Vice President of India praises the work and social contribution of Brahma Kumaris on their 85th Anniversary

27 October 2022

“Life is incomplete without spirituality. Right education, right thinking and right knowledge can give us strength. India was a “Vishwa Guru” in the past and will become one in future again,” the Vice-President of India said.

Abu Road (Rajasthan): The country’s 14th Vice President of India Honorable  Jagdeep Dhankhar and Dr Sudesh Dhankhar were at the 85th anniversary of Brahma Kumaris and Deepawali celebrations on the theme “Towards an Empowered, Prosperous and Golden India” held at Brahma Kumaris World Headquarters, Abu Road in Rajasthan today.

The Vice President, Honorable Jagdeep Dhankhar today emphasised the need for developing spiritual mindset among individuals, families and society as a whole to root out impropriety, immoral conduct and negativity from the nation. Opining that “life is incomplete without spirituality,” Shri Dhankhar said that the technological transformation currently underway across the world will have a better impact on people’s lives if it is infused with spirituality.

On this occasion, Mr. Dhankhar termed spirituality as an essential part of our education that “makes a person a complete person,” and lauded Brahma Kumaris for promoting spirituality and Dharma (righteousness) across the world. Praising the New Education Policy – 2020 for laying emphasis on Indian civilizational values, he observed that “the right education, right thinking and the right knowledge can only make us powerful as a nation”.

Describing Brahma Kumaris as an epicentre of Indian cultural values, he said that “the noble thoughts of world welfare & world happiness emanate from here.” He also praised Brahma Kumaris for planting over two million saplings to combat climate change and called it ‘an organisation of unparalleled dimensions that exemplifies the virtues of not only humanity but entire living beings on the planet.’

Mentioning a series of affirmative steps and farsighted initiatives in recent years, the Vice President said that India is on the move like never before and urged the media to highlight and “celebrate the rise of India”.

Referring to the role of Rajya Sabha as the ‘House of Elders’, Shri Dhankhar said that our constitution makers had envisioned that Rajya Sabha, with its conduct and farsightedness, will provide a new direction to the country. He also urged the parliamentarians to set examples for the common public through exemplary personal and collective conduct worthy of emulation by others.

“What we dreamt of will soon come true. Our educational institutions have led the way in the world. In the history of the world, there is no other nation other than India to give the message of truth and peace,” he said.

“Right education, right thinking and right knowledge can give us strength,” Mr. Dhankhar said. “India was a “Vishwa Guru” in the past and will become one in future again” Vice-President said addressing the program held to mark 85th anniversary of Brahma Kumaris in Abu Road.

The Vice President lauded the work and social contribution of the Brahma Kumaris. Today the world is accepting the iron of India, it is seeing our charisma. India has always served the world and even today spiritual institutions are working with the intention of giving something to the world. Appreciating the work of the Brahma Kumaris, he said that from here we get the cultural philosophy of India. For human welfare, it is necessary that such institutions go ahead and work for the welfare of the society. Only then India will once again become the world guru.

He said that the country’s new education policy has been formulated keeping in mind its culture, ideas and heritage. “The country will go in a new direction because education is the core and religion is our heritage and capital” .

Mr. Dhankhar said even during the coronavirus pandemic, India served the whole world. India became the fifth largest economy in the world and within a decade, it will be the third largest economy, he added.

Sukhram Bishnoi Minister of State for Forest & Environment, Government of Rajasthan, Rajyogini BK Jayanti, Additional Chief of Brahma Kumaris, Rajyogi BK Brij Mohan, Additional Secretary General Brahma Kumaris, Rajyogini Dr BK Munni, Joint Chief of Brahma Kumaris, Rajyogi Dr BK Mruthyunjaya, Executive Secretary of Brahma Kumaris, Rajyogi BK Karuna, Chief of Multimedia Brahma Kumaris and others from different parts of India attended the event.

