Varanasi, 09 April (HS). The founder of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar was a born patriot and revolutionary. He remained involved in the front line of the freedom movement for a long time. He was an active worker of Congress at that time. He went to jail for the Jungle Satyagraha, Salt Satyagraha and Swadeshi Movement announced by Mahatma Gandhi. At the same time, he distanced himself from the movement by saying that there was no need to carry out Khilafat movement in India.
These things were said by Rajendra Saxena, the road head of the Eastern Uttar Pradesh region of the Sangh. Rajendra Saxena congratulated the volunteers on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada Indian New Year in a program organized on Tuesday in Kamakhya city of Kashi central part of the Union on the occasion of Varsha Pratipada. He said that on this day Lord Brahma had created the universe 1,95,58,85,126 years ago. On this day, the gods together invoked Goddess Shakti. Then Shakti took the form of Durga and destroyed the demons, on the same day of Varsha Pratipada, the coronation of Lord Shri Ram and Yadhishthir took place, on this day the manifesto festival of Saint Jhulelal is celebrated not only in the entire country but in the world. On this day Dayanand Saraswati founded Arya Samaj.
Rajendra Saxena, while discussing Vikram Samvat, said that King Vikrama Ditya expelled the terrorists like Greek, Hun, Shaka, Yavana from the Indian soil and performed Rajsuya Yagya at Prayagraj Sangam and obtained the title of Vikramditya. Since then we celebrate Vikram Samvat Chaitra Shukla Pratipada as New Year.
