Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 25: In connection with Sardh Shatabdi Samaroh Sankalp Diwas was organized in the premises of Dewan Badrinath (10+2) Vidya Mandir, Amarvilla, Talab Tillo, Jammu. A large number of students, teachers and a good gathering of local people attended the Sankalp Diwas. Gathering was addressed by the Principal Dr. Baljeet Singh, Gyan Chand, Sanjojak North Zone, Shyam Lal (Karya Prabhandhak) and Prem Nath Raina Ji. Sanyojak J&K) also addressed the gathering and highlighted the importance of the day and also stressed upon the people to follow the teachings of this great scholar, philosopher and reformer. Relevant to mention here that one of the most significant contributions of Swami Vivekananda to the modern world is his interpretation of religion as a universal experience of transcendent Reality, common to all humanity. Swamiji met the challenge of modern science by showing that religion is as scientific as science itself; religion is the 'science of consciousnesses. As such, religion and science are not contradictory to each other but are complementary. This universal conception frees religion from the hold of superstitions, dogmatism, priest craft and intolerance, and makes religion the highest and noblest pursuit - the pursuit of supreme Freedom, supreme Knowledge, and supreme Happiness. The prevalent morality, in both individual life and social life, is mostly based on fear - fear of the police, fear of public ridicule, fear of God's punishment, fear of Karma, and so on. The current theories of ethics also do not explain why a person should be moral and be good to others. Vivekananda has given a new theory of ethics and new principle of morality based on the intrinsic purity and oneness of the Atman. We should be pure because purity is our real nature, our true divine Self or Atman. Similarly, we should love and serve our neighbors because we are all one in the Supreme Spirit known as Para atman or Brahman. |
