Hindu Chaplains. People need advice on last rites, mental & spiritual support
for the young carers of elderly parents, spiritual care for people in prisons
and hospitals, marriage counselling for young couples etc. Currently, since

AZADI KA AMRIT MAHOTSAV
RSS SARSANGHCHALAK DR MOHAN BHAGWAT
On 15th August’22, Bharat will complete 75 years of Independence. To celebrate
this Amrit Mahotsav of Freedom, various programs and events have already begun
and will continue throughout the year.
and Mahatma Gandhi, through
his ‘Hind-Swaraj’ quotes elaborated on concepts about free Bharat . Freedom
fighter Veer Savarkar in his famous Swatantra Devi Aarti spoke about collective
well-being and sublime excellence. We also can’t miss out on the contribution
and two famous speeches of Dr. B. R Ambedkar, where he spoke of the meaning,
purpose, and reasoning of freedom and the duties every bharatiya should follow
and pursue to build a great nation.
SHRI VISHWA NIKETAN samvadnewsletter@gmail.com http://shrivishwaniketan.
We are in a festive mood, but that does not mean that we don’t have any
challenges or issues in front of us. Though some issues were resolved , some new
issues have also emerged. Despite all obstacles, the happiness and joy of this
Amrit Mahotsava is obvious and natural.
On 15th August 1947, after many centuries, we were able to establish
self-governance and organize an arrangement of self-rule as per our wishes;
under our system, under our flag, over a large area of the Bharat.
This independence also reminds us of the elongated period of slavery, hardships,
and constant battles that Bharatiya fought without deviating from the sole goal
of complete Independence. From a geographical view, this struggle of the
Bharatiya people against foreign powers was broad-based, widespread, and
all-encompassing. All sections of society contributed to the freedom movement as
per their ability, power, and strength. Society slowly grew aware of those
components that were posing obstacles in the way of our freedom.
While the various armed and unarmed struggles for freedom kept strengthening,
efforts were also undertaken to cleanse the society of social evils and to
awaken the society to get organized to work with collective interest.
Thanks to these relentless efforts, on 15th August 1947, we arrived at a
position to self-govern our land as per our will, as per our wish, as per our
choice, by our very own people. From here on, we bid adieu to the British rulers
and took control of running, operating, and administering our nation.
So, it is only appropriate and obvious, we relish this festive mood with
enthusiasm and an atmosphere of celebrations as our motherland completes 75
years of independence.
During this extended & protracted freedom battle, a significant number of
people, who are real heroes, sacrificed everything including their lives. Their
stories should be brought out and spread across society for the society to
imbibe, adopt and be inspired by their character, sense of patriotism and their
devotion towards motherland. (There were many small and big incidents, small and
big events, small and big acts that left an everlasting impact on our vast
nation)
The purpose, resolutions and the duties they worked for should be remembered and
such focus rejuvenation ought to be dedicated to them.
Why does the country need Swarajya?
Why can’t a county be controlled by an alien nation that does good for the
citizens of the country and for the well-being of the nation?
Self-rule and natural expression are fundamental for any society. Thus, the need
for freedom provides instinctive inspiration. A country can be governed well
only when it’s free and can decide for itself.
Swami Vivekananda once said, “Every nation takes birth and then it rises to
contribute something meaningful to the life of the world.” To contribute to
anything, the nation must be both free and capable at the same time. These are
basic and thus essential.
Like Swami Vivekananda, several great people, who worked for the awakening the
people of India and inspired the armed and unarmed revolution for the freedom
movement, have described in their own ways why it is not only essential to
achieve freedom but also how to handle and preserve it.
The revered RabindraNath Tagore, through his famous poem “चित्तजेथाभयशून्य,
उन्नतजतोशिर”
In line with the celebrations of Amrit Mahotsava, we should also introspect that
if the very purpose of freedom was to achieve self–reliance, then, in 75 years,
is Bharat completely self-reliant as yet?
If Bharat has to contribute meaningfully to the world, does it first need to
stand on its own feet wholesomely, and has Bharat attained self-dependence
across all spheres?
In 1947, we took an oath of making Bharat the greatest and bringing an era where
Bharat will show the light, the path, and lead the rest of the world. But, for
that, we need clarity, specificity, and a sense of direction in both our
thoughts and actions.
The greatest characteristic of Bharat’s eternal vision, its thoughts, and its
culture is oneness, wholesomeness, sampoorna. This is the message it sends to
the world by its conduct. Oneness is natural, free of conflict, all-inclusive,
based on experienced,logical and scientific truth and harmony that can sustain
forever.
Diversity is a mere expression of unity and not an expression of differences.
For being one, one need not be the same. If one forces it, then it leads to
discord and disharmony. We need to understand and respect each other’s
differences and take them all along to build a unified society.
We are all dedicated sons of MaaBharati. It is what connects us. Our eternal
culture of being kind, friendly, loving with affinity gives rise to knowledge in
our hearts.
From the holiness of one’s heart to the cleanliness of nature, this purity gives
rise to knowledge and wisdom. From ancient and historic times, our forefathers
have been guiding us to progress, proceed and move ahead on this path of
knowledge.Understanding our commonality of being sons of the same soil,
respecting the differences, leaving selfish attitudes behind, avoiding any
discrimination and nation first approach in every context is the need of the
hour. The entire society should come together and stand up with such beliefs.
Due to the passage of time, certain evils continue to plague our society -
discrimination, petty selfishness, etc. These arise from the desire for worldly
benefits, for wealth, and for materialistic gratification, etc., and complicit
our mind, words, and deeds.
To be free from these entanglements, one has to lead an exemplary life of good
conduct. Such enlightened souls (examples) help in building equitable societies.
And such societies that are equitable and free from exploitation create an inner
force that protects freedom.
There are enough agencies, powers, and people who are working in their selfish
interests to divide society by confusing, provoking, or creating conflicts
amongst various sections of the society. These groups operate not only within
the country but also from outside the country. Only when the society is alert,
well-organized and strong it can win over such forces that are bent to break it
or divide it.
We must develop and establish constant and transparent communication channels
within every single stratum of society. In a free and democratic country,
citizens have the right to choose and elect their representatives for
themselves. Such representatives should pursue the work in the overall interest
of the country to the best of their ability and discretion and should prefer
national interest above the ideology of the parties. They must maintain general
knowledge of the law, constitution, civil discipline and its faithful observance
is most essential for a successful democracy. However, in recent times, some of
these virtues have deteriorated. The erosion caused by it is due to the gimmicks
of politics that are present in front of all of us.
During disputes among people, speech incontinence (which is now a general rule
in social media) to prove bravery is also one of the major reasons why politics
is moving away from the nation to parties; and from parties to just degrading
others. Every one of us, including the leadership, should get away from such
conduct and maintain the discipline of citizenship. The rule of law has to be
followed and an atmosphere of respect has to be created.
Any kind of change anywhere in the world can only be brought about when society
itself is capable, competent and effective. No change can exist over a long time
if society is weak, vulnerable or fragile.
For the society to develop a system based on ‘Swa” by taking the good things in
both the age-old system and the prevailing system it has to have four basic
qualities – clear knowledge of ‘Swa’, patriotism, individual and societal
discipline and a sense of unity.
Superior materialistic knowledge, high quality skills, good governance,
administration etc., will only help that society and country which stands
united.
At this time of celebrating ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsava’, which we have achieved
though great sacrifices and hardships, we have to continue to work hard with the
same amount of dedication to take India to the pinnacle of its glory.
Let us accelerate on this journey with enthusiasm, clarity, and determination.
