Gayatri Pariwar’s clarion call for transformation of era

By Rajendra Diwe :

All World Gayatri Pariwar to start World-level 40 days Sadhana Anushthan to mark Vasant Parva from January 30 to March 10, 2020

‘Vasant Parva’ is a very auspicious period starting from the first day of Magha month. Vasant Panchami the fifth day of Magha is an important festival to be celebrated across the country on January 29 and 30. The Panchami Tithi begins on January 29, 2020 at 10.46 am and will end on January 30, 2020 at 1.19 pm. The significance of Vasant Panchami lies in the worship of Goddess Saraswati, symbol of wisdom and also the onset of spring season. According to the popular belief, the origins of this festival lie in Aryan period. Aryans came and settled in India through Khyber Pass, crossing the Saraswati River among many others. Being a primitive civilization, most of their development took place along the banks of the River Saraswati. Thus, River Saraswati began to be associated with fertility and knowledge.

It is then that the day began to be celebrated. According to mythology, a popular associated with this day is connected with poet Kalidasa. After he was married off to a beautiful princess through trickery, the princess kicked him out of her bed as she learned that he was foolish. Following this, Kalidasa went to commit suicide, upon which Saraswati emerged from the waters and asked him to take a dip there. After taking a dip in the holy waters, Kalidasa became knowledgeable and began writing poetry.

Thus, Vasant Panchami is celebrated to venerate Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of education and learning.

Special significance to Gayatri Pariwar

Vasant Parva marks the advent of spring surging forth of vibrant life in nature; which was lying dormant during the chilly, cold and constrictive winter. It is also a festival dedicated to Mother Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, literacy and art. Vasant Parva is of special significance to Gayatri Pariwar in many ways.

All World Gayatri Pariwar is celebrating Vasant Parva as a foundation day of mission since last 95 years.

This is the holy day of self-realisation by our Guru Satta Poojya Pandit Sriram Sharma Acharya on Vasant Parva of 1926.

The Akhand Deepak (source of inspiration to millions) was lit 95 years ago, on this very auspicious day in the year 1926. Since then it has been kept lighted uninterruptedly. All the plans and decisions of our Mission are made in the light of this Symbolic Lamp of Enlightenment.

Foundation day for its main centers like Shantikunj, Gayatri Tapobhumi, and Brahmvarchas.

On Vasant Panchami, Yugrishi took an oath of performing 24 years of Gayatri Mahapurushcharan on the instruction of his great Guide on this day. Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya’s Yug Nirman Satsankalp “The avatar (divine incarnation) for change of the era would first manifest in the form of inner will. This Yug Nirman Satsankalp is a seed form of this avatar”. This is a statement emanating from the pure wisdom of a great saint, whose heart pulsated to eliminate agonies and adversities from this world and who relentlessly striven to create a positive ambiance of holistic progress.

He dedicated every moment of his life for this noble cause. As the precious glow of gold shines after rigours processing in fire, his mission also gloriously stood all tests of time and left no doubt that the protocol of Yug Nirman is an expression of the divine resolution of the Nishkalank Pragyavatar. Change of the Era means altering the trends of the times, transforming the culture, environment and way of life. This seemingly impossible looking task can be accomplished only if the majority of the global human society is transformed. Individuals constitute the families; families constitute societies, ensemble of which is the global human community. Thus the world would usher in a bright new era if each one of us resolves and transforms accordingly.

The world is what we perceive it as by and large it is a reflection of our own outlook. Inculcation of righteous outlook in the light of universal values of humanity by every thoughtful person could therefore be the driving force to trigger and propagate the gigantic wave of epochal change. Only an angelic seer like Gurudev Pandit Shriram Sharma Aacharya could envisage the future, and plan and propagate such absolute as well as practical approach for the present. Not only that, he also created necessary sublime ambiance for it through his decades of dedicated spiritual endeavours.

Many people would regard “Yug Nirman” – creation of a new era; “Yug Parivartan” – change of an era, as rhetoric slogans or superficial claims. In the present times of ecosystem degradation, economic crises, corruption, separatism, terrorism, and all-round decline, how could one claim to change not only a society, but an ‘era’ itself? So the pledge of “Yug Nirman” might sound like a 'utopia' to most readers. However, those who know that the immense willpower, unperturbed determination, tremendous courage of the great Rishi behind this is of the level of “Ekoham Bahusyami” and “Dharma Sansthanpanarthaya, Sambhavami Yuge, Yuge”, would see the real substance in it. It is the resolution of a saint, reformer, pre-eminent thinker.

What several thinkers and scientists of global repute are predicting today regarding the possibilities of bright future for mankind also emanates from the same key idea that he announced half a century ago – creation of an (bright) era by (refined) holistic development of individuals. “In these times of change of the era (Yug Parivartan), the facilities that will be provided to accomplish this task of change will originate in the invisible world. The visible actions will have their roots in the invisible world. Whatever has to be done shall be done by the sublime body in close association with Brahmi Chetna. Similar transformations, as have been seen in the past, will continue to be brought about but it will not be apparent as to who is driving them and how. Since the mistakes of the past two thousand years have to be remedied in one hundred years, the refinement process will also be at its peak.”
