3 - Year Plan for Phase - I According to Youth Vision
It is well known that Shantikunj has been striving
hard to organize dedicated and energetic young
men and women from all walks of life who
are ready to participate enthusiastically in the
making of the nation. The objective is to prepare
prudent, honest, responsible and brave young
men and women and properly utilize their talents
and energies in creative tasks. In order to develop
the spirit of cooperation with society amongst the
youth, our Mission devoted full two years (2016
and 2017) in organizing various youth camps/
expos/events at national as well as international
levels. It is interesting to note that youths in very
large numbers participated enthusiastically in all
these programs and they are now ready to take
up new responsibilities. With this view, we are
seeking the involvement of youth in different
activities during phase – I (and beyond) of
Matrushakti Shraddhanjali Mahapurashcharan.
Point-wise list of activities, in brief, is given as
follows:
1. Expansion of sadhana-centered
activities:
In order to maintain personal
integrity and earn pranic energy, it is
advised that our youth volunteers should
do upasana daily. At least, japa (chanting)
of 5 malas of Gayatri Mantra or writing 50
mantras in mantra lekhan book or reciting
Gayatri Chalisa 5 times is needed daily.
Regularity in this routine is very essential.
2. Yagya movement: In a massive movement
to make yagya reach every home, there
is a plan to perform yagyas in one crore
homes in the coming 3 years. Starting with
a ‘Balivaishwa Yagya’ let us perform one
or five-kundi yagya in the every house. If
the oblations of Gayatri mantra and Maha
Mrityunjay mantra are given daily, one can
perceive the transformation that will come
over the society in just three years. This is an
easy experiment and can be accomplished
by everyone quite conveniently. These
yagyas will not only rejuvenate the families
but also purify the atmosphere.
3. Come! Let us nurture a generation that is
endowed with sanskaras: In this program,
we plan to organize special workshops /
camps for couples and other members in the
family. Sanskaras like Punsavana (Womb
ceremony), Namakaran, Annaprashan,
Mundan, Vidyarambha, Deeksha,
celebration of birthdays and wedding
anniversaries should be performed.
Through these family-linked activities,
noble sanskaras will be instilled in people.
This global movement will go a long way
in introducing and popularizing the concept
of sanskaras.
4. Providing momentum to creative
activities:
a. Bhagirathi jalabhishek yojana –In this
program, we will intensify our participation
in ‘Ganga Safai Abhiyan’ (Ganga Cleaning
Program). The plan is to form Ganga
Pragya Mandals and arrange meetings near 51 tributaries of the river. Along with this,
we will also focus on constructing Shriram
Sarovars and do intensive campaigning to
encourage water harvesting. This program
will also include regular cleaning of water
sources and supervising them.
b. Vriksha Ganga Abhiyan – Apart from
extensive tree plantation, it is planned to
establish several Shriram Smriti Upavans
at tehsil or district level. This has been
one of our successful experiments and we
have completed 250 such gardens so far.
Our goal is to establish 24000 memorial
gardens by the year 2026.
c. Expansion of Bala Sanskarshalas – We
should extend the bala sanskarshalas to one
lakh places with minimum of 25 children in
each.
1. Establishing Sanskriti Mandals in 1 lakh
schools – If we are able to achieve this goal
in the next 3 years, the coming generation
of youth will be endowed with divine
qualities. Also, our Bharatiya Sanskriti
Gyan Pariksha will need to reach out to 2
lakh more schools.
2. Establishing one thousand Gram Teerths
– Each village should be transformed into
a Gram teerth. It should have one Chaupal
(a community space or building) and a
satsang mandal.
3. Organize ‘Divine Workshops’ in one
lakh schools/colleges – This will instill
new zeal in the minds of young men and
women. These students will join our
mission as committed volunteers after
being equipped with the life skills. It
is extremely important that the young
generation takes selfless interest in social
welfare activities.
4. Compassion oriented activities
in shaktipeeths – Well-developed
shaktipeeths may arrange to provide food
to the disabled or the poor admitted in
hospitals; they may also arrange for the
medicines in genuine cases.
5. Establish Aranyakas in forest areas –It
is planned to conduct training workshops
for self-reliance of vanvasis. We should
also have “Swavlambi loksevi mandals’ in
such places so that employment generation
is made possible. We should also conduct
programs related to education, health, selfreliance,
and social awakening.
6. Vyasan Mukti Andolan – De-addiction
programs taken up by our Mission should
be conducted across the nation. These
activities have caught momentum mainly
in Uttar Pradesh and few other places. But
we need to increase its pace and give it a
form of revolution.
7. Kanya Kaushal – Kishore Kaushal
– Sanskar Shivirs: These should be
conducted in each district. There should
also be regular regional-level gatherings.
8. Shaktipeeth Anniversaries: Each
Shaktipeeth should celebrate its annual
function in keeping with the tradition of
the Mission and resolve to develop the
Shaktipeeth as a center for realizing the
dreams of Param Pujya Gurudev.
9. Devparivar Nirman Satra: It is the
need of the hour that the families of our
volunteers should get connected to Gayatri
Parivar. Their sons, daughters-in-law,
daughters and sons-in-law should get
connected. With this purpose, 2-3 day Dev
Parivar Nirman satra should be conducted
in various places.
10. Cow-based farming and development
of cow-based products: We should
focus our attention on these topics and
ensure good participation of others.
The economy of our nation is based on
farming. If we want to improve it, this is
the only way forward
11. Translation and publication of Yug
Sahitya in various Indian and foreign
languages: This will help us in bringing
knowledge revolution in the whole world.
12. Akhand Jyoti Magazine: We should
increase our subscriber base to five times its
current number in the coming three years.
Presently, this magazine (Hindi and its
translations in other languages) reaches 1.2
million homes. By 2020, we should reach out
to 6 million. This is not an impossible task.
We should all strive to achieve this goal.
13. Pragya Pustakalay (Libraries): We
should start Pragya libraries containing
inspiring literature (Yug Sahitya) in one
lakh villages. This will be a very important
activity; and more dedicated volunteers
will be required for this work.
14. Social Media: We should use social media
extensively to publish our bulletins and use
it for our publicity.
This is our initial proposal. We will continue to
refine and add more activities as time goes by.
