The head of India’s premier cultural organization, RSS Sarkaryavah Mohan Bhagwat, will grace Gujarat with a packed two-day schedule beginning Wednesday. Amid his national duties, this visit promises deep dives into faith and fellowship.
Touching down in Ahmedabad by 10:30 AM Wednesday, Bhagwat will first connect at the provincial RSS headquarters. Come evening, he’ll journey to Vadtaldham in Kheda for darshan at Shri Swaminarayan Temple between 4:45 PM and 6:15 PM, performing puja and conversing with revered saints.
Thursday brings a highlight: the grand Dwishatabdi Patotsav at Ahmedabad’s Jetalpurdham Shri Swaminarayan Temple. From 9:30 AM to 11:45 AM, Bhagwat will join in worship and exchange thoughts with the devout community, marking 200 years of Shri Revati Baldevji Harikrishna Maharaj’s legacy.
Departing Ahmedabad at 4 PM Thursday, the tour concludes a chapter of devotion and strategy. Officials note this as a staple in Bhagwat’s calendar, assessing grassroots activities while honoring spiritual traditions.
Gujarat has been a frequent stopover. Just last October 2024, a three-day stint zeroed in on centenary year momentum. January 2024 saw him at Dharmapur’s Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram, fostering dialogues with gurus. Sessions in Ahmedabad and Surat have long bolstered local swayamsevak networks.
Such visits exemplify Bhagwat’s vision: weaving RSS’s ideological fabric with Gujarat’s rich Hindu heritage, ensuring the organization’s relevance in modern India.
