Bhopal: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav today addressed the inaugural session of the Provincial Youth Contemplation Camp organized by the Akhil Vishva Gayatri Parivar. He declared that just as the heart sustains life by purifying blood, the Gayatri Parivar is rejuvenating society, culture, and values from Madhya Pradesh, the very heart of India. The CM expressed immense pride that the state is hosting this camp, which directs activities focused on self-development, nation-building, and era transformation. Dr. Yadav inaugurated the three-day event, held at Sharda Vihar School, by lighting a ceremonial lamp. He also referenced the centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the ideological guidance provided to youth by great leaders like Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya and Bal Gangadhar Tilak.
Government Prioritizes Sanatan Values in Education
Acknowledging the challenges facing Indian culture today, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav praised the Gayatri Parivar for its divine flame that continues to shine globally. He highlighted the organization’s adherence to the eternal spirit of ‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah’ (May all be happy), noting its supreme duty is service to humanity through initiatives in education, healthcare, and de-addiction. The CM proudly stated that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the National Education Policy 2020 is being implemented to enrich Sanatan values. He confirmed that the state government has already included inspiring episodes from the lives of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna in school curricula. Dr. Yadav lauded the Parivar for simplifying traditional rituals, such as marriages, making them more accessible and strengthening their spiritual essence among the public.
‘When We Will Change – The Era Will Change’ as the Guiding Vision
Dr. Chinmaya Pandya of the Gayatri Parivar articulated the philosophy underpinning the organization, stating it is not merely a group but a “way of life and a school of thought.” He explained that the movement’s founder, Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya, transformed the Gayatri Mantra into a principle of living, emphasizing that true change starts within the individual. This is encapsulated in the core message: “Hum Badalenge – Yug Badalega” (We will change – the era will change). Dr. Pandya further shared that the camp’s objective is to outline the vision for “Developed India 2050,” built on spiritual and moral values. The goals include fostering a healthy, cultured, self-reliant, and service-oriented youth population to ensure a strong, excellent, prosperous, and happy nation. The camp was also attended by Union Minister Durga Das Uikey and Backward Classes Commission Chairman Ramkrishna Kusmaria.
