Bhuskute's Padyatra to spread message of peace and Humanity
Vinod Chandrashekhar Dixit11/1/2018 8:12:34 PM
Vidyadhar Bhuskute a 66-year-old is on a mission - to walk across the country to spread the message of peace and bonhomie. He started walk from Gandhi Ashram Ahmedabad to Kanyakumari and to Kolkata. He will be walking the entire journey going along the coast, via Kanyakumari, covering 7500 KM. During his walk, he will meet and speak to farmers, labourers, students, youths , the orphanages, the old and many others. He has taken up the patriotic genes from his parents Annasaheb Bhuskute and Sindhutai Bhuskute who were freedom fighters. The seeds of patriotism and social work were sowed back in his childhood and later the seeds only grew into a healthy tree of patriotism. In view of this, Bhurkute started an organization that works for the homeless woman and helps them make a living. He organised lectures of noted social workers and 'influential' names through his Annasaheb Bhurkute Manch to create awareness among the masses.
He will be walking the entire journey going along the coast, via Kanyakumari, covering 7500 KM. During his walk, he will meet and speak to farmers, labourers, students, youths , the orphanages, the old and many others. On this occasion Shri Arun Kumar Jain - General Manager Bank of India (National Banking Group- Central) Ahmedabad flagged off . Vidyadhar says he cannot sleep unless I have walked for at least five kilometers in a day. His parents had participated in freedom struggle, were incarcerated and did social work after India got freedom. Clean tracks amidst miles of greenery only increased his appetite to walk.
Vidyadhar has covered over 8000 km, crossed 26 rivers in 18 states and seen lush green fields, fascinating waterfalls and rugged mountain ranges. Vidyadhar 's love for walking existed since childhood as he would walk 5kms everyday. When he grew up, he would walk from Dombivli to Vangni, CBD Belapur and Vashi on his weekly-offs.
Vidyadhar walks 35kms everyday and has walked through AP, Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. He thought of taking up these walks as a means to know India as well as to bring people together. Really it's a challenging task for a man of 66 years old. Noted personalities including former President of India Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, Senior Editor Kumar Ketkar, social worker Medha Patkar, Dr Kiran Bedi have commended Bhuskute's work and have extended their support to his mission.
His aim is to promote peace, humanity, environmental balance, education and raise awareness about other issues. His mission is to spread message of peace and humanity and on five main objectives viz. Peace, Environment, real education , female foeticide and humanity. He feels that a generation of freedom fighters have sacrificed their lives to give us freedom and now its our turn to get together to make our country stronger.
After working for the Bank of India (BOI) for 40 years, Bhuskute is now doing what he loves to do the most- walking. BOI also supports him in his endeavour. His walks have enriched him as a person and a human being. He is a true follower of the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda. According to him peace is a sign of harmony characterised by lack of violence and lack of fear of violence. There is no doubt that Vidyadhar's walk for peace will spread positive energy on both sides of the border.
