Digital Desk: Mohan Bhagwat, the head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stated that only India offered assistance to struggling nations like Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Speaking in Nagpur, Bhagwat asserted that "spirituality is the soul of India" and added that, although other nations redirected their focus to the Maldives and Sri Lanka when they recognized financial potential there, Bhagwat added that India needed to teach the rest of the world how to live a life based on spirituality.
"Spirituality is the soul of India. What does India need to do? It is to tell everyone how to live life on the basis of this spirituality through our own example... Living life without ego is the soul of India...," Bhagwat said.
"But now when Sri Lanka is in trouble, who is extending help? It is only India. Who sent water to the Maldives when it was facing a water crisis? It was India which did. This is spiritual India," added. Bhagwat said that even the non-vegetarians in India follow certain restraints during the holy month of 'Shravan'.
"If you eat the wrong (kind of) food, it will lead you on the wrong path. One should not eat `tamasik' food. One should not eat food that involves too much violence... People who eat non-vegetarian food here do not eat it during the entire month of Shravan. They do not eat it on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays. They impose some rules on themselves," Bhagwat said.
