Shradheya Dattopant Thengadi was a multi-faceted personality. A pracharak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, he was mentored by the 2nd Sarsanghchalak of the RSS, Sri Guruji Golwalkar.

He sowed the seeds of multiple organisations in various dimensions of national life and saw them grow into mighty trees in his own lifetime.

Dr. Manmohan Vaidya puts it ,

” No matter how accomplished one is, an able organizer is open to his co-worker’s thoughts and suggestions and promptly accepts the appropriate ones in the interest of the organisation. Thengadi ji was such a gifted organiser. Working in an organization entails the journey from ‘me’ to ‘we’. This transition is not easy for any extraordinarily adept person. Usually, such a person is a shadow of his ego. This ego crops up from time to time. Sages, the realised souls have illustrated the irony of the ego when they said, “it is that evil which spares the ignorant and throttles the knowledgeable.” However, safeguarding oneself from such self-criticism is necessary for those who work within, for or with an organization. Thengadi ji had mastered this art. Even in a casual dialogue, while expressing an opinion, offering an insight or a solution he used ‘we’ and not an ‘I’. Elevating one’s sense of self so thin so as to integrate all the people that one is associated with is requisite for an organizer and Thengadi ji was a prolific organizer in this sense. ”

The essence of his learnings as an organiser took the form of some books on organisation like ” Karyakarta ” and Sanket Rekha ;
