Actor Salman Khan was seen attending the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s Mumbai Vyakhyanmala on Saturday, drawing attention as the organisation marked a significant moment in its centenary year.
The two-day lecture series, themed ‘100 Years of Sangh Journey: New Horizons’, is part of the RSS’s effort to reflect on its past, engage with the present and speak about the road ahead.
The event, announced by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on its official Facebook page, is intended to create space for conversation and reflection.
Rather than being limited to organisational members, the Mumbai Vyakhyanmala has been positioned as an open forum where the public can listen, question and engage with senior RSS leaders and invited speakers. It is being held on February 7 and 8, 2026, at the Nehru Centre Auditorium in Mumbai.
Saturday’s sessions marked the opening of the programme. The first address began at 4:00 pm and was delivered by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, followed by a second session later in the evening at 6:15 pm. The presence of Salman Khan at the venue stood out, adding to the visibility of the event and underlining the wide public interest surrounding the Sangh’s centenary celebrations.

Speaking at the gathering, Mohan Bhagwat reflected on how the organisation’s work is increasingly being observed beyond India’s borders.
As quoted by PTI, he said, “The work of the Sangh is unique, and based on our knowledge, we used to say that such work does not exist anywhere else in the world. Now, we are experiencing it directly, as people from India and abroad come to observe the Sangh.”
He went on to describe how visitors from different parts of the world engage with the organisation’s methods. “People from all five continents visit, study its activities, and ask many questions. In the end, everyone asks the same question, whether they are from Africa, Europe, America, Southeast Asia, or the Middle East. They say that this method is relevant for the younger generation, and even in their own country’s history, perhaps after Gautam Buddha, such an all-India effort has not taken place.”

Mohan Bhagwat also addressed the Sangh’s intent and self-perception, stressing that its work is not driven by competition or the pursuit of power. “Once again after a hundred years, we are telling you what the Sangh is, because the work of the Sangh is not for itself but for the entire country, for India…The Sangh was not formed in competition with any other organisation, nor was it created as a reaction to any specific situation, and it has not functioned in opposition to anyone. Our work is carried out without opposing anyone. The Sangh does not seek popularity or power.”
As the lecture series continues on Sunday, the Mumbai Vyakhyanmala remains one of the more visible public-facing events of the RSS’s centenary year.
