The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), as part of its nationwide plans, will organise a mass outreach programme in Tamil Nadu from January 1 to 15, ahead of the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, K. Kumarasamy, RSS president of the north Tamil Nadu region, said here on Wednesday.
The consecration is a happy and proud moment for everyone in the country, and to celebrate it, the RSS will distribute an invitation to visit the temple, a picture of Lord Ram, and a holy offering from the temple to all households through a door-to-door campaign. On January 22, the day of the consecration, it will organise bhajans across temples and at other places.
The RSS, which is approaching its centenary year, has grown significantly in Tamil Nadu in the last 10 to 15 years with ‘shakhas’ now being organised daily at around 2,400 places, besides more weekly and monthly meetings, he added. Addressing the media on the strategic outcomes of the meeting of its national executive in Gujarat this week, particularly for Tamil Nadu, he said the organisation would be focussing on social justice, harmony among castes, preservation of family values, environmental protection and responsible citizenry to bring about a change in society.
The focus will also be on ensuring social justice and creating harmony by discarding differences based on caste, language and region.
