This was followed by Self-introduction of all the State Convenors and status of registrations and other activities in respective states.

         

Dr Swamy in his opening address re-emphasize the agenda and objectives of Virat Hindustan Sangham and clarified that VHS is BJP friendly party and also encouraged those inclined to even offer their candidature in the organizational elections of BJP.

Every activity of VHS shall complement the agenda and activities of BJP and other units of the Sangha Parivar. The objectives and Five dimensions of a Virat Hindustan to usher in a National Renaissance:

• Rediscover the Identity of an Indian,
• Project the correct Indian history,
• Promote Sanskrit as a link language,
• Integral Humanism as an economic philosophy, &
• Ram Rajya as model for good Governance

Dr Swamy further reiterated his oft repeated philosophy, success is all about mindset and not numbers. 1000s or Lakhs with a wrong mindset will never succeed as a few with the right kind of mindset. That is what Virat Hindustan Sangham strives to achieve in youths, especially educated tech savvy youth who have to be provided with a direction for National renaissance & also to counter sense of false history they have been educated with. It is thus very important at this juncture to provide authentic information, and instil a sense of pride on our ancestry and heritage

Dr Swamy further recommended every one to learn one additional script other than their own and the easiest and preferred one would be Devnagari. We also need to propagate and popularize Sanskrit as a language to provide that vital unadulterated link across the diverse nation. It has also been proven by the western world that Sanskrit as a computing language is most suited than any other.

Having set the mood of discussion it was left to the delegates to discuss and arrive at concrete action plans to realize these objectives in the interest of the Nation.

Sri TR Ramesh, Sri Chellappan, Sri Ramesh Sethuraman also shared their thoughts on the potential issues that could be on our agenda and actions thereof. Temple worshippers society, engagement with sympathetic Media Professionals and Making E-Learning materials of our authentic history at affordable costs was on the immediate agenda.
