Golwalkar described the mission of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh as the revitalisation of the Indian value system based on universalism and peace and prosperity to all.{{sfn|Golwalkar; Bunch of Thoughts|1966}} [[Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam]], the worldview that the whole world is one family, propounded by the ancient thinkers of India, is considered one of the ideologies of the organisation.<ref name="sheshadri">{{Cite book |last=Seshadri |first=H.V. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ulsqAAAAYAAJ |title=Hindu Renaissance Under Way |publisher=Jagran Publications |year=1984 |access-date=3 July 2024 |via=Google Books}}</ref>

But the immediate focus, the leaders believe, is on the Hindu renaissance, which would build an egalitarian society and a strong India that could propound this philosophy. Hence, the focus is on social reform, economic upliftment of the downtrodden, and the protection of the cultural diversity of the natives in India.<ref name="sheshadri" /> The organisation says it aspires to unite all Hindus and build a strong India that can contribute to the welfare of the world. In the words of RSS ideologue and the second head of the RSS, Golwalkar, "in order to be able to contribute our unique knowledge to mankind, in order to be able to live and strive for the unity and welfare of the world, we stand before the world as a self-confident, resurgent and mighty nation".{{sfn|Golwalkar; Bunch of Thoughts|1966}}

In ''Vichardhara'' (ideology), Golwalkar affirms the RSS mission of integration as:{{sfn|Golwalkar; Bunch of Thoughts|1966}}
{{Blockquote|RSS has been making determined efforts to inculcate in our people the burning devotion for Bharat and its national ethos; kindle in them the spirit of dedication and sterling qualities and character; rouse social consciousness, mutual good-will, love and cooperation among them all; to make them realise that casts, creeds, and languages are secondary and that service to the nation is the supreme end and to mold their behaviour accordingly; instill in them a sense of true humility and discipline and train their bodies to be strong and robust so as to shoulder any social responsibility; and thus to create all-round Anushasana (Discipline) in all walks of life and build together all our people into a unified harmonious national whole, extending from Himalayas to Kanyakumari.|[[M. S. Golwalkar]]}} Golwalkar and Balasaheb Deoras, the second and third supreme leaders of the RSS, spoke against the caste system, though they did not support its abolition.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Banerjee |first1=Partha |title=RSS – THE SANGH: What is it, and what is it not? |url=http://www.sacw.net/DC/CommunalismCollection/ArticlesArchive/OnRSS.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170523042612/http://www.sacw.net/DC/CommunalismCollection/ArticlesArchive/OnRSS.html |archive-date=23 May 2017 |access-date=7 May 2017 |website=SACW}}</ref>
