The RSS prayer is the collective resolve of the RSS. Since 1939, Swayamsevaks have been reciting this prayer daily at the shakha. Through this practice over the years, this prayer has acquired the power of a mantra, and this is not just something to be spoken about but something to be experienced directly, stated Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Sarsanghachalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat. He was speaking during the launch of an innovative audio-visual presentation of the RSS prayer, set to a modern musical arrangement and presenting its meaning in various Indian languages, which was done by Dr Mohan Bhagwat.

Dr Mohan Bhagwat said, "This prayer expresses the goal to be achieved collectively by the entire Hindu society. It is a prayer to Mother India. The first salutation is to Mother India and then to God. Nothing is asked from Mother India in this prayer; rather, it expresses what we should offer to her. What we ask for is from God.
