► Inauguration of Acharya Mahapragya’s Book “Vichar aur Nirvichar”
“First alphabet of religion is morality. There are three bases of practicing the religion - morality, rituals and spirituality based practice. Today morality based practice has vanished and only rituals become the primary religious practice. All these problems are because of dual personality of religious practices.” These thoughts were expressed by Acharya Mahapragya on the occasion of the inauguration ceremony of his book “Vichar - Nirvichar” (Thought and Beyond No Thought) at Anuvibha, Jaipur on July 6, 2008.
He further said that all the big and complex problems of world are created by intelligent people only. We have assumed the intelligence and thoughts as the last boundary and this is the basic mistake committed. Today time demands that each religious leader should become an economist and each economist should thought like a religious leader then only solution will come out. Today the list of billionaires are publishing here and there but no body is taking care of those who are sleeping with empty stomach.
Truth is searched on the basis of real feelings. For this we have to go beyond the thoughts. Intelligence is not the dead end; the absolute truth is far ahead of it. We have left the absolute truth and get stuck to the thoughts only. All are revolving in the boundary of thoughts and intelligence. These two can’t solve the problem. For solution we have to feel the reality, translucent feeling is not worth full. Even God can’t remove the corruption if education and economics is not blended with the sensitivity, kindness and generosity with the proper training of putting some limitation on earning, usage and utilization of the money.
In context to his book “Vichar aur Nirvichar”, Acharaya Mahapragya said that if this book inspires and motivates to move from thought to beyond thoughts level, it will be its best utility.
Ex Vice president of India Mr. Bhairon Singh Shekhawat in his speech said that though book seems to be small in first sight but it is a great creation from the view of its sincere application in life. Today service to poor, development of backward areas, etc are not being taken place truely because education of treating religion as a work is not imparted. Fact is that this can’t be done properly until administrative system gets purified.
He said that he had started his political career with the inspiration of Anuvrat from Acharya Tulsi and now he is having the blessings of Acharya Mahapragya. Acharya Mahapragya is the only religious leader who is teaching the true do’s and don’ts of religion.
Famous journalist Shri Prabhas Joshi expressed his views. He said tolerance and non-absolutism are two things through which we can move from thoughts to beyond thoughts stage. World is utilizing, centralizing and earning wealth in name of tolerance but no one has the thrust of knowing about the day by day widening gaps of disparity. One fourth of country’s population is spending night with the hope of food next day. The thoughts and efforts of monks like Mahapragya can pull up all from this tragic situation. Country from last one thousand years was guarded by these kinds of saints, poets and Acharyas hence it is able to exist as a single nation.
The inauguration of Acharya Mahapragya’s “Vichar aur Nirvichar” was done by Ex Vice president of India Mr. Bhairon Singh Shekhawat. Editor of book & senior journalist Shri Subhu Patwa and publisher Shri Deepchand Sankhala presented the book to Shri Sekhawat for inauguration. After inauguration, Shri Sekhawat presented its copy to Prabhas Joshi, Acharya Mahapragya, Yuvacharya Mahashraman and Sadhvi Pramukha Kanakprabha ji.
Putting reflection on the subject matter of book, Shri Shubhu Patwa said that as Acharya Mahapragya is kind and generous hence it became easy to edit his articles. But as he is blessed with the super intelligence, editing becomes a tough task. Book “Vichar se Nirvichar” is the compilation of some selected articles of Acharya Mahapragya and the successful editing guidance wass received from Muni Dhananjay kumar and Muni Jayakumar.
