Sar Sangh Chalak

M S Golwalkar

Guruji Golwalkar

Born in 1906 (Magh Bahul Ekadashi, Vishswavasu Samvat - 19th February 1906) at Ramtek near Nagpur, Maharashta, Sri Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, otherwise endearingly addressed as 'Guruji' by one and all, was the only surviving son among the nine children of his parents, to whom he was their beloved 'Madhu'. It seems, the destiny spared him, for it was he, who in later years as the second sar-sanghachalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was to be the cynosure of the nation.

K B Hedgewar History

THE FOUNDER

Keshav Baliram Hedgewar was born on Varsha Pratipada, the Hindu New Year Day, 1st April 1889, at Nagpur. Even as a child he started questioning how a handful of foreigners could for so long rule over a vast and ancient nation like Bharat.

No wonder that he threw away the sweets distributed on the occasion of the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria's coronation. He was eight years old at the time. When studying in high school he started participating in nationalist activities, and, in fact, unfurled the banner of independence during Dusserah at Rampayali in 1907.

The intensity of his urge to free the Motherland grew steadily. In 1908, he was expelled from school for leading the students in raising the 'seditious' cry of 'Vande Mataram'. He had to move to Pune to complete his matriculation. Hedgewar opted for a medical course in Calcutta, chiefly prompted by the prospect of getting first-hand acquaintance with the underground movement.
