Washington: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is scheduled to address members of the Indian-American community during his US visit later this month as part of the organisation's global outreach during its centenary year.
Bhagwat will address an event titled 'Universal Oneness Celebrations' on August 29, organised by American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue (AHEAD).
"The event will feature Mohan Bhagwat, Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) India, whose address is expected to draw significant national and international interest," Aditi Banerjee of The AHEAD Forum said in a statement.

More than 5,000 Indian-Americans are expected to attend the event at Madison Square Garden, which will also feature cultural programmes and performances.
Bhagwat is also scheduled to address at least two private events in New York before heading to Canada.
The AHEAD Forum is making transportation arrangements for attendees from across the northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states.
Bhagwat last visited the US in 2018 to attend the World Hindu Congress in Chicago.
In April this year, RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale visited the US, the UK and Germany as part of the organisation's global outreach during its centenary celebrations.
Hosabale interacted with intellectuals, academics and policymakers for direct conversations on the organisation's aims and objectives and in an effort to address misconceptions about it.
