Introduction
As members of the august organization the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh we are ever in the process of learning more and more about this body. The sangh is no longer only a Rashtriya phenomenon. It has grown into a gigantic world organization spreading its branches in all the continents. A key to the understanding of this sky scraping banyan tree is to delve deeply into the myriad incidents of the hallowed life and the various aspects of the luminous personality of Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar. After doing that we shall be able to clearly grasp the vision the revered Doctorji entertained of the future of the Sangh. Without clearly grasping these we shall never be able to understand the soul of the Sangh.
The diversified shape of the Sangh is actually the blossoming and flowering of the great Doctor's vision. All the various branches in the form of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and the Bharatiya Janata Party are but the progressive informant of that vision. In its rudimentary form Dr. Hedgewar had conceived of specialized bodies for specialized functions like Seva Bharati. Today's multifarious growth of the Sangh in its several avatars is the vindication of the truth that Doctorji was a great seer.
