Dear Reader,
It gives me immense pleasure to bring before you this edition of the e-magazine September 2017 containing the programmes of the HSRC as well as a few articles written by scholars and persons interested in Holistic Science of Life and Living.
On the mandate of the United Nations to observe 21st June as the International Yoga Day as per the suggestion of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, like earlier years, this year also we celebrated the occasion with our students (admitted for the Certificate and Diploma in Yoga courses) staff of HSRC including the teachers who are actively involved in imparting lessons for the above courses. This issue contains a write up and the photograph of the celebration of Yoga day.
We also had the celebration of Gurupurnima on 9th July 2017 in which we had the occasion to remember the founder teacher of this centre whose thought has been reverberating not only in this campus but also in the places where his teachings has spread by the scholars as well as those who had the good fortune to be in the company of Dadaji. The Enlightened Soul Shri A.M. Patel (1908-1988) lovingly known as Dada Bhagawan,embodiment of pure love and compassion, explained and imparted a new vision of the Holistic life and living in a very lucid and simple manner to conquer the internal worries of the suffering lot to show them the path for the inner happiness. It is the main objective of this centre to explore the possibilities to enrich the humanity by the simple but profound teachings of Dada Bhagavan. The teachings of Dada Bhagawan have been very successfully carried forward by Shri KanuDadaji and we are fortunate to have his blessings for this.
There are a few interesting articles in this volume including that of Dr.Radhakrishnan on the topic "Science of Vitrag Vigyan and Self Realisation". Other illuminating articles in this volume include "Five Mahavratas" by Dr. J.P. Amin and "How to be Happy” by Preeti Jain, a Research Scholar.
The readers of this issue will also enjoy the article "Searching own Faults" under the heading Gems of Wisdom-5 from the book "Applied Spirituality" of late Mr. Jayantilal Shah, an industrialist of Mumbai, who has compiled his spiritual experiences. This valuable article is edited by Shri L.D. Patel, the Vice president of HSRC along with another article "The Role of God in Liberation of Human beings" from the Dialogues of Dadaji. These articles emphasise the ways and means of introspection for attainment of liberation.
The readers will be very much happy to know that the Jai Sachchidanand Sangh book entitled "Who Am I " containing Dialogues with Dadaji on Self Realisation is translated into Kannada as "Atmanubhava" by Shri Prem Kumar and published by the HSRC. The book was launched in Bangalore on 2nd April, 2017 in a function organised for that purpose.
This issue also contains a Gujarati article titled "Character Building" by Mr. Bhagirath Patel and it emphasise on good and moral character, which brings harmony in the lives of the house holders besides promoting law and order in the nation and peace in the world. It is followed by another scholarly writing of Shri Aniruddha Pathak “The Holistic and Solistic way of Life in the Mahabharata". I am sure the readers will enjoy going through the articles and we would always look forward to having your suggestions for the improvement of the contents.
To give indication about our future programmes, I am happy to mention that HSRC is going to host twin academic events of Asian Philosophy Conference and 92nd Indian Philosophical Congress during 3rd - 7th January 2018 and on behalf of Shri Vasantbhai Patel, founder President of HSRC, I invite all of you to register for participation in the above academic events.
I wish that all will benefit out of the teachings of great spiritual personalities like Shri Dada Bhagavan and lead a holistic life of happiness and fulfilment.
