RSS' work cannot be understood from outside: Mohan Bhagwat

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said it was impossible for the outsiders to "understand" the organisation's work.

Speaking at a function to mark the 100th birth anniversary of the late Tryambak Patrikar, popularly known as 'Patrikar master', in Nagpur, Bhagwat said, "Work of RSS is a continuous process and no one can understand it from outside. For understanding its functioning, listening to lectures or reading resolutions is not enough."

"Continuous efforts with selfless service and character building are our characteristics," he said.

Rather than only celebrating the birth or death anniversaries of great personalities, one must follow in their footsteps, Bhagwat added. Recalling his association with Patrikar, a veteran Sangh leader, Bhagwat said it was Patrikar who introduced him to the RSS.
