The Hindu Manifesto, a new book by IIT alumnus and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Joint General Secretary Swami Vigyananand, will be released by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat on April 26 in Delhi.
Swami Vigyananand is also the founder of the World Hindu Congress and Global Chairman of the World Hindu Foundation. He holds a BTech from IIT Kharagpur, an Acharya in Sanskrit grammar and Vedangas, and a Vidyavaridhi (PhD) in Eastern philosophy.
The book outlines a civilisational framework based on eight guiding principles or Sutras: prosperity for all, national security, quality education, responsible democracy, respect for women, social harmony, the sacredness of nature, and respect for heritage.
Drawing on texts such as the Vedas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Arthashastra, and Shukranitisar, ‘The Hindu Manifesto’ presents a Dharma-centred approach to governance, social structure, education, and environmental responsibility. It discusses Ram Rajya as a model of just governance and addresses issues related to varna and jati, advocating for dignity, equality, and non-discrimination.
‘The Hindu Manifesto’ is published by BluOne Ink. The official release event is expected to focus on themes related to governance, civilisational values, and development in Bharat.
The book is expected to serve as a guiding text for those looking to decode modern rightist and nationalist thought.
The book showcases how Hindu civilization has historically nurtured prosperity, ethical leadership, intellectual and spiritual excellence, and military resilience while safeguarding justice and public welfare. The manifesto advocates for a “knowledge-based society” led by “quality education” and envisions a responsible democracy modelled on Ram Rajya, where governance is just, inclusive, and rooted in dharma.
Aligning the ancient with the modern the book calls for environmental conservation, honouring nature as sacred and embracing sustainable, harmonious living.
‘The Hindu Manifesto’ is billed as a “call to action” and a “blueprint for civilizational renewal.”
