7 Session 1 Swami Vivekanand : Applicability of His Thoughts and Philosophy in Present Context Keynote Speaker : Sushri Nivedita Bhide Chair : Shri Dattatreya Hosabale Panellist 1 : Sushri Nivedita Bhide Coordinator : Dr. Ajay Upadhyay Co-Chair : Dr. G. K. Singh Panellist 2 : Shri Gajendra Singh Maatr Mandir Ka Samarpit Deep Main Chah Meri Yah ki Main Jalta Rahoon The beautiful song presented by the members of Vivekanand Swadhyay Mandal motivating the Youth power. Swami Vivekanand has been one of the most inspiring figures for youth for generations. The very first session was devoted to the ideas and philosophy of Swami Vivekananda. Sushri Nivedita Bhide started with a shlok Ishavasyamvidam saravam yatikanch jagatayam jagat Ten tyakten bhunjeetha ma gratha Human is not an individual complete in himself or herself but human are the integral part of the family, of t Vivekanand gave a strong emphasis on Practical Vedanta. He had translated the teachings of our ancestors simple form for better understanding. This is the biggest contribution of Swami Vivekananda to the humanity.

8 Mr. Gajendra Singh said about Vivekananda that Youth could not be changed by changing the system but the system could be changed by changing the youth. Swami Vivekananda always talked about personality development and the all change starts with I. Major Recommendations of the Session The session was open to the participants to put their opinion, views and suggestions. Education methodology and objectives were one of major points of discussion. Participants emphasized that role of education has to be transformed and defined so that it generates integrated human beings and not only economic beings. It was also emphasized that education should actively generate social awareness and actively participate in direct social transformation via service oriented education. The major recommendations that came out from the speeches of guests, papers of the participants and session discussion are as below: - 1. The education system lacks formal education of religion which creates more discordant society. The way, beauty of India lies in its diversity, similarly the religious harmony in India can be attained via dissemination of core values of every religion in current education system. Teachings of all the religions should be included in the educational system and since all religions point to the same principle; these teachings should be converged to universal religion. 2. To spread the awareness about goals of religion and harmony amongst different religions, it was recommended to include Chicago address of Swami Vivekanand in curriculum. It was also recommended to celebrate Universal harmony day on 11 th September, the day when Swami Vivekanand delivered his Chicago address. 3. The current education system lacks emphasis on service aspect of education.

9 To promote this aspect, it was recommended to celebrate 12th January, birthday of Swami Vivekananda, as International Service Day.This day should be observed by everyone by providing self-less service to person/institution/society or any entity in need of a particular service. 4. In order to inculcate service as a habit in the life of coming generation, it was recommended to include service as a part of curriculum like any other subject. It was also suggested to organize service outings in schools, colleges, universities and educational institutes. It was also recommended that corporates, government offices and other organisation should devote a regular time to social service. 5. Establishing Vivekananda Chair in educational institutes and universities to promote thoughts and teachings of Swami Vivekanand. 6. The education must be character building, man making education, value based education. *******

10 Session 2 Integrated Development for Happiness and Satisfaction Keynote Speaker : Dr. Ashok N. Bhaskarwar Session Chair : Dr. Shashi Dhiman Panellist 1: Dr. Nandita Pathak Coordinator : Dr. Brijesh Singh Session Co-Chair : Dr. R.C.S. Mehta Panellist 2 : Dr. Ashok N. Bhaskarwar Dr. Ashok N. Bhaskarwar started this session by sharing his experiences. He emphasized that every individual is a unique biological identity and one must never compare oneself with another and that we need to do beyond what is already done in any and every sphere. He stressed on the need to invest more in education in order to sharpen the focus of teaching faculties and students towards desired educational goals. For quality teaching faculty selection, he said that the selection of teachers should be based on merit and commitment rather than qualification. He emphasized that youth should equally concentrate on regular manual work and sports. In his own words education s true goal is to achieve dignity and serenity and for this, role models have to be identified in 21 st century. Dr. Nandita Pathak put up her feeling about this conference on Integral Humanism organised at GBPUAT. She said that she felt similar aura and inner vibrations in Pantnagar that she felt when she went to Chicago and stood in the hall where Swami Vivekanand delivered his speech. She presented initiative taken by Deendayal Research Institute to develop the people at grass root level.

