RSS Centenary: Teliamura Resonates with Hindutva Unity on Vijaya Dashami Event
Teliamura, Oct 5: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Teliamura Nagar unit organized a vibrant celebration of Vijaya Dashami today, marking the organization’s centenary year with renewed calls for unity, patriotism, and moral discipline. The event, held at Chitrangada Kala Kendra (Town Hall), radiated an atmosphere of devotion, social harmony, and cultural pride, carrying forward the century-old ideals of the Sangh.
The day’s programme commenced with the ceremonial flag salutation, prayer, recitation of aphorisms, and a soulful solo song, setting a reverent tone for the proceedings. Distinguished citizens, RSS volunteers, and cultural figures from across the town attended the event, which aimed to reaffirm the values of Hindutva and social solidarity in contemporary society.
Khowai District Sangh Chalak Bishwajit Debrangkhal presided over the programme as chief guest, while Khowai District Sangh Vistarak Abhijit Dey delivered the keynote address.
In his speech, Dey traced the RSS’s hundred-year journey—rooted in self-sacrifice, character building, and national service—and underscored its mission to foster unity and self-reliance among Indians.
Contrasting Western faith systems with India’s timeless Sanatan Hindu tradition, Dey remarked that while Western societies often overlook the reverence due to women, Indian Vedic culture has always upheld women as embodiments of motherhood and divinity. “It is this spiritual reverence,” he said, “that keeps Sanatan Dharma alive and thriving across the world even today.”
Dey also elaborated on the Sangh’s five-fold vision for transformation, encompassing Family Awakening, Environmental Consciousness, Social Harmony, Swadeshi Lifestyle, and Civic Etiquette, urging every citizen to integrate these principles into daily life.
Adding to the spiritual dimension of the occasion, Ramananda Goswami, Sevait (head priest) of Sri Sri Krishna Chaitanya Ashram, Teliamura, addressed the gathering. He emphasized that nurturing spiritual awareness and moral values was essential for building a compassionate and disciplined society.
In a statement, the RSS described the centenary Vijaya Dashami as “not merely a commemoration, but a reaffirmation of moral discipline, national unity, and selfless service.” The message further stated that the Sangh’s hundred-year journey stands as a symbol of India’s enduring cultural renaissance—upholding the ideals of service, discipline, and devotion that continue to inspire generations. Participants at the event took a renewed vow to live by these timeless values.
Local cultural circles observed that the Teliamura celebration transcended the boundaries of a traditional religious event, emerging as a symbol of new social awakening—a call to the younger generation to preserve and propagate the ideals of the Sangh with renewed enthusiasm.
Notably, while the RSS celebrated Vijaya Dashami nationwide on October 2, the observance in Tripura and West Bengal was held on October 5 to coincide with the festive spirit of Durga Puja—an occasion deeply cherished by the Bengali and Janajati communities.
The Teliamura event was also attended by Chief Whip of the Tripura Legislative Assembly, Kalyani Saha Roy, alongside several eminent citizens from various walks of life.
Earlier, the Tripura Kshatriya Samaj commemorated the RSS centenary with a grand Vijaya Dashami procession in Teliamura on October 3 under the banner of the Sanatani religious awakening movement. Representatives from 18 Janajati groups, clad in traditional attire, marched through the streets carrying banners featuring Bharat Mata and Sanatani flags.
The procession began from Teliamura Town Hall and was ceremonially flagged off by Khowai District Sangh Parichalak Bishwajit Debrangkhal, while members of the Rashtra Sevika Samiti offered floral tributes and extended greetings along the route.
The celebration in Teliamura thus stood as a resounding tribute to a hundred years of the RSS’s service, discipline, and spiritual nationalism—reaffirming its enduring commitment to the nation’s unity and cultural ethos cutting across the ethnicity, opined a a group of Janajati women.
