Family virtues

A news item titled “Individualistic thinking; root cause of all problems,” says: “RSS Sahsarkaryavah Shri Suresh Soni has described individualistic thinking as the root cause of most of the problems in the world. He said people think only about themselves and not for others. That is why they are trapped in problems. Shri Soni was speaking at the concluding ceremony of the second year Sangh Shiksha Varga in Delhi on June 27. A total of 208 shiksharthis from Delhi (60), Haryana (58), Punjab (43), Himachal Pradesh (25), Jammu & Kashmir (9) and 13 swayamsevaks from other prants, underwent training at the Varga, that began on June 7. The first year Varga concluded the same day at Geeta Bal Bharati School in Shankar Nagar. Uttar Kshetra Sanghachalak Dr Bajranglal Gupt addressed the concluding ceremony of this Varga.”

The news item adds: “Referring to the unique joint family system of Bharat, Shri Soni said if any member in the joint family is trapped in any problem the whole family starts resolving his problem and in this way the problem of one member becomes the problem of the whole family. The world will have to adopt this system any day if it has to get rid of the problems. Soni quoted the speech of US president Barack Obama in which he said if the people of US did not change their life-style the people of Bharat would dominate over them. Dr Bajranglal Gupt said no country could make progress if it does not have power and self-respect. A total of 301 swayamsevaks underwent training at the first year Varga. Swami Vichar Jnanananda, managing trustee of Anandpur Sewa Nyas, presided over the function.”
