He gave us his time. Many people from the industry came here. I was touched by his words. I would also like to say that his sense of humour is amazing. His thoughts are amazing. His sense of humour entertained us. We laughed a lot and applauded him. We are very thankful for this event. We want to have such an event every year”.

Pritam said, “Today, I felt very good after listening to the lecture and I didn't know much. Today, I came to know a lot of things. I would like to congratulate Mohanji that such a good thing is happening around us”.

Madhur Bhandarkar said, “I am very happy that I came here. It was a two-day lecture. Mohanji spoke about many things which I really liked. He spoke about patriotism, culture and heritage. He also spoke about the perception of RSS. Mohanji has clearly explained how we want to build a one nation state. I really liked it. There were many dignitaries from the film fraternity.

The RSS is a Hindu nationalist volunteer organization founded in 1925 by K. B. Hedgewar in Nagpur. It describes itself as a cultural organization focused on character-building, discipline, and national unity. The RSS operates through daily local branches called shakhas, where volunteers engage in physical training, drills, and ideological discussions. It promotes the concept of Hindutva, emphasizing India’s cultural heritage. The RSS is ideologically linked to several affiliated bodies collectively known as the Sangh Parivar, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). It has played a significant role in India’s social and political landscape.
