Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat is set to release ‘The Hindu Manifesto’, a new book authored by Swami Vigyananand, on April 26, 2025, at the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya in New Delhi.
The launch of this seminal work marks a pivotal moment in the intellectual and civilizational discourse of Bharat, offering a holistic vision that integrates ancient Hindu wisdom with modern governance frameworks.
A Blueprint Rooted in Dharma
The Hindu Manifesto is positioned as a transformative civilizational guide, rooted in the time-honoured principles of Dharma, drawn from sacred texts such as:
- The Vedas
- Ramayana
- Mahabharata
- Arthashastra
- Shukranitisar
Swami Vigyananand presents a framework for governance, justice, and sustainable prosperity, using eight Sutras that serve as pillars for a thriving and just society.
The Eight Sutras of Civilizational Renaissance
The book revolves around eight core principles that aim to realign Bharat’s path with its civilizational ethos:
- Prosperity for All
- National Security
- Quality Education
- Responsible Democracy
- Respect for Women
- Social Harmony
- Sacredness of Nature
- Respect for One’s Heritage
Together, these form a Dharma-centred model advocating for equitable development, inspired by ideals like Ram Rajya—governance rooted in public welfare and justice.
Challenging Colonial Narratives, Redefining Structures
Swami Vigyananand addresses long-standing misconceptions about Hindu social frameworks, especially Varna and Jati, aiming to foster a non-discriminatory and cohesive society. The book advocates decolonisation of the Indian mind and institutions.
He argues that a nation’s longevity depends on two vital frameworks:
- A solid foundational structure for governance and progress.
- A civilizational structure to nurture identity, values, and sustainability.
