विवेकानंद केंद्र अजमेर में मैदानी खेल कार्यशाला का आयोजन

आज बच्चों में मोबाइल टीवी और सोशल मीडिया के प्रति इतनी सक्रियता हो चुकी है कि उन्हें बाहर के मैदानी खेल खेलने में रुचि ही नहीं बची जिससे बच्चों का सर्वांगीण विकास नहीं हो पाता है। बच्चों को कम से कम दो घंटा मैदानी खेल अवश्य खेलने चाहिए क्योंकि इससे हमारा शरीर एवं मन तरोताजा बनता है जिससे हमारे मस्तिष्क की क्षमता जैसे एकाग्रता, स्मरणशक्ति आदि का विकास होता है। आज यदि हमें कैंसर जैसी बीमारियों से बचना है तो मोबाइल के रेडिएशन से दूर रहना होगा और स्वामी विवेकानंद के विचारों का अनुसरण करते हुए अपने जीवन को उन्नत और श्रेष्ठ बनाने की दिशा में काम करना होगा। उक्त विचार पार्षद कीर्ति हाड़ा ने अध्यात्म प्रेरित सेवा संगठन विवेकानंद केंद्र कन्याकुमारी शाखा अजमेर द्वारा पांच दिवसीय आउटडोर विण्टर कैंप के समापन समारोह में धौला भाटा स्थित महाराणा प्रताप सामुदायिक भवन में व्यक्त किए। केन्द्र के युवा प्रमुख अंकुर प्रजापति के अनुसार इस पांच दिवसीय कैंप में बच्चों को आदर्श दिनचर्या, पर्यावरण संरक्षण, संतुलित आहार और श्रेष्ठ जीवन तथा एक भारत विजयी भारत की संकल्पना क्रमशः अखिल शर्मा, शुभ्रा यादव, रजनी यादव ने ली। कार्यालय प्रमुख कुलदीप कुमावत ने बताया कि बच्चों को सूर्यनमस्कार एवं आसनों के अतिरिक्त विभिन्न खेल जैसे मगरमच्छ दौड़, किसान लोमड़ी, सुरंग दौड़, चरण स्पर्श आदि  खिलाए गए। इस संपूर्ण कैंप के दौरान कैलाश, राकेश, समृद्धि शर्मा का सहयोग रहा। कैंप में 35 बच्चों ने सहभागिता की।

संस्कार वर्ग प्रशिक्षण शिविर @ ​रायपुर

राष्ट्रीय चरित्र का निर्माण आज की आवश्यकता है। बालकों में संस्कारों का सिंचन कर उनमें राष्ट्रीय चरित्र का निर्माण किया जा सकता है। उक्त विचार व्यक्त करते हुए  डॉ. पूर्णेन्दु सक्सेना​ (आरएसएस प्रान्त सहसंघचालक)​ ने कहा कि बिना पराक्रम के कुछ भी प्राप्त नहीं होता। डॉ.​ पूर्णेन्दु ​सक्सेना विवेकानन्द केन्द्र कन्याकुमारी, शाखा रायपुर की ओर से आयोजित तीन दिवसीय आवासीय "संस्कार वर्ग प्रशिक्षण शिविर" के उद्घाटन समारोह को संबोधित कर रहे थे। इस अवसर पर नगर के प्रसिद्ध प्लास्टिक सर्जन डॉ.विवेक चौबे तथा केन्द्र के नगर संचालक मावजीभाई पटेल मंच पर विराजमान थे।

डॉ.पूर्णेन्दु ने कहा कि धर्म प्रत्येक मनुष्य के हृदय में विद्यमान है, इसी के बल पर व्यक्ति उचित-अनुचित, सही-गलत के बीच के अंतर को समझता है। उन्होंने कहा कि आज्ञापालन और अनुशासन यदि हमारे जीवन में है तो हम निश्चित रूप से सफल होंगे। उन्होंने सद्गुरु कबीर साहब, चाणक्य, गुरु गोविन्द सिंह तथा स्वामी विवेकानन्द के जीवन प्रसंग व विचारों के आधार पर नैतिक मूल्यों के महत्व को बताया।

इस अवसर पर डॉ.विवेक चौबे ने कहा कि संस्कार हमारी संस्कृति का महत्वपूर्ण भाग है। हमारी संस्कृति हमें संस्कारित करती है। जब हम पूरी निष्ठा व ईमानदारी से कार्य करेंगे तो हमारी प्रतिभा निखरेगी। हम हर कार्य में निपुण होंगे। उन्होंने कहा कि प्रतिभावान व चरित्रवान लोगों से ही राष्ट्र का विकास होता है।

इससे पूर्व "राष्ट्र की जय चेतना का गान वन्दे मातरम्" यह शिविर गीत प्रस्तुत किया गया। शिविर की प्रस्तावना केन्द्र के सहनगर प्रमुख रूपेश अवधिया ने रखी तथा संचालन नमन शुक्ला ने किया।
