“They are orchestrating methodical attacks, be it physical or invisible (sukshm), but there is no need to get scared as a similar situation prevailed during Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s times when there was no hope for India’s rise,” he said.But there is one factor called ‘jivani shakti’ (power that infuses life) which defines India, Bhagwat emphasised.”Jivani shakti is the basis of our nation and that is founded on dharma which will be there forever,” he said.Dharma was there at the beginning of the ‘srishti’ (nature or universe) and it (dharma) will be needed till the end, he said.Bhagwat stressed India is a very fortunate and blessed country.”Due to the blessings and inspirations of great personalities and saints, the country became immortal. Because of this, our country, despite straying a little bit here and there, would ultimately come on tracks. This is the divine boon we have received and it was received for a specific purpose as God has entrusted us with responsibilities of the world,” he remarked.”Other countries came into existence for struggle, for survival, but India’s creation was to demonstrate the idea of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, Bhagwat opined.He also said dharma is at the core of unity.”This thread of unity is derived from dharma. When I say dharma that does not mean puja (rituals), dharma does not mean eat this, do not eat that, do not touch (something). Dharma means truth, compassion, tapascharya. Why to feel ashamed of these things?” Bhagwat asked.
