"Hindu Spiritual Gurus In South Do More Work Than Missionaries": Mohan Bhagwat

"This cannot be the measure of service. Service is service, service is not a matter of competition. Service is the natural expression of man's humanity," RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said social service by Hindu spiritual gurus in the southern states was several times more than that provided by missionaries, but added that this is not a matter of competition.
He was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of a three-day conclave of the Rashtriya Sewa Sangam organised by a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh affiliate at Keshav Vidhyapeeth in Jamdoli near Jaipur.
Bhagwat said intellectuals in the country generally mention (Christian) missionaries when talking about service to society.
"Missionary organisations run various institutions, schools and hospitals all over the world - everyone knows this. But what is the Hindu seer community doing?" With this thought in mind, a Hindu service fair was held in Chennai, he said.