11 Yuganukul Samajik Punar rachna She said that DRI is working on the projects related to empowerment of villages of India which is the need of century. Nandita ji said that one cannot buy happiness; social consciousness is the key to happiness. She added further that money cannot do rural development on its own; rather youth should be made self-reliant by encouraging and providing them with the atmosphere to take initiative. She stressed on the need of collective effort for integrated development by saying that we should sit together, think together, plan together, work together, progress together and credit together. Mr. R.C.S. Mehta said that, All power is within you and you can do anything. The session was open for discussion and experience sharing. Once again, education and its objective were discussed in different light and it was emphasized that education should be an enabler rather than creating job seekers. Lack of values or rather no clarity about values in education system makes people money centric resulting in different economic strata in same society. This discrepancy can be reduced by providing human value centric education. Extended social responsibility was given a due thought to eradicate issues at local level. The major recommendations that came out from the speeches of guests, papers of the participants and session discussion are as below: 1. The tendency to donate or to philanthropic acts in not prominent and this should be encouraged at all levels. There is need of a system to recognise and honour the philanthropic deeds in order to encourage it. The recognition for action on social causes should be more as these are life changing and societal enhancing deeds.

12 2.. Practical aspect of philanthropy and social action should be added in formal education system. These two aspects should be inculcated from childhood so that these form the basic trait of one's personality. 3. Basic vocational training should be available to all at early stages of formal education, specifically in the economically weak areas. 4. Employment should be generated in rural areas locally and the local talent should be utilized to run the employment generating local organisation to stop migration to cities. 5. Implementation of Time banking for services. Time banking would move us away from money centric business to service centric model and create stronger bonds within society and greater understating of human values. 6. Vivekanand Gram concept for rural areas and Vivekanand societies for urban area should be introduced to create holistic and integrated society. 7. Need of physical fitness and mental well-being should be emphasized in formal education system by including Yoga and meditation as a part of physical fitness training. 8. There is need of an organisation that can procure the money needed for social causes and monitor the flow and proper utilization of money.this organisation should coordinated with capitalist and NGOs to fulfil each other s need. 9. Children should be taught the importance of values like sharing and mutual cooperation.

13 Session 3 Universal Harmony and Broader Tolerance Keynote Speaker : Ach. Agyaatdarshan Session Chair : Dr. M. M. Verma Panellist 1: Shri Ravi Iyer Coordinator : Dr. Ranjan Srivastava Session Co-Chair : Dr. A. K. Karnatak Panelist 2: Shri Rajendra Chaddha Swami Vivekanand was the greatest apostle of universal love and brotherhood whose eternal message of divinity of soul provides the fundamental basis of universal tolerance. In this session we attempted to spread the same message by inviting views of academia and global fraternity to discuss and enlighten the congregation. The session was started by the insight of Acharya Agyatdarshan (Sacred Association of Rejoice and Laugh). He told that religion has to transform itself to become propagator of energy of youth and enthusiasts otherwise it would be as good as dead. He emphasized on the need of a guiding force to everyone that can lead everyone to better path. The way to success is the positive attitude said by Ravi Iyer Ji. Academic Institutions are teaching courses on Bhagvad Geeta to MBA students. Democracy is failing in countries due to unemployment which is the result of greed. If Geeta is taught to the Indians we will not have so much of corruption in India, said Ravi Iyer Ji. Ali kehta hai ki farishte se achha hai insaan banana Par isme padti hai mehnat Jyada

