Renowned Garbha Sanskar coach Dr. Vishnu Mane made a strong statement in Pune. He emphasized that holistic development for children can only happen through training based on five core principles. These principles cover physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, and techno-educational growth.
Festival Celebrates Birth Anniversaries
Dr. Mane spoke as the chief guest at the Sanskar-Samvad Festival. The Geetai Humankind Development Trust organized this event in Pune. It marked the birth anniversaries of Rashtramata Jijau and Swami Vivekananda.
Dignitaries formally inaugurated 'Our Mini Gurukul' during the occasion. Special guests included International Yoga Guru Dr. Samprasad Vinod. Pandurang Taware, a pioneer of Indian agri-tourism, also attended. Education expert Pundalik Wagh, a scholar of ancient Indian education systems, was present too.
Manikrao Babarav Jogdand presided over the program. He serves as Chairman of Karmayogi Babarao Jogdand College of Agriculture. Other attendees included Ram Jogdand, Director of Ramalex Group. Dr. Santosh Jogdand, Trustee of Geetai, joined the gathering. Trustee Manorama Jogdand and Chief Executive Officer Avinash Jogdand were also there.
Dr. Mane's Key Address on Motherhood and Garbha Sanskar
Addressing the audience, Dr. Mane pointed out a concerning trend. He noted that women working alongside men are gradually losing focus on motherhood. He stressed that imparting Garbha Sanskar to women would help create a cultured, intelligent, and capable future generation.
Dr. Mane linked planned parenthood with Garbha Sanskar. He said this combination would contribute to building a healthier society. He expressed confidence in Geetai OMG's approach. Through this initiative, skill education along with culture and values would be effectively nurtured.
Dr. Samprasad Vinod on Lifelong Education
Dr. Samprasad Vinod shared his perspective on education. He described it as a continuous lifelong process. He observed that modern education often neglects a crucial aspect. The ability to derive true knowledge from education gets overlooked.
He emphasized that learning should be experience-based. Therefore, special emphasis must go to strengthening children's foundations. Referring to Swami Vivekananda, he highlighted key goals. Instilling self-confidence and awareness of one's existence among children remains vital.
Avinash Jogdand Explains Gurukul Objectives
Avinash Jogdand detailed the objectives of the new Gurukul. These include value-based personality development. Fostering national and social awareness forms another goal. Strengthening democracy and educating citizens about rights and duties are key aims.
He added that the Gurukul redefines patriotism as responsibility. A free, flexible, and joyful Gurukul system has been developed. It integrates education, values, experience, and dialogue. This approach targets the all-round development of children.
Experts Stress Values and Agriculture
Pandurang Taware and Pundalik Wagh addressed the gathering too. They stressed that ideal personalities form through values and education. This makes the Gurukul system highly relevant today.
They also emphasized an important need. The younger generation must reconnect with agriculture in coming years. Encouraging this shift will benefit society and individuals alike.
