At the book launch event of 'Swarswamini Asha', Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat extolled the Mangeshkar family for instilling devotion and patriotism through their music. According to Bhagwat, the purpose of music exceeds mere entertainment and should yield societal benefits.

Bhagwat revealed his long-standing respect for the Mangeshkar family's contributions to the music world.
