Baba Ramdev Backs ‘Shatak: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ke 100 Varsh’, Calls It a Tribute to a Century of Service
Yoga guru and Patanjali founder Baba Ramdev has long championed the ideas of nationhood, cultural pride, and a self-reliant India. A line he often repeats — “We may perish, may or may not remain, but may your glory remain immortal, Mother” — resonates powerfully with the spirit of the RSS centenary year and the film ‘Shatak: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ke 100 Varsh’ created to mark this historic milestone.
Made to commemorate 100 years of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Shatak: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ke 100 Varsh traces the organisation’s century-long ideological journey, social contributions, and enduring dedication to the nation. The themes of national consciousness, cultural identity, and selfless service that Baba Ramdev frequently speaks about find a cinematic expression through this film.

RSS has worked to uphold India's ancient Sanatana culture: Ramdev
Expressing his joy on the Sangh’s centenary, Baba Ramdev said: “On the occasion of the RSS completing 100 years, its ideology, contributions, vision, and its long struggle for the unity of Hindu society and the integrity of the nation are truly inspiring. The RSS has worked to uphold India's ancient Sanatana culture, the tradition of the Rishis, and the rich legacy of the brave men and women of our history. Its vision of making India a strong global power—economically, spiritually, socially, and culturally—reflects the Sangh's significant and historic role in nation-building."

The ideology of the Sangh is far more than just an organization; it reflects a profound sense of national consciousness. Shatak is a tribute to the sacrifices of our ancestors and the selfless service of millions of volunteers. May this film inspire a spirit of dedication in society and motivate renewed efforts to make India a global leader..”
