RSS Mohan Bhagwat visits sacred Mount Lum Sohpetbneng in Meghalaya

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat joined the Seng Khasi for a prayer at the sanctum sanctorum of the sacred peak, U Lum Sohpetbneng (Navel of the Universe), for the well-being, growth and prosperity of ‘Ka Mei Ri India’ (Bharat Mata) and all her citizens.

The prayer was offered by the head priest of Seng Khasi, Shri Skor Jala, and culminated in rituals unique to the indigenous faith, Niam Khasi, which Sarsanghchalak Bhagwat, President of Seng Khasi Kmie and the Dolloi of Jowai took part in.

Seng Khasi is a socio-cultural and religious organisation formed on 23rd November 1899 by sixteen young khasi men to protect, preserve and promote the indigenous way of life and religion of the Khasis. It was 123 years later that the Seng Khasi has grown to more than 300 branches across the Khasi Hills and continues to endeavour in its cause in bringing pride to the people by strengthening their roots and identity.


Bhagwat expressed his profound gratitude at having experienced today’s 'darshan' and said he would carry forward the sacred message in the whole country of U Lum Sohpetbneng, that the golden bridge that connects Man and God now lives within a golden heart.
