The event is aimed at reflecting on the RSS’s journey over the past century, its role in society, and the ideas and perspectives that are expected to shape its future.

RSS Lecture Series Attended By Salman Khan: Schedule and Sessions
On the first day of the Mumbai Vyakhyanmala, February 7, the opening session is scheduled to begin at 4:00 pm and will be addressed by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. A second session on the same day is slated to commence at 6:15 pm.
The lecture series is expected to draw significant public attention as part of the RSS’s centenary year, with a stated focus on dialogue, reflection, and the organisation’s vision for the future.
Addressing the gathering, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat highlighted what he described as the uniqueness of the Sangh’s work and its growing global attention.
Sanskriti (culture) connects all of us. There are many languages, many devi-devatas that we worship, food habits, practices & rituals differ from place to place. But there is one identity that unites us all — we call it Hindu. – Mohan ji Bhagwat at Mumbai #RSS100 #RSS100Years

“The work of the Sangh is unique, and based on our knowledge, we used to say that such work does not exist anywhere else in the world. Now, we are experiencing it directly, as people from India and abroad come to observe the Sangh,” Bhagwat said, according to PTI.
He noted that visitors from across the world were closely studying the RSS’s activities.
“People from all five continents visit, study its activities, and ask many questions. In the end, everyone asks the same question, whether they are from Africa, Europe, America, Southeast Asia, or the Middle East. They say that this method is relevant for the younger generation, and even in their own country’s history, perhaps after Gautam Buddha, such an all-India effort has not taken place.”
Emphasising the Sangh’s stated philosophy, Bhagwat said the organisation’s work was not meant for itself but for the nation as a whole.
“Once again after a hundred years, we are telling you what the Sangh is, because the work of the Sangh is not for itself but for the entire country, for India… The Sangh was not formed in competition with any other organisation, nor was it created as a reaction to any specific situation, and it has not functioned in opposition to anyone. Our work is carried out without opposing anyone. The Sangh does not seek popularity or power,” he said.
