Deendayal Upadhyaya’s ‘integral humanism’ globally relevant even after 6 decades: RSS chief

Jaipur, Nov 16: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said that Deendayal Upadhyaya articulated the timeless ideas of Sanatan in the modern context by presenting them as ‘Integral Humanism’ or ‘Ekatma Manavvad’, a philosophy that remains as relevant to the world today as it was 60 years ago. Delivering the Deendayal Memorial Lecture organised by the Ekatma Manav Darshan Research and Development Foundation here, Bhagwat said the essence of Integral Humanism can be captured in a single word – ‘dharma’ – but clarified that the term does not refer to religion, sect or creed.

“Dharma upholds everything – the path that ensures collective well-being. The world today needs to walk on the path of dharma as defined in Integral Humanism,” he said.
