"Witnessed true moment of Amrit Varsha in Amrit Kaal": RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Chandrayaan-3's success

New Delhi: As India became the first country to send a spacecraft near the South pole of the moon, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday said that in this Amrit Kaal, the nation has witnessed a true moment of Amrit Varsha.

"In this Amrit Kaal, we have witnessed a true moment of Amrit Varsha. Now we should work toward our duty..." the RSS chief told ANI. 

He was also glued to the television screen and watched the live telecast of the soft landing of the Chandrayaan-3's lander module Vikram. 

After the lander Vikram of the country's third lunar mission made a safe and soft landing, the chief of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) S Somanath said, "India is on the Moon".
Officials at India's space agency ISRO headquarters in Bengaluru broke into applause after the Vikram began its powered vertical descent towards its landing site.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is attending the 15th BRICS Summit in Johannesburg watched the live telecast and as soon as the touchdown happened he sported a big smile and waved the tricolour.
The countdown of the Vikram hovered at 150 metres, then 130 metres, and 50 metres and decelerated as it approached the moon's surface before finally touching down on the lunar surface.

As the Vikram lander carrying the Pragyaan rover in its belly touched down on the lunar surface, it marked a giant leap in India’s spacefaring journey providing a well-deserved finale to ISRO’s long years of toil.
This makes India the fourth country – after the US, China, and Russia – to have successfully landed on the moon’s surface, it has earned a place in record books as the first to touchdown on the south side of Earth’s only natural satellite.
