PRAGYA SANDESH – 21st Century, Bright Future (A weekly periodical by All World Gayatri Pariwar Youth Group, Bangalore Branch) www.awgp.org

Objective of the Periodical:

The root causes of the ailing state of the world today are – the crisis of faith, people’s ignorance of the powers of the inner self, and the lack of righteous attitude. These have evaporated the oceans of joy from people’s life and polluted them with ever increasing insecurities, infirmities and complexities. Realizing the hidden power of thoughts is very important in the present era of intellectual evolution. This periodical will serve as a vehicle for thought transformation for the revival of Satyug - the divine era.

SATSANKALP (Divine resolve): There are 18 satsankalp. As per Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya they correspond to 18 chapters of GEETA. Given below is the fourteenth of eighteen. “Paramparaoon ki tulna mein vivek ko mehatwa denge ” Meaning: We shall give more importance to wisdom than to the traditions.	UPAKHYAN (Anecdote): In the year 1885, the New English High School, Pune was celebrating a big function. A volunteer had been deputed at the gate to allow admittance to the invitation card holders only. The chief guest of the function was the then Chief Justice Mahadev Govind Ranade. When Ranade arrived at the venue he was stopped by the volunteer who requested for the invitation card. “My boy, I do not have any such card with me,” Ranade said. “In that case, Sir, you cannot go inside” was the volunteer’s polite answer. Seeing the chief guest held up at the gate many members of the reception committee rushed over there and tried to escort him inside. But the volunteer protested: “Gentlemen, how can I perform my duty sincerely if reception committee members themselves interfere in my work? Whoever the guest be, he is supposed to carry the invitation card with him. I can not be partial”. This same volunteer later rose to fame as the great Gopal Krishna Gokhale and rendered great service to the nation. Gandhiji considered him his political guru. Conclusion: Performing the duty with sincerity & honesty is sure to bring rewards.
