Such a person embodies the spirit of quiet sacrifice always ready to shoulder responsibilities, never seeking recognition, and consistently inspiring others by example. Ramesh Ji epitomized these qualities. One of his greatest teachings was that service to the nation need not come at the cost of family responsibilities. Within the framework of gṛhastha āśram, he showed us how one can nurture the family with love and responsibility, and at the same time, expand that very spirit of care to society and the nation. By harmonizing personal duties with public service, he demonstrated that the two are not separate but complementary. Dr. Bhagwat also reflected on the extraordinary simplicity and devotion with which Prakash ji lived his life, stressing that such personalities strengthen the moral fibre of society and with no desire for recognition nor expectation of social prestige, Ramesh ji ceaselessly toiled for the nation and the welfare of its people, thereby inspiring all through the quiet nobility of his example.

Mrs. Kali Puri, speaking on behalf of India’s intellectual and media fraternity, applauded the book as a timely reminder of the importance of personal sacrifice in nation-building and also highlights the significance of the idea of Panchparivatan. The book captures the tireless journey of Ramesh Prakash ji, whose life was devoted to selfless service, social welfare, and national upliftment. A dedicated swayamsevak, Prakash ji embodied the ideals of discipline, sacrifice, and patriotism that the RSS has always nurtured. From community development and youth mobilization to cultural preservation and nation-building efforts, his work continues to inspire generations.
