Anyone who has visited the Delhi RSS office - Keshav Kunj, from the late 80s to 2014 must have faced Bholanath ji. While he was kind-hearted and caring person for the Swayamsevaks, he was very stern and strict for any unknown person who entered the RSS office. He always kept a close eye on the things happening in and around the Karyalaya. Like a coconut, the tough-sounding Bholanath Ji had a soft core—he has been very caring and soft to the visitors.
Born in 1922 in Layyah of Western Punjab (now in Pakistan), Bholanath ji joined RSS in 1939. Bholanath ji is one of the pioneers who laid the foundation for RSS work in the national capital. After retiring from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) in 1982, Bholanath ji became a Vanprasthi Karyakarta of RSS and started living in Keshavkunj as a full-timer. He then pledged not to return home and decided to serve society till his last breath. He served as the VibhagKaryavah (General Secretary) in the late 1980s.
