Lok Jagaran Padyatra (Walking tour for mass awakening)

 This Padyatra will start from Vasant Panchmi, 2018 (January, 22). It will continue for 3 years and depending on the circumstances it may continue for 6-9 years. Padyatra will cover the entire nation and, where possible, different parts of the globe. 

This will include tour of important Shaktipeeths / Chetana Centers. The core team undertaking the tour will consist of 4 senior parijans (who will devote full time), 3 members of the music troupe and one companion team for assistance. A floating population of 25-50 travelers along with some regional volunteers will take part in the Padyatra. 

A vehicle will accompany the team to provide for food, shelter and carry the literature required. A motor cycle and video chariot will be sent wherever possible. The main objective is to expand the reach of revolutionary literature, connect to people at the grass-root level, increase the membership of Akhand Jyoti magazine, rejuvenate spiritual and religious centers that come along the route of this yatra, and conduct deep yagya in the evenings at the halting place. Conducting meetings in schools and colleges, writing inspiring quotes on the walls, distributing stickers, promoting the cleanliness of pilgrim centers, media coverage, celebrating festivals collectively, meeting eminent personalities, book exhibitions in selected places and distributing pamphlets and books will be the major activities during the padyatra. 

Let us prepare the list of volunteers who can devote their full time (3 years) for the task or at least few months, so that this program can be launched on time. Permanent and part-time volunteers are encouraged to register themselves for this program as soon as possible. Let a route map be prepared and the activities chalked out as per the demography of the region. Formulate a specific daily routine for the volunteers and other travelers that will take part in the journey. Think of forming a regional-level organizing committee. Take requisite permissions for vehicles and for organizing the programs. Prepare a budget in advance and decide on the start and end dates. Decide on where the team will halt for the night and let the corresponding people know about such plans, in advance. Plan for brahmabhoj (voluntary distribution of books) and procurement of books required for the trip. Take adequate care regarding security throughout the journey. Meet other likeminded people from other organizations and explain the objectives of this program. Arrange for laptop and projector for PowerPoint presentations along with requisite PA system that will be required for conducting programs as planned. 

Along with national-level yatras, regional-level yatras can also be planned from one shaktipeeth to another. At the international level, Gayatri Pariwar units in Srilanka, Nepal, East African nations, Australasia (Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand), European subcontinent, North America, South America and Canada can also plan such walking tours. 

The main objective of this Padyatra is to promote goodwill, peace and harmony across the globe.
