Bhagwat Frames Dharma as Universal Driver, Ties It to India’s ‘Vishwaguru’ Claim

The RSS leader cast dharma as a universal law distinct from state secularism.

Overview

  • At the Vihar Sevak Urja Milan event in Mumbai on January 18, Mohan Bhagwat said dharma drives existence and ensures balance and direction.
  • He argued that a “vehicle” driven by dharma avoids “accidents,” calling it the single force guiding everyone, including “Narendra bhai.”
  • He said a state may be secular but no living or non-living entity can be without dharma, which he described as the rules set at creation.
  • To illustrate the idea, he cited examples such as water’s duty to flow, fire’s to burn, and the duties of a son and a ruler.
  • He linked adherence to dharma with India remaining a “Vishwaguru,” describing the concept as a spiritual legacy of India’s ancestors that he says is rare elsewhere.
