व्यक्तित्व विकास शिविर : मंदसौर

स्वामी विवेकानन्द में जिज्ञासा तथा तर्कशक्ति बहुत थी इसी कारण वे श्रेष्ठ ऊंचाई तक पहुंचे। आज बच्चों और युवा पीढ़ी को स्वामी विवेकानन्द की तरह ही जिज्ञासु तथा तर्क शक्ति विकसित करनी होगी। अपने संकल्प और लक्ष्य स्पष्ट रखे, नकारात्मक विचार न लायें इससे सफलता संदिग्ध हो जाती है। इस आशय का मार्गदर्शन मंदसौर के दिगम्बर कन्या हाईस्कूल में चल रहे कैरियर गाइडेन्स तथा व्यक्तित्व विकास शिविर में मंदसौर जिला लोक अभियोजन अधिकारी एवं विद्वान श्री कैलाश व्यास ने प्रदान किया।

अनिवार्य शिक्षा, मौलिक अधिकार, बिना लायसेंस वाहन न चलाने जैसी समझाईश भी दी। आपने बच्चों से संवेदनशील बनकर अच्छे विचारों को अपनाने, दूसरों की मदद करने, साहस और संकल्प से कार्य करने का आव्हान किया।
इसके पूर्व श्री व्यास एवं आदित्य धनोतिया ने दीप प्रज्वलित कर सत्र का शुभारंभ किया। इस अवसर पर सहायक लोक अभियोजक नीतेश कृष्णन,

Personality Deveolopment Camp : Nagpur

The Personality Development Camp organized by Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari, Nagpur branch, from 01 May 2013 to 05 May 2013 at “Sant Ghadge Baba Schoo for Deaf and Dumb” Peepla Phata , Nagpur. The camp was of fully residential in nature in which sum of 59 children participated.

The participants were generally in the bracket of class V to class X. Majority of the students were aware of the concept and modalities of the personality development camp as  they were regular attendees of “Sanskar Varg” in their respective locality, who help the newcomers by helping in various activities of the five days residential camp.

Most of the participants reached early to the campsite on first day. On going through the registration process they were acclimatized to the surroundings and conduct of the camp. The day used to start at 0500hr, with a wake up call for all the campers, followed by “prataha smaran” at 0530hr, and yogabhyas and chanting (strota pathan) at 0645hr. After enjoying the nutritious Breakfast all participants start doing the Collective Shramdaan which is  followed by shram parihar. After a grueling session of hard work, was the time for discourses and contemplation starting at 1000hr. Participants witnessed some amazing lectures.

The lectures were “Amrutasys Putra, Bharatasya Putra” by LakeshDada, “Personality development” by Shri Abhijitji Vartak, “The life and teachings of Swamiji” by PriyaTai and a wonderful lecture on “Sanskar Varg” by Ma. Vishvasji on the closing day. All the four lectures were delivered in such a simplified and interesting manner that children easily understood and assimilated the gist.

A short  break was followed after the first session where children enjoyed the chilled aam pannah in scorching heat. Post tea break was the time for “manthan” or group discussion, wherein they were made to sit in their respective groups  to exchange opinions and ideas on various topics. The topics covered were – “Mera Bharat Mahan”, “Unity and its Importance”, "Be & Make” and “Development of Inherent Potential”. One of the representatives from a gana used to give conclusion of the topic so discussed, followed by summing up by one of the volunteers. It was an endeavor of the volunteers to simplify the subject so that children could assimilate the gist of the topic. Children specifically enjoyed and actively participated during sessions of “Be and Make” and “Development of inherent Potential”. Lunch was scheduled after group discussion, which children used to eagerly wait for! “Hobby Classess” were organized at 1400hr for which children used to reassemble on time. Niyudh (Karate),Varli painting and acting skills were imparted during these classes. This was a “happy hour” for participants as they enjoyed it most. After this  tea break was scheduled followed by “agyabhyaas” organized separately for girls and boys.

Approximately ten agya palan were learnt. Games, motivational songs and narration of stories were scheduled after this. During evening session, “Bhajan Sandhya” was at 1845hr followed by dinner at 1930. The interesting part of the day was after dinner at “Prerna se Punurathan”. Motivational and patriotic clippings were shown, then incidences from Swamiji’s life were narrated, each one of which conveyed a message. The day would culminate with “Gana Baithak” or group interaction during which gana pramukh would make the members of gana recapitulate the happenings of the entire day, discuss their experiences, feelings and views. Sharp 2200hr was lights out, time for children to sleep. A meeting of organising members was conducted after this to discuss the entire day’s proceedings and plan for the next day. This schedule was adhered to generally everyday.

