Sri Guruji always had intimate personal correspondence with Swayamsevaks from all over the country. And to every letter that he received, he used to reply directly in his own handwriting. Those were the days when computers and cell phones had not invaded the Karyalayas. Even the mechanical typewriters were not much in use. Right form the ordinary Sangh Kayrakartas to the Sarsangchalak, all those engaged in building up the Sangh work used to maintain an intimate personal relationship with each and every Swayamsevak family. When this writer was entering into the Grihastha Ashram, he informed Sri Guruji about his marriage, and Sri Guruji sent the following very inspiring letter with his heartfelt blessing:
RASHTRIYA SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH, KENDRA-NAGPUR

With the blessings of Sri Guruji, this writer and his wife offered themselves in full time service of Vivekananda Kendra, one of the Parivar organizations. When a son was born to them and was to be named after Vivekananda, Sri Guruji wrote the following touching letter:
RASHTRIYA SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH, KENDRA-NAGPUR
Sarsanghchalak: M.S. Golwalkar Sarkaryavah: M.D. Deoras
My dear Shri V. Rangarajan,

Thousands of Swayamsevaks throughout the length and breadth of the country had the blessing and grace of this great Patriarch of the Sangh family and when they look back into the experiences with this Mahatma, their hearts do sway with pride and joy with the feeling that they have all been lucky to live in his time and under his love and care. The greatest homage that could be paid to this saintly leader on the occasion of his centenary is to see that the family that he built up with meticulous care and unstinted devotion and dedication is expanded to such an extent that it will embrace the whole Hindu Nation and the Hindu brethren all over the world.
