Haridwar: On the eighth day of the ‘Sanyas Diksha’ ceremony at Patanjali, Chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Mohan Bhagwat spoke about the importance of Sanatan Dharma as well saffron color in one’s life. The RSS top boss said saffron is synonymous with the monkhood and Sanatan Dharma.
Bhagwat while addressing the participants readying themselves for monastic life, said, “Today you are taking a pledge to uplift the Sanatan Dharma by donning the saffron robe. Everything changes with the passage of time. But our Sanatan tradition or way of life is eternal. It never changes.”
Speaking on the occasion, Baba Ramdev said the budding monks who have taken vows to join the monastic order will be further groomed. “We are working on the project to realise the dream of Maharishi Dayanand. We will set up a series of learning centres for these budding monks,” he said.
Ramdev further said that after 75 years of Independence, Patanjali has been working towards fulfilling the dreams of Maharishi Dayanand, Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi and all the other revolutionaries. “These revolutionaries always advocated for an indigenous education system,” he said.