On the forth day of the camp, during hobby classes participants were involved in rehearsing the cultural program to be presented on final day. Apart from this, various songs, stories, games, slogans and idea exchange were conducted daily to inculcate some positive personality traits amongst children.

On day five of the camp, closing ceremony was organized, where Vivekananda Kendra’s Prant Sangathak Ma. Vishvasji Lapalkar  and Shri Bharat Joshi were Chief Guest. Ma. Vishvasji  emphasized that it’s not only the family where children are made responsible but they should also be a strong pillar for society. Children always are beaming with energy and to channelize this energy is of utmost importance. These children are our country’s future  and will resurrect the society and nation as whole. A youth having latent potential, who is ingrained with Sanskars, will utilize his energies for evolution of society. Such Sanskars can be emulated through various social organizations. Vivekanda Kendra is one such organization or a Sanskar kendra which is committed to build youth with Sanskars. Here children are not only taught to respect their parents but to also love and respect their motherland. They are taught to be sensitive and responsible towards their nation.To endorse this, it is expected that parents will encourage their wards to regularly attend Sanskar Varg.

Shri B R Khandekar, Principle of Shri Sant Ghadge Baba School for The Deaf and Dumb,  further emphasized that for the overall healthy growth of children, Sanskar is an important aspect. He congratulated Vivekanada Kendra for doing such a tremendous work to inculcate Sanskar amongst  children. He quoted his own experiences and said that he himself has gone through these Sanskar varg and was hugely benefited by them.

A large number of parents witnessed the closing ceremony. Participants presented the programs based on the skills taught during the camp which included skit, niyudh, yogabhyas, experience narration, song, ekatmata strota. The master of ceremony were Aswini and Rutuja.

Infinity, Unity and Diversity: Ecohes of Eco

VK-Nardep has been publishing now a series of thoughts of Swami Vivekananda which form the basis of the philosophy for sustainable development. He has underscored the importance of three seemingly diverse but related aspects of what later became the bedrock of ecological science as well as environmental movement namely the Infinite nature of existence, the underlying unity of its infinite diversity.

He amazingly did not devalue one to emphasize the other but harmonized both. Diversity of existence is essential to realize the oneness of Nature. Realizing this oneness and striving to realize this oneness form the basis of our ethics as well as attitude of love and service towards all beings - from serving humanity to conserving bio-diversity. This month we bring an excerpt from the works of Swami Vivekananda where he speaks about this unity and its relation to serving all existence : Why should I love every one? Because they and I are one. Why should I love my brother? Because he and I are one. There is this oneness; this solidarity of the whole universe. From the lowest worm that crawls under our feet to the highest beings that ever lived — You can read the entire inspiring excerpt in our newsletter.

The Rameshwaram Teertham reviving project has been steadily evolving as now the Draupadi Teertham - another neglected and polluted water body in the holy island of Rameshwaram in getting de-silted and purified of the pollutants. The crumbling walls around the structure whose water harvesting area has already been diminished for laying out roads are in need of immediate attention and the timely intervention by VK-nardep has actually saved thisTeertham from getting lost to posterity for ever. You can read about this work in the newsletter.We have had an exciting set of monthly activities, with Sustainable agriculture camps, awareness visits by farmers and students, workshops for training of Shakthi Surabhi bio-methanation plants and workshop on traditional Nadi diagnostic techniques of Siddha medical system. They have all been well received by the target communities of professionals as well as general public.

In the publication section, you can read an excerpt from the acclaimed publication 'Akshaya Vikas' discussing the need for conserving bio-diversity: providing an Indic perspective. In the wisdom section we have three savants from India :Acharya J C Bose the scientist, Gurudev Tagore the poet describing the science and beauty of the unity and value of all life and then we have Mahatma Gandhi - practicing this unity and value of all life through his own example - trying characteristically of him : to live in harmony even with venomous snakes.

