Praising the ideals of Hinduism at the release of a book ‘Making of Hindu patriot’, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said that his “religion is the religion of all religions,” reported ANI.

“My religion is the religion of all religions, that is, the religion that carries all religions together is my religion,” Bhagwat said while addressing the gathering of many scholars, academicians and social thinkers.

“Gandhiji said that my patriotism originates from my religion. I will understand my religion and become a good patriot and inspire others to do the same,” he said quoting Mahatma Gandhi.

Authored by Dr Jitendra Kumar Bajaj and Professor MD Srinivas, ‘Making of Hindu patriot’ has been published by Centre for Policy Studies in association with Har Anand Publishers. Bhagwat released the book containing 1,043 pages on the occasion.

The RSS chief added that Gandhiji has written a lot, but he became an example of what he wrote and practised it. In fact, the ideal people are such that instead of preaching to others, they set an example for them.

“To understand what Swaraj is, we have to understand Swadharma. Till we do not understand Swadharma, we cannot understand Gandhiji’s Swaraj,” he said.

Regarding the book ‘Making of the Hindu Patriot’ he said it was a certified, researched book. If Gandhiji is to be understood, it is necessary to read this book.

The book gives a detailed insight into Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings. Bajaj said that by studying Gandhiji, he found that he had seen religion in everything he did.
