RSS gave me purpose of my life, blessed to have learnt life values from it: PM
India TodayPrime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that he felt blessed to have learnt life's values from a "sacred" organisation like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, praising it for working since 1925 to inspire people to dedicate themselves to the country. In a podcast with Lex Fridman released on Sunday, PM Modi said the RSS gave him the purpose of his life, noting that its different affiliates were involved in numerous fields and with every section of society. A former RSS 'pracharak' himself before moving over to the BJP, PM Modi said he was drawn to the Hindutva organisation at a young age as he was touched deeply by patriotic songs sung at its 'shakha' near his home in Gujarat. "Another RSS affiliate Vidya Bharti runs nearly 25,000 schools and crores of students have received education at an affordable cost," he said.