सही शिक्षा, सही सोच और सही ज्ञान ही हमें ताकत दे सकता है: उपराष्ट्रपति जगदीप धनखड़
– ब्रह्माकुमारीज के 85वें वार्षिकोत्सव में पहुंचे उपराष्ट्रपति जगदीप धनखड़
– सशक्त, समृद्ध और स्वर्णिम भारत की ओर विषय पर कार्यक्रम आयोजित
– उपराष्ट्रपति बोले- ब्रह्माकुमारीज ने जो विजन बनाया है मैं उसे सैल्यूट करता हूं, यहां आकर भारतीय दर्शन की सोच के दर्शन होते हैं
– राष्ट्रगान के साथ कार्यक्रम का हुआ शुभारंभ

आबू रोड/राजस्थान (निप्र)। ब्रह्माकुमारीज संस्थान के 85वें वार्षिकोत्सव और दीपावली स्नेह मिलन समारोह में उपराष्ट्रपति जगदीप धनखड़, धर्मपत्नी डॉ. सुदेश धनखड़ ने विशेष रूप से शिरकत की। उन्होंने दीप प्रज्जवलन कर वार्षिकोत्सव का शुभारंभ किया।
सशक्त, समृद्ध और स्वर्णिम भारत विषय पर आयोजित कार्यक्रम को संबोधित करते हुए उपराष्ट्रपति धनखड़ ने कहा कि भारत ही एकमात्र ऐसा देश है जो विश्व के कल्याण की बात कर रहा है। भारत विश्वगुरु था और फिर से एक दिन निश्चित रूप से विश्व गुरु बनेगा। जिसका हमने सपना देखा था वह जल्द ही साकार होगा। हमारी शैक्षणिक संस्थाओं ने दुनिया का मार्ग प्रशस्त किया है। दुनिया के इतिहास में सच्चाई और शांति का संदेश देने वाला भारत के अलावा और कोई राष्ट्र नहीं है। आज भारत बदल रहा है। दुनिया भारत का लोहा मान रही है। भारतीय होना अपने आप में गर्व और शान की बात है। भारत आज किसी का मोहताज नहीं है।

दुनिया के सबसे बड़े संकट में भी मूल्य नहीं खोए-
उपराष्ट्रपति धनखड़ ने कहा कि दुनिया के सबसे बड़े संकट कोरोनाकाल में भी भारत ने अपने सांस्कृतिक मूल्यों का ध्यान रखते हुए पूरी दुनिया की सेवा की। भारत ने दुनिया के सामने वह कर दिखाया है जिसकी कोई कल्पना कर नहीं सकता है। कोरोना में 80 करोड़ लोगों के राशन की व्यवस्था सरकार की ओर से की गई है। जिन लोगों ने हम पर लंबे समय तक राज किया, जिनका सूर्य कभी अस्त नहीं होता था। उनकी अर्थव्यवस्था से भारत ने छलांग लगाकर दुनिया की पांचवीं अर्थव्यवस्था बना। इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं कि हम जल्द ही एक दशक के अंदर दुनिया की तीसरी सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था होंगे।

18 करोड़ परिवारों को दिए मुक्त कनेक्शन-
उपराष्ट्रपति ने अपने सांसद के कार्यकाल को याद करते हुए कहा कि 33 साल पहले एक सांसद के रूप में मुझे 50 गैस कनेक्शन मिले थे। वह मेरी ताकत थी। मैंने सोचा था कि कम से कम 50 घरों में हमारी मातृ शक्ति के आंसू पोंछ सकूंगा। आज हमारी सरकार ने महिलाओं के लिए उज्जवला योजना से 18 करोड़ परिवारों को मुक्त गैस कनेक्शन दिए हैं। हर व्यक्ति के लिए जल की व्यवस्था की योजनाएं बनाईं हैं। ये सरकार की बड़ी सोच का कमाल है। इन कदमों से आम आदमी के जीवन में बदलाव आ रहा है।

