RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Highlights 'Dharm' as Distinct from Religion at Youth Event
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed around 1,700 Gen Z participants at the Yuva Dharma Sansad in Ujjain, emphasizing that 'dharm' (righteousness) is inherent in Indian culture and distinct from Western notions of religion. He described dharm as a guiding discipline that transcends religion, which he said binds, while dharm liberates and leads to salvation. Bhagwat urged youth to shed prejudices and respect diverse worship forms, linking unrighteousness to environmental harm. The event included scholars and religious leaders, with future editions planned.
