NBJK Observes #GandhiMartyrdomDay

30 January 2022, Amrit Nagar (Hazaribagh): Today a symposium upon Religious Harmony was organized on 74th Martyrdom Day of Mahatma Gandhi at NBJK co-ordination office. Mr. Swarup Chand Jain (Senior Advocate) chaired the program which began with garlanding photo of Gandhi Jee by all and mass hymn “Eeshwar Allah Tero Naam, Sabko Sanmati De Bhagwan”.

In course of introducing the subject, Mr. Girija Satish has paid homage to late Prabhu Nath Sharma (a Gandhian & founder member-cum-treasurer of NBJK) and said that Sarvodaya Jagat has decided to organize symposium upon religious harmony by all Gandhian organizations and this event is a part of such episode. He regretted that a well-planned attempt is taking place these days to justify the murder of Gandhi, while Gandhian thoughts can’t judged in a limited perspective like freedom movement only. Gandhi Jee did a lot of works for upliftment of all exploited classes including women, dalit & minority as well as disseminated the message of peace to world; he pointed out and mentioned him as a source of insipiration for the renowned personalities like Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela with many more. Mr. Girija Satish has termed goodness as the basic human nature, peace & love as gist of all faiths and expressed hope for a peaceful world one day.

As the keynote speaker, Mr. Gautam Sagar Rana (Ex-MLA) has depicted the mourning across India & world after assassination of Mahatma Gandhi who reached the culmination of compassion & kindheartedness. He praised the vision of Gandhi Jee who warned about the risk of our dependency over machines, now appearing gradually as artificial intelligence. He considered the partition of India as a temporary incident and was optimistic for reunification, Mr. Rana said. Also he placed resolutions related to Gandhi Vichar Yatra among people and endeavor towards Integration of India-Pakistan-Bangladesh which passed unanimously in the meeting.

Mr. Shamsher Alam has called Father of the Nation as a messanger of love and welcomed his views like liquor prohibition & communal harmony. Dr. (Mrs.) Lalita Rana has compared Gandhi Jee with the lamp that never goes out and said about his works in almost every aspect besides practical application of religion in daily life. Mr. Bateshwar Mehta stressed over Gandhian activities at small scale and Mr. Nandlal Saw (Ex-Mukhiya) focused to spiritualism in place of religion. Mr. Chandra Kumar Yadav described about implanting Gandhian values among children, Mr. Rajesh Kumar talked about suppoting study upon Gandhi Jee and Mr. Pravesh Singh called love above all.

In his presidential address, Mr. Swarup Chand Jain has differentiated between being religious & fanatic. He quoted Gandhi as “My life is my message” and specified his thoughts as immortal.

Mr. Rajeev Singh anchored the dais and Mr. Shankar Rana delivered vote of thanks. About 50 people with NBJK staffs have attended the symposium.
