 20 to 40, it said.
"The idea of working together for a social cause, finding solutions to prevalent problems, and setting the process of deliberation for constructive work began with this," it added.
In the same vein, two important programmes -- the "Sadbhav baithaks", meetings for social harmony, and the "Pramukh Jan Sangoshti", a confluence of eminent people in which the social and intellectual leadership of the society was brought on a common platform to inculcate the idea of working together separately for the national cause -- were held, the editorial said.
"In the process, the misconceptions about the Sangh, perpetuated by deliberate narratives or ignorance, were directly addressed by the Sangh leadership through an open question-and-answer session. The idea was not to convince but to communicate with the righteous power of the society," it added.
"Jagriti Shakti, Supta Shakti and Sajjan Shakti are the critical pillars for national reconstruction. Without getting into celebratory mode, Sangh utilised the occasion to reach out to unreached sections through local swayamsevaks and nationwide travel of the top leadership," the magazine said.
The highest decision-making body of the RSS -- the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinindhi Sabha (ABPS) -- met in Haryana's Samalkha, reviewing the Sangh's work done during 2025-26 and preparing its action plan for the future.
The three-day meeting concluded on March 15 with a resolve to expand organisational work, encourage active participation of the "positive forces" in national interest and strengthen social harmony.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale and all senior functionaries of the organisation attended the meeting. Top functionaries of the 32 RSS affiliates, including the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), also participated in the meeting.
