Surat: In the ‘Gita Sanidhya’ lecture series, renowned speakers from across the country imparted knowledge for 55,000 minutes: Shreyans Dholakia, Entrepreneur- Brand Custodian, Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK).
For the past one year, the uninterrupted ‘Gita Gyan’ lecture series has been continuously organized by the collaboration of SRK Knowledge Foundation-Surat (SRKKF) and Narmad University’s Center for Social Studies. State Governor Acharya Devvratji and State Education Minister Dr. Prafulbhai Pansheriya attended the concluding ceremony held at Sanjivkumar Auditorium, Pal-Adajan, Surat.
During the event, the Governor stated that there is no problem in life that does not have a solution in the Gita. When we feel disappointed or hopeless in life, this scripture can help us come out of negativity. It explains the harmony of action, devotion, and knowledge in a simple way.
He also emphasized that Indian culture has not only enlightened India but has also provided the understanding of “philosophy of life” to the entire world. He added that the ancient Vedas are the foundation of the creation of the universe. The Vedas, Upanishads, and the research conducted by ancient Indian sages are unparalleled contributions to humanity. The word ‘research’ originated from the word ‘Rishi’ is a matter of pride.
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is not a specific religion, sectarian text, or doctrine-specific text, but a globally accepted scripture. It addresses global problems. Only by realizing the self can we find a meaningful path to live life. Even in this modern age, it is relevant. Lord Krishna in the Gita teaches humanity how to live the best life through Arjuna’s medium.
The Minister mentioned that through the knowledge of the Gita, students become cultured and civilized. Under the new education policy, the state government has introduced the teaching of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita from grades 6 to 12 in schools. The principles and values of the Gita will bring positive changes in the personalities and attitudes of students.
In this context, with the presence of many lovers of literature from the city, including the President of Gujarat Sahitya Academy Shri Bhagyesh Jha, prominent figures such as Shri Kanjibhai Bhalala, Nagjibhai Dholakia, Arjanbhai Dholakia, Shreyansbhai Dholakia, and Director of V.N.