वैचारिक गोष्ठी : "आदर्श समाज व्यवस्था"

विवेकानन्द केन्द्र शिमला शाखा द्वारा वैचारिक गोष्ठी : "आदर्श समाज व्यवस्था" का रविवार, ७-अप्रैल-२०१३ को आयोजन किया गया। गोष्ठी की शुरुआत ३ ॐकार एवं प्रार्थना के साथ हुई। स्वाध्याय वर्ग प्रमुख श्री धर्मेन्द्रकुमारजी द्वारा "धर्म के लिए जिए, समाज के लिए जिए" गीत, उपस्थित सभी द्वारा दोहराया गया ।

विवेकानन्द केन्द्र शिमला शाखा के नगर संगठक श्री हार्दिकजी ने विवेकानन्द केन्द्र की देश में चल रही गतिविधी के बारे बताते हुए, वर्षभर चलने वाले स्वामी विवेकानन्द सार्ध शती समारोह के बारे में अवगत कराते हुए, सभी को इस समाज नवोत्थान के कार्य में सम्मिलित होने कि अपील की। विवेकानन्द केन्द्र के जीवनव्रती कार्यकर्ता श्रीमती कल्पनाजी द्वारा माननीय रेखादीदी के परिचय के बाद, सभी उपस्थित कार्यकर्ता एवं परिपोषको का सभी से परिचय हुआ।

माननीय रेखादीदीजी ने गोष्ठी की शुरुआत करते हुए कहा कि हमारा समाज, पुरातन संकल्पना-व्यवस्था से चला आ रहा है जिसमें व्यक्तिको, समाजको, विकास के लिए चिजें आसानी से उपलब्ध रही है  मगर पिछले कुछ २०० वर्षोसे अंग्रेजोकी राजनितिक परतंत्रताके कारण चरमरा गया है, उसको हम केवल मनुष्य निर्माण - राष्ट्र पुन:रुत्थान द्वारा ही वापस ला सकते हैं। और यह चरित्र निर्माण केवल भारत के लिए ही नहीं अपितु पूरे विश्व के लिए आवश्यक है। गोष्ठी के मुख्य बिन्दु निम्न प्रकार रहे।

•     स्वामीजी का विश्व प्रसिध्ध भाषण "अमेरीकावासी बहनों और भाईओं" भावात्मक एकता "वसुधैव कुटुंम्बकम्" का संदेश - वेदांत का संदेश है।
•     आदर्श समाज व्यवस्था के लिए हमे अपनी संस्कृतिको सही रुपसे पहचानना होगा।
•     संस्कारकी शुरुआत परिवार से होती है, और परिवार समाज से, समाज राष्ट्रसे जुडा हुआ है।
•     हम समाज - राष्ट्रके लिए कुछ समय अवश्यही निकाले। केन्द्र प्रार्थनामें "जीवने यावदादानं.." यह बताती है कि हम कितना दे सके। सिर्फ लेके की भावना नही।
•     सूचना से मनुष्य नहीं बनता। यह हमें अपने घरमेंसे अनौपचारिक रूपसे सिखाना है। स्वधर्म का पालन करना है ।
•     जो कुछभी बनो - अच्छा बनो, "जीवने यावदादानं.." की संकल्पना हमेशा अपने सामने रखनी है।
•     विदेशोका अन्धानुकरण के बदले गीता-उपनिषद, संस्कृत का अभ्यास करके स्वय़ंको जाने , अपनी संस्कृति पहचानने की आवश्यक्त है।
•     आजका "development" विनाशात्मक दृष्टीसे हो रहा है, जंगलो का विनाश, पर्यावरण का विनाश।
•     गीता युध्धभूमि में कही गई है, श्रीकृष्णने अर्जुनको तैयार किया था, वैसे आज हमें हमारे युवाऒको तैयार करने के लिए प्रयत्न करना है, युवाओंको विदेशी ताकात से लडनें के लिए तैयार करना है, आजके सांस्कृतिक आक्रमण द्वारा भारतका युवाधन खतम होने से बचाना है।
•     गीता for management, जैसे विषय पर बाहर के लोग गहराई से समझ रहे है, और हमें सबकुछ जल्दी-जल्दी चाहिए|

गोष्ठी के समापन करते हुए माननीय रेखादीदीजी ने कहा, समह मिलता नही पर समय निकालना पडेंगा, अपने लिए, अपने समाज के लिए।  "जीवने यावदादानं स्यात् प्रदानं ततोऽधिकम्" - यही उपाय है, समाज के लिये समय दे तभी आदर्श समाज व्यवस्था पुन:स्थापित हो सकेगी।

श्री आशुतोषजी, सहसंयोजक शिमला नगर ने आभार व्यक्त करते हुए सभी को समाजकार्य में सम्मिलित होने का आहवान किया। कार्यक्रमका संचालन शिमला नगर सहसंयोजक श्री सुभाषजी ने किया।
