Beltangady: Dharma Sansad concludes, passes six resolutions


‘Every village should have Anganwadi based on Gurukula model’

Daijiworld Media Network - Beltangady (SP) 

Beltangady, Sep 4: "At a time when life values are declining, there is a need for the society to achieve spiritual renaissance on the basis of righteousness. Dharma Sansads like these can function as beacons for such a transformation," felt Dr D Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala establishment.

He was speaking after presiding over 'Rashtriya Dharma Sansad - 2018', which happens to be a congregation of religious scholars, organized at Sri Atmananda Saraswathi dais at Lord Rama Temple at Kanyadi here to celebrate the decennial celebrations of the enthroning of Sri Brahmananda Saraswathi as spiritual head of this temple.

Dr Heggade said that one can get a feeling of total contentment and fulfilment when he shapes his life on the basis of religious principles. "The main aim of any religion is to throb to the problems and ordeals of others," he explained.

Supreme head, Sri Mahant Devananda Saraswathi Swamiji of Juna Akhara of Prabhu Harnath Mandir in Haridwar, who inaugurated Dharma Sansad, said that our ancient education system was based on the basis of culture, traditions, and thinking process. "Our education system was backed by the divine aim of lighting up lofty ideals in the minds of people. But because the Macaulay system of education, we are turning away from these rich principles. There is a need to shape a balanced education system which gives rightful place to ancient culture, refinement etc. Let us build an affluent India and wrest back the position of being the Guru for the whole world," he said.

In his benedictory address, Sri Brahmananda Saraswathi Swamiji, said that peace and harmony will become a way of life in the society when education based on ancient culture is implemented. "The refinement one gets in the school during the childhood becomes the guide for one's entire life. We should understand the need for this system of education. With this basis purpose in mind, this Dharma Sansad has been organized. We have brought together people's representatives here to press for the implementation of this system of education," he explained.

Union minister, D V Sadananda Gowda, speaking on the occasion, noted that change is the nature of the world and inventions and transformations are now happening at high speed. He therefore urged spiritual heads, Maths and temples to guide the people to match the speed of these changes.

Rajya Sabha member, B K Hariprasad, wished that the principles of unity and equality preached by Brahmashri Narayana Guru would be strictly followed and the resolutions which might be passed here should be based on principles and ideals of the Guru.

MP, Nalin Kumar Kateel, promised to raise the resolutions passed here in the Lok Sabha to attract the attention of the government.

MLA and president of the executive committee of the Dharma Sansad, Harish Punja, welcomed. Chief convener of the organizing committee, Satyajith Suratkal, delivered introductory address. Assistant convener, Krishnappa Poojary Kalladka, proposed vote of thanks. Convener of the dais committee, Keshava Bangera, presented the programme.

During the deliberations, Dharma Sansad passed six resolutions.

1. Education system should be suitably modified to include history of India in the syllabus. The governments should take Hindu spiritual leaders into confidence for this purpose.

2. Within a decade from now, every village in the country should have a system of Anganwadi based on Gurukula model.

3. Central and state governments should set up Saints Welfare Fund to provide security for the lives of spiritual guides, saints who keep undertaking pilgrimages to various centres, and aged saints.

4. Constitutional laws which are necessary in day-to-day life should be included in the syllabus.

5. 'Dharma Sansads' should be organized on the basis of 'Vasudaiva Kutumbakam - the world is one family'. Therefore, criticism of other religions should be strictly avoided.

6. For establishing 'Rashtriya Loka Kalyana Manch', heads of all traditions of ancient Hindu religion should be brought together. This 'Manch' will come in handy for achieving general welfare and protection of the religion.

    Gurukula education system had its own drawbacks. It was designed to teach upper class people to learn to read Vedas and Upanishaths. New ideas were not entertained. There was no question answer session. One should memorize what was taught. The education system introduced by Lord Macaulay was also not perfect. It was initially meant for preparing clerks for East India Company. It was also a rote learning system. This is the reason Ph D holders are applying for Peon positions in UP. What we need a Montessori educational system where one can identify and encourage student's natural interest. We cannot force a student who has interest in music to become a doctor, engineer o lawyer. There will be music everywhere !!!

    Dear Arun, Mangalore

    I QUOTE YOURS: So u dont follow any religion? For a civil debate sake what is your take on the fact all 3 religions claims only their path is right and only way to reach god? You know the difference between athiests and believers of book? Believers are seen as disbelievers if they dont same religion! Like for a believer in islam, both christians and hindus are disbelievers ! So who is the real believer?!!
    UNQUOTE.

    Which Faith or A Religion you belong???!!!
    Are you a Hindu or Are you a Muslim. I hope you are not a Jew or a Christian.

    I am ashamed for a civilian debating person feels shame of displaying his own name.

    Concerning to religion: Which religion you mean to say, are the major three religions???!!! Which are they???!!! Is it specified Christianity is a religion in your book???!!! Show me. Also is it specified in your book all 3 religions claims only their path is right and only way to reach God. Show me the scriptures from your Book.

