Majuli: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday visited the Auniati Satra or monastery located on the Majuli river island in Assam, which follows the Brahmo Sanghati of Eksar Dharma.

“Our country is one. There are different communities here. But what we call ‘religion’ is the same for everyone. This is humanity, this is ‘Sanatan Dharma’. It is necessary that our society comes together and solves its problems unitedly.” ..” RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said.
The RSS chief said, “The ‘culture’ of India is reflected through ‘Ekam Sat Vipra Bahuda Vadanti’ (Truth is one but it is manifested in different ways by the intellectuals). This all-inclusive tradition exists only in India.”
The RSS chief reached Dibrugarh in Assam on Wednesday for a two-day visit to Majuli, the world’s largest river island famous for its neo-Vaishnav culture and satras.
