He also addressed his previous statements and said that his stance on reservation had “created a lot of noise and the whole discussion diverted from the actual issue”.

Mohan Bhagwat was explaining how Sikandar Lodi had fraudulently called Saint Ravidas and asked him to convert to Islam. | OpIndia News.

The truth is the same, but that doesn’t mean that one has to change his belief. The saint told Sikandar Lodi and said that he will not give up his Dharma. Therefore, whatever His name, the merit being addressed is the same and the respect is also the same. Sikandar Lodi’s plan was to crush him under the elephant’s foot and kill him. According to Mohan Bhagwat, Sant Ravidas told Sikandar Lodi that the religion of the Vedas is the best, even better than Islam. They panicked and surrendered to the Saint. Mohan Bhagwat added, “Saint Ravidas also told Lodi that whether it be Hindus or Muslims truth is one and all are children of God. It is clear enough that Mohan Bhagwat was talking about uniting Hindus here and giving a message to see and respect everyone equally. He asked what is the path of eternal happiness? Saint Ravidas was wondering if the path really was like that. Later ANI itself admitted its mistake and said that the tweet was deleted due to an error in translation.

A speech in Marathi by RSS chief, Mohan Bhagwat was misinterpreted by saying that he had said something about Brahmins.

"Saint Ravidas also told Lodi that whether it is Hindus or Muslims, the truth is one and all are children of God. "Saint Ravidas told Lodi that he will never give up his Dharma. The truth is the same, but that does not mean that one has to change his belief. He is also considered as the patron saint of the Dalit community and his teachings continue to influence the lives of millions of people in India. His poems and devotional songs are widely popular and are an integral part of the Bhakti tradition. Hence, whatever His name, the merit being addressed is the same and the respect is also the same. Saint Ravidas wondered, if the path really was this way. But, the classification that the Pandits created - was wrong." Saint Ravidas told him about his Dharma. God has always said that for me everyone is equal, there is no difference based on their caste or creed. He used the word 'Pandit' which means scholar in Marathi. However Bhagwat did not use the word Brahmin at all.
