RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Describes Bharat as Vishwaguru, Not Mahashakti
Mohan Bhagwat, the head of the RSS, spoke in Toronto about Bharat’s identity.
He described Bharat as a “Vishwaguru,” or a teacher for the world, rather than a “Mahashakti,” or a major power.
He said Bharat’s ancestors travelled across many regions.
They crossed the Himalayas on foot and travelled to Southeast Asia in small boats.
Bhagwat said they did not conquer other countries.
Instead, he said, they shared astronomy, ayurveda and civilisational values.
