Mumbai. Baba Ramdev Applauds ‘Shatak’, Says Film Reflects Spirit of RSS’s 100-Year Journey

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.

The recently released teaser has sparked widespread conversations across the country. It suggests that the film seeks to address long-standing confusions, criticisms, and misunderstandings associated with the Sangh by presenting them with facts and historical context. The narrative also sheds light on the RSS’s role during pivotal phases of history, from the freedom struggle to the period of the Emergency.

Expressing his joy on the Sangh’s centenary, Baba Ramdev said, “On the occasion of the RSS completing its centenary, the thinking of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, its contribution, vision, and the struggle it undertook for the unity of Hindu society and the integrity of the nation are extremely inspiring. Carrying forward our ancient Sanatan culture, the Rishi tradition, and the glorious legacy of brave men and women through the ages, the vision of establishing India as a global economic, spiritual, social, and cultural superpower has the Sangh’s historic contribution.”

Sharing his message on the film, he further added, “The centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is not merely a period of time, but a hundred years of penance dedicated to service, values, and devotion to the nation. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the entire team for the film ‘Shatak: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ke 100 Varsh,’ which powerfully presents this spirit. This film will become a medium to take Sanatan culture, the ancient Rishi tradition, and the undivided consciousness of the nation to the masses in a simple and effective manner. The Sangh’s thinking is not limited to an organisation; it is a thought of national consciousness. The film ‘Shatak’ is a tribute to the sacrifices of countless ancestors and the selfless service of lakhs of volunteers. “We may perish, may or may not remain, but may your glory remain immortal, Mother’—may this resolve awaken in society and may this film inspire a renewed journey to make India a world leader.”

A film that aims to rekindle the spirit of nation-building and patriotism, ‘Shatak: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ke 100 Varsh’ is set to release in cinemas across the country on 19 February 2026.
