RSS appeal: Message to those retiring from service
Mahipal made an important appeal to those retiring from service in his address.
You should give some part of your life to society and family. In earlier times, when a person went to Vanaprastha Ashram, he got freedom from his responsibilities and used to spend this time in penance, sadhana and social service. But nowadays people are living in families and leading a life of idleness, without any big purpose. We should once again adopt the path of Vanaprastha Ashram, where a person understands the essence of his life, becomes self-reliant and does service work for society. In this changing society, we have to discharge our responsibilities in the right way. This is the need of the society and also our responsibility
Mahipal
Mahipal also said that personal progress is equally important for the progress of society, and this is true service.
Prasad distribution
After the Pad Sanchalan, Prasad was distributed to all the citizens and volunteers participating in the program. This was an important social work, in which the volunteers of the Sangh collectively provided prasad to everyone and gave the message of the spirit of cooperation.