    Concerning to Atheists you have to ask with the Atheist Salman Rushdie or Taslima Nasrin and not with a believer like me.

    For us Christians, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the God of the Whole universe, the Almighty God. For us, Muslims are disbelievers because they believe in another god which was not at all existed prior to 300 B.C.,

    Are you a believer???!!!
    Do you believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as specified in the Holy Bible.

    What is the base for your Book.
    Without the Holy Bible your book has no relevance, value and no base foundation at all whatsoever.

    Calm down joseph. Its just an argument. No need to throw a hissyfit! I was born in hindu family, believe in god or higher power but dont follow religion as per book. Cant have a civil debate with a person who whose best strategy is to throw personal insults.desperation it is ! Not a new thing for me. 2000 plus years was enough time for any religion to say its the only true Jews dont believe in your claims. So are muslims. Dont know why you keep saying its for the world when majority dont believe in it. You should watch ahmed deedat videos to know how he easily counters all your claims!

    Dear Arun, Mangalore,

    You can watch Zakir Naik's vodeos also.

    God gave us freedom and Ahmed Deedat utilised it to mute himself as per his wishes.

    He was in a coma for a period of 9 years 3X3X3=9 years.

    This A.Deedat was unable to speak, unable to recognise, unable to take food from his mouth.

    Totally nine years he suffered on this earth because he ridiculed God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit through out his lecture.

    There is no personal insult from my side.
    You have your freedom you can write it any way.

    This forum provides debates and the debates will follow from the truth

    AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE.

    FOR YOUR KIND INFORMATION DEBATING WILL TAKE PLACE FROM A CORRECT NAME NOT JUST THROW A NAME FOR THE SAKE OF A NAME.

    FURTHER TO TELL YOU.

    WHAT IS THE WRONG IN FOLLOWING TEN COMMANDMENTS.
    SECONDLY WHAT IS THE WRONG IN BANNING DOWRY AND POLYGAMY.
    THIRDLY WHAT IS THE WRONG IN BANNING CHILD MARRIAGES AND AGE LIMIT TO MARRY AT NOT LESS THAN 18.

    My take on the resolutions:
    1. Education system should be suitably modified to include history of India in the syllabus. The governments should take Hindu spiritual leaders into confidence for this purpose.
    TKM: Why? Why should we still rely on history when the country needs to look into the future? India included Pakistan and Bangladesh, so should we take history of Harappa etc too into education?

    2. Within a decade from now, every village in the country should have a system of Anganwadi based on Gurukula model.
    TKM: Every village needs to have such competent teacher first. we are struggling to find good teachers so what help will gurukula do?

    3. Central and state governments should set up Saints Welfare Fund to provide security for the lives of spiritual guides, saints who keep undertaking pilgrimages to various centres, and aged saints.
    TKM: okay, what about athiests welfare? what about Catholic Priests and Imams, Buddhist and Jain Monks?

    4. Constitutional laws which are necessary in day-to-day life should be included in the syllabus.
    TKM: Indian constitutional laws included in syllabus is a noble idea. fully support. But wait, it was already there(We had Civics in our Social Studies in school)
    5. 'Dharma Sansads' should be organized on the basis of 'Vasudaiva Kutumbakam - the world is one family'. Therefore, criticism of other religions should be strictly avoided.
    TKM: Start from home please. Make it mandatory for Hindu monks not to criticise other religions first, else they get stripped from Sannyasa.

    6. For establishing 'Rashtriya Loka Kalyana Manch', heads of all traditions of ancient Hindu religion should be brought together. This 'Manch' will come in handy for achieving general welfare and protection of the religion.
    TKM: Are you so insecure of your religion that you need protection? Why do you need to rely on religion for everything you do in life?

    I am suggesting / urging all the Dharma Sansad leaders, members and participants to make/ adopt a resolution to add in students curriculum in schools and high schools to teach 10/TEN COMMANDMENTS TO ALL.

    THIS IS MOST IMMINENTLY IMPERATIVE AND VERY IMPORTANT FOR ANY HUMANS TO LIVE IN THE SOCIETY.

    Secondly, Child marriages should be stopped.
    Thirdly marriage age should be 18 to every humans.
    FOURTHLY DOWRY AND DIVORCE SHOULD BE BANNED.

    Read and follow Ten/10 COMMANDMENTS of Almighty God.
    You will find what is the significance to the Humanity in this planet earth.

    We the Indians especially the Women folk are not secure and the rapists are not mature.

    ALL SHOULD FOLLOW TEN COMMANDMENTS IRRESPECTIVE OF CASTE, CREED, COLOUR, FAITH AND RELIGION.

    Principles are very important to guide us in our life.

    Regardless, at the start of the 20th century (i.e. 1900 AD), 98% of Indians were illiterate. It was only after the British India Government started funding education and paying wages to the teachers did India start becoming literate in a big way.
