All values are defined by sensitiveness: Dr. Pranav Pandya
Bhopal: These days, families are breaking up, individuals are coming apart and decay is spreading like an epidemic. The only remedy of this ill is returning to values in life. Without culture, values of life cannot come. All values of life are defined in human sensitiveness. This was stated by Akhil Vishwa Gayatri Parivar’s Director Dr. Pranav Pandya at the concluding session of International Seminar on value-based life here today. Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Vidhan Sabha Speaker Shri Sitasaran Sharma were specially present on the occasion. The 3-day international seminar was organised by Department of Culture with the cooperation of Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas, New Delhi and Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism & Mass Communication, Bhopal.
Dr. Pandya said that entire world is in the throes of spiritual crisis. Common people have become machines in this era of globalisation and industrialization and their lives are devoid of values. It is as if there is no soul in the body if values are missing. Gita says that recognising God through elements is the biggest value of life. God is an amalgam of ideals and virtues. Spiritualism is significant value of life. Noblest life is based on values and virtues. During present times, it is a virtue for one to understand and trust his values. Values in a person’s life will awaken through virtues. He said that civilizations and not culture exist in other countries of the world. India is the only country where culture exists. Culture sows seeds of virtues in inner self. Ideals will have to be made part and parcel of familial life. Children will have to be imbued with human values through love and affection. Culture is synonym to spiritualism. Inculcating it in life is inculcating human values in life. It is perseverance to lead a human value-based life while suffering difficulties while keeping happy while observing perseverance is virtue. It should be our goal to give values of life to disciplined body. Swami Vivekananda had said that be good and make others good. Self-reform is the biggest service in the world. Power of thoughts make life value-based. We accept values of life in real terms turning vested interests into liberalism and egotism into tolerance. Lack of sensitiveness has resulted into erosion of values of life. All values of life are enshrined in sensitiveness.
Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that values of life are needed in all walks of life including politics and governance. Leadership is one which takes people in the right direction. The state government in tandem with society will fully live up to ancient traditions of Simhastha. Ideological campaign would continue side by side traditional programmes. In Madhya Pradesh, schemes have been chalked out by knowing views of various sections of society. He said that one thought changes entire life. A person becomes what he thinks. We have also have heart, intellect and soul apart from body. Government should join hands with society to change the world. Feasible outcomes of this seminar would be implemented.
Vidhan Sabha Speaker Shri Sharma said that brainstorming should be made to find the way to inculcate values in social life. Its beginning will have to be made from self. Value-based education should pave way for formation of a society where people are able to live lead a value-based life. He said that a new beginning of ideological revolution has been made in Madhya Pradesh. Educationist Shri Aniruddha Deshpande said that values can strengthen system through education. Shri Atul Kothari of Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas said that discussions have been made on 10 subjects at the seminar and Declaration of every subject will be chalked out. Vice-chancellor of Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Mass Communication Prof. Brij Kishore Kuthiyala informed about discussions and suggestions which came up during the seminar.