युवाओं को आज रुपयों की कतई कमी नहीं-
उन्होंने मीडिया से आग्रह किया कि भारत के नवनिर्माण को सेलीब्रेट करें। जो हमने किया है, वह कोई नहीं कर सकता है। यह सोचकर हमें डर लगता है कि क्या इतना बड़ा काम हम कर पाएंगे। जबकि सरकार ने आज 40 लाख से ज्यादा लोगों का बैंक एकाउंट खुलवाया है। आज के नवयुवकों के मन में विचार और बदलाव की आवश्यकता है उसे धन की तो कतई कमी नहीं है। इतिहास का अध्ययन करेंगे तो पता चलेगा तो भारत के लोगों ने कभी गरीबी की बात नहीं की। उन्होंने दुनिया को मूल्यवान बनाने की बात की है।

ब्रह्माकुमारीज ने जो विजन बनाया है मैं उसे सैल्यूट करता हूं…
उपराष्ट्रपति धनखड़ ने कहा कि यह दिन मुझे सदा याद रहेगा। जीवन की सच्चाई अंदर है। ब्रह्माकुमारीज में आकर भारतीय दर्शन की सोच के दर्शन होते हैं। दुनिया का कोई भी भू-भाग नहीं है जहां पर ब्रह्माकुमारीज की उपस्थिति न हो। यह उपस्थिति कोई भूगोल से जुड़ी नहीं बल्कि आध्यात्म की उपस्थिति है। यहां जो राजयोग की बात कही गई वह अमिट है और आज विश्व की आवश्यकता है। कम शब्दों में यहां जो बताया वह गीता का सार है। हमारी संस्कृति का आधार है। ऐसे में जब हम देखते हैं कि जहां मूल्यों का पतन हो रहा है वहां चिंतन की आवश्यकता है। ब्रह्माकुमारीज ने जो विजन बनाया है मैं उसे सैल्यूट करता हूं। सही शिक्षा, सही सोच और सही ज्ञान ही हमें ताकत दे सकता है। आध्यात्मिकता के अभाव में परिवार और समाज नष्ट हो जाते हैं लेकिन ब्रह्माकुमारीज समाज में आध्यात्मिक मूल्यों से सिंचित करने का कार्य कर रही है। यहां से जुड़ा हर एक सदस्य अपने आप में शांतिदूत है। आध्यात्मिक समावेश के बिना जीवन अधूरा है। सही और सच्चा विकास तभी संभव है जब विकास के साथ उसमें आध्यात्मिकता का समावेश हो।

हमारी नई शिक्षा नीति संस्कृति पर आधारित-
उन्होंने कहा कि मैंने राष्ट्रीय शिक्षा नीति का गहन अध्ययन किया है और मुझे यह जानकर आश्चर्य हुआ कि इस नीति ने हमारी संस्कृति, विचारों और विरासत को पटल पर रखकर इसका निर्माण किया है। देश नई दिशा में जाएगा क्योंकि शिक्षा मूल है। धर्म हमारी धरोहर और पूंजी है। आध्यात्म, धर्म यूनिवर्सल है। जिसका प्रचार-प्रसार करने का कार्य ब्रह्माकुमारीज कर रही है।

उपराष्ट्रपति बोले- यहां आकर मुझे दो बातों का बोध हुआ-
पहली: एक यहां मुझे बहुत कुछ छोड़कर जाना होगा।
दूसरी: यहां मुझे होमवर्क दिया गया है- मेरे सम्मान में जो कविता पढ़ी गई है, उसमें जो लिखा गया है उसे सार्थक करने के लिए मुझे बहुत प्रयास करना होगा। यहां से मैं शक्ति लेकर जा रहा हूं कि राज्यसभा के प्रत्येक सदस्य को मैं प्रेरित करुंगा कि उनका सामूहिक आचरण भारतीयता के सिद्धांतों को दिखाए और अनुकरणीय हो।

ये भी रहे मौजूद-
इस मौके पर विधायक जगसीराम कोली, कमिश्नर, जिला कलेक्टर डॉ. भंवरलाल, एसपी ममता गुप्ता सहित अन्य अधिकारी-कर्मचारी मौजूद रहे।
