Nagpur: Firecrackers in earlier times were not made from chemicals, and their smoke killed insects and purified the atmosphere, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said, adding that there is a scientific reason behind it. “Festivals keep the society ‘alive’ and will never stop despite some people trying to do so,” he said.
Bhagwat pointed out that a “special kind” of air prevailed in the environment as ghee lamps and oil lamps were lit. This will keep the atmosphere pure, and also bring joy to our life,” he said. Stressing that festivals are part of the fabric of Indian society, he said, “Festivals have been held since eternal times and they will continue.”
“Such practices should be followed with an understanding of the science behind them. The RSS chief was speaking at a Diwali event of Maheshwari Panchayat in Nagpur on Tuesday.
On how festivals should be celebrated, Bhagwat said, “They should continue in their pure form, so that we keep getting the benefits they are meant to give. Because of this, a person, society and humanity across the world remain safe along with the environment. Because doing charity at festivals is also our tradition,” he said, the world is realising that Indians should be wished on Diwali, knowing this is a day when every Indian is joyful, clean, pure and ready to serve,.