14 Shri Rajendra Chaddha Ji started with this beautiful quote & said that as the rivers from many paths meet with the sea your life, all men move towards the GOD from different paths and end his speech with the quote. Jo sota hai vah kalyug hai, Jo angrai leta hai vah duapar hai Jo uth khada hota hai vah treat, Aur jo chal padta hai vah satyug hai Dr. M. M. Verma emphasized on the need of guiding philosophy in life. He said that it is a misconception that Bhagvad Gita is only meant for a specific religion or sect rather it s a guiding path for whole humanity. All religions are in synchrony with each other and ultimately lead to one Almighty. Religion is purely a matter of one s individual inclination and faith and hence, none can be dictated which religion to follow. Swami Vivekanand himself pitied those who, out of ignorance, strived to propagate the supremacy of their religion. Few major points of discussion in this session were: If we talk of the concept of a Universal Religion, then we must realize that such a religion must cater to the different psychological needs of people and hence, must provide the freedom to practice one s own set of beliefs, customs and practices while integrating the common teachings and goals of all religions based on the spirit of harmony, love and tolerance. Religion is misinterpreted by most of us as a set of some traditional customs and practices, mostly reserved for observation by the elderly people but the truth is that religion is in fact the struggle to manifest divinity, it is an attempt to realize our true nature with the knowledge of unity of soul with God as its end and hence, it is the most daring adventure that humans can witness.

15 Major Recommendations of the Session After having a good discussion under the guidance of our learned panellists and speakers the discussion came up to conclusion that communal harmony comes after a better understanding of religions. Escaping from true essence of different religions can merely lead to communal tensions. The major recommendations that came out from the speeches of guests, papers of the participants and session discussion are as below: 1. An Interfaith Foundation should be established to promote the understating of different religions. Interfaith dialogue should be initiated by educational institutes under the aegis of Interfaith foundation to spread the awareness of every religion and their common and universal goals. 2. Cultural diversity and diversity in thoughts and opinions should be encouraged at all level. Schools should facilitate interaction between varied cultures via student exchange or temporary migration. 3. Society should integrate well with the schools and colleges at local level. Students should be given first hand exposure and experience of existing social issues and resolution. This initiative should be taken at local panchayat level in coordination with schools /colleges. 4. Electronic and print media should be used actively to disseminate the message of religious and harmony. Instances of unifying acts should be given due coverage. There is need to frame a policy where news channels and news house.

16 Session - 4 Saving the Earth - An Activist Approach Keynote Speaker : Dr. Ajit Rastogi Session Chair : Shri Jagdish Upasane Panellist 1: Shri Sudhir Chaddha Ji Coordinator: Dr. S. K. Guru Co-Chair : Dr. Vir Singh Panellist 2: Mr. Raghav Garg Mr. Jagdish Upasane said that We are organising conference on the theme Saving the Earth, it is not good to memorise them instead it must be in the general nature of the humans. We are living with two dual approaches but it must we one. If we decide something we have to follow it in every situation of life. He said that think less act more. Our festival and rituals are connected with nature so we have to save public resource. The Young Speaker Raghav Garg started with brief introduction of economy & philosophy. The major problems of present day is due to the capitalism which is driving our economy. He said that humans are not one dimensional but they are multidimensional. He also gave an overview of their project of low budget flats to the audience. Mr. Ajay Rastogi opened the session with ideas on the issue by stating that being an integral part of nature, humans have natural affinity with nature due to which any action which harms nature is bound to make humans uncomfortable too. Utilizing this fact, he told that if we perform actions which add to our state of tranquillity we would automatically be in harmony with nature and would be moving away from consumerism.

17 Dr. Vir singh started with congratulating the delegates and said that you all have spark in your heart which is enough to save the earth. The biggest diseases in the world customs & traditions. We are not growing due to our God Centric minds. Education is the transformation of our potential energy into the creative energy said Dr. Vir singh. The valuable energy on the earth is the energy of the youth. We have to understand our responsibility. Happiness must be the flow of every process and development it is not we have to review it. Education must lead to youth empowerment. We have to love our society, our nation and not only to work for money but also for a social cause, said Mr. Sudhir Chaddha. We can proud on our work if we are serving to the society. We have to responsible for the good change in the society.
