When a day begins at 5 am, the energy is amazingly high, especially when it is with the teenagers excited to study a chapter named Science and Spirituality, not for marks, but for _LIFE_ at 5.30 am before Abhyudaya happens🎉 #AGVS #ruraleducatuon #education Bhagyashree Gandhi Deshpande Ameya Ambulkar Sachin Mandavgane, Ph.D Atindra Deshmukh SHRIKANT ANDHARE

गुढी पाडवा / चैत्र प्रतिपदा और कृषि संस्कृति  चैत्र शुक्ल प्रतिपदा यानि हिन्दू नव वर्ष का प्रारम्भ । यह दिन न सिर्फ घरों में मनाया जाता है अपितु खेतों में भी इसका अपना एक महत्व है| इस दिन खेत में उपयोग में आने वाले बखर, बैल और भूमि की पूजा करके नए वर्ष में नयी फसल की तैयारी शुरू की जाती है| इसी दिन से खेत में काम करने वाले व्यक्तियों का अगले वर्ष का अनुबंध (कॉन्ट्रैक्ट) भी शुरू होता है| बदलते समय के साथ अनुबंध की प्रथा लगभग ख़त्म हो गयी है और सभी दैनिक मजदूरी पर काम करना पसंद करते हैं, परन्तु नव वर्ष मानाने की यह रीत अभी भी जीवित है | यह सिर्फ एक धार्मिक-सांस्कृतिक क्रिया नहीं है बल्कि मानव का प्रकृति के प्रति कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करने का संस्कार है | अन्न उगाने की प्रक्रिया में हम जिन-जिन वस्तुओं का उपयोग करते हैं उन सभी को अपने से ऊंचा स्थान देकर इस दिन हम उन सभी से प्रार्थना करते हैं कि आने वाले वर्ष में भी उन सभी के माध्यम से हम अपना कार्य कर सकें | यह कृतज्ञता प्रकृति की एक ऐसी प्रणाली के प्रति भी है जिसमें शक्ति है एक बीज को हज़ार बीजों में रूपांतरित करने की | इसी शक्ति के विभिन्न रूपों की उपासना हम नवरात्री के नौ दिनों में करेंगे | 'भूमि' भी उसी शक्ति का एक रूप है और किसान उसका उपासक| Gudhi Padwa / Chaitra Pratipada and culture in Agriculture! This auspicious day marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year, celebrated not only within homes but also revered in the fields. It's a time when preparations for the forthcoming crop commence with reverence towards the instruments used, bulls, and the very land we cultivate. Though the tradition of formal contracts with field workers has waned over time, the essence of celebrating the New Year remains vibrant. Beyond a cultural, religious observance, it embodies a timeless human custom of expressing gratitude towards nature. As we elevate the significance of all elements involved in the agricultural process, we invoke blessings for a fruitful year ahead. This gesture of thankfulness extends to the intricate system of nature, capable of multiplying a single seed into abundance. During the upcoming Navratri festival, we'll further honor this divine energy in its various forms. Remember, 'Land' itself embodies this profound power, and the farmer, in essence, becomes its devout worshipper. #agriculture #farming #rurallife #culture Bhagyashree Gandhi Deshpande Sachin Mandavgane, Ph.D Ameya Ambulkar Kunal Kapoor Abhinav Shrivastava Nrupal Akolkar, P.

Bhagyashree Gandhi Deshpande has beautifully captured the essence of the journey towards self-discovery. The realization of the unchanging reality beneath the ever-changing roles we play is truly profound. It's a reminder that amidst the various hats we wear, there is a constant essence of "Self" that remains unchanged. Thank you for sharing your insightful perspective! 🌟 #SelfDiscovery #UnchangingReality #PlayfulJourney Kat (Katrijn) van Oudheusden

आज महाशिवरात्रि है, और संयोगवश अंतर्राष्ट्रीय महिला दिवस भी है | आज ही के दिन हमारी गौशाला में दो बछिया (गौरी और पार्वती) के रूप में स्त्री-शक्ति का प्रकट होना, यह भी एक दैवी संयोग है | शिव शब्द के कई अर्थों में से एक है जो सदैव दूसरों का मंगल करता हो| एक और अर्थ है - जिसके पास नित्य मंगल हो| इन अर्थों की अनुभूति तो गोशाला में नित्य ही होती है| गायों की उपस्थिति मात्र से परिसर में मंगल एवं कल्याणकारी स्पंदनों का अनुभव पिछले 10 वर्षों में अद्भुत रहा है| भौतिक दृष्टि से दिखने में एक प्राणी किन्तु भावनात्मक दृष्टि से ममत्व से परिपूर्ण ‘गाय’ के बिना भारतीय कृषि व्यवस्था की कल्पना भी नहीं की जा सकती है| कुछ ही दशकों पूर्व भारतीय परिवारों का अविभाज्य अंग रहने वाली यह ‘गाय’ बदलते पारिवारिक, सामाजिक और आर्थिक वातावरण में कहीं दूर हो गई है| पिछले 10 वर्षों में गौ-संवर्धन का एक छोटा प्रयास किया है और आज हमारे यहाँ गोवंश की संख्या 70 के ऊपर है| ऊपर से भले ही यह दिखता हो कि हम सब यहाँ गायों के लिए प्रयास कर रहे हैं, लेकिन आंतरिक सत्य तो यही है कि हम सब ही अधिक लाभान्वित हो रहे हैं| भौतिक-आर्थिक दृष्टि से तो हो ही रहे हैं लेकिन उसके परे भी लाभान्वित हो रहे हैं| कैसे हो रहे हैं यह तो एक आंतरिक अनुभव है जो स्वयं को लेना होगा| Bhagyashree Gandhi Deshpande Ameya Ambulkar Abhinav Shrivastava #AGVS #ruraldevelopment #ruraleducation #farming

🌟 Celebrating the Beauty of Co-Existence 🌟 Honored to have been part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations at Government College of Engineering, Amravati, where Bhagyashree Gandhi Deshpande and I had the privilege to inaugurate the lecture series as the first guest speakers. As engineers turned educators, it was a humbling experience to interact with the bright minds of tomorrow. Our journey from the corporate world to dedicating our lives to rural education has been a fulfilling one. For the past decade, we've poured our hearts into running a non-profit school, aiming to empower the next generation with knowledge and values. The theme of our lecture, "The Beauty of Co-Existence," resonates deeply with our ethos. In a universe where everything co-exists in a delicate balance, we are reminded of our interconnectedness with all beings and elements around us. From the tiniest insects to the vast galaxies, each entity plays a vital role in sustaining life on this planet. Through our work, we strive to instill in our students an appreciation for this interconnected web of life. We believe that by understanding and celebrating the beauty of co-existence, we can cultivate a sense of gratitude, empathy, and responsibility towards each other and the environment. Let us cherish the diversity of life and the intricate relationships that bind us together. For in this celebration of co-existence lies the essence of life itself. Our gratitude to Sachin Mandavgane, Ph.D Ashish Mahalle Manisha Khardenvis Jape for giving us this opportunity to share our thoughts with the students. Government College of Engineering, Amravati.
