This year Ananda Marga is celebrating the Golden Jubilee anniversary of Renaissance Universal throughout the globe, which was propounded by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti jii in the year 1958 at Trimuhan, Bhagalpur district of Bihar province.

Delhi Chapter of Renaissance Universal organized a symposium on “Shrii Shrii Anandamurti Jii and His Philosophy for Social Change” in LTG Auditorium, Mandi house, Copernicus Marg, New Delhi-1, on 14th of September 2008 at 5 PM to 9 PM.

Incidentally, the propounder, Shrii Shrii Anandmurtijii started his composition of Prabhat Samgiita on this same date (14th September 1982). Therefore, a cultural program based on Prabhat Samgiita were also followed the symposium.

Around 360 people participated in the programme. Programme was organized by the Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, Delhi Chapter in LTG Auditorium, Mandi house, New Delhi -1,

In First Session Shri Ranjan dwivedi, (Advocate, Supreme Court) addressed the programme and read out the welcome address.

Speaker Dr. OP Malik said that “Today’s humanity has no doubt made some progress in intellect, in wisdom, and in rationality. Human beings came onto this earth about a million years ago. The feelings and sentiments, hopes and aspirations, frustrations and disappointments, cares and anxieties, pleasures and pains, tears and smiles of the present-day human beings are almost the same as those of the primitive humans. The difference is that the emotions and feelings of the present human beings are deeper than those of their ancestors.”

He further said that “Humanism newly-explained and newly-sermonized is Neo humanism – the philosophy which will make people understand that they are not merely ordinary creatures. This philosophy will liberate them from all inferiority feelings and defects and make them aware of their own importance; it will inspire them to build a new world.”

Mr. Justice DS Tewatia addressed the gathering as Chief Guest of the program. He said that PROUT advocates the formation of self-sufficient socio-economic units throughout the world. They will work to enhance the all-round welfare of the people in their respective areas and unite humanity on a common ideological base. The interests of all local people will be guaranteed and gain proper recognition. As each unit becomes strong and prosperous it will merge with other units. The formation of a world government will assist this process of integration. Socio-economic units will thus facilitate the comprehensive, multifarious liberation of humanity.

He further said PROUT’s system of socio-economic groupifications is a comprehensive approach to the socio-economic problems confronting society. If people adopt such an approach, society will move along the path of progress with increasing speed, overcoming all bondages and hindrances. Human society will enjoy a bright and glorious future.

A senior monk of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha & Central PRS/RU/RAWA Secy, Acarya Rudrananda Avadhuta said that, “Spirituality for Shrii Shrii nandamurti ji means liberation from the bondage of our I-ness through a psychic process and to expand the mind to infinity. He taught a new technique called maha’rajadhirajayoga to realize ones own self and negotiate the gap between imperfection and perfection.it leads one to Bhavatiita Samadhi and ultimately to Moksa9salvation). His spiritual philosophy is complete and rationalized Tantra, combined with new dimensions of social ethics and a Bio-psychological approach.”

Further Acary Rudrananda Avt ji said “Meditation developed concentration, memory, creativity, intuition, control of emotions, efficiency in action, self confidence and inner peace. Meditation is not a religion but a science.”

“Experiment in the laboratory of your own mind and discover the endless happiness within. Normally the brain emanates irregular rhythms, data waves. Repeating a special sound called a “Mantra” creates a calm vibration that stills the restless mind, gradually, the brain waves slow down to calm, rhythmic alpha waves and the mediator enters a state of deep and serene concentration, with continued concentration of the Mantra” the brain waves slow still further to “theta waves” and tremendous psychic energy buids up in side the mind.”

A senior Grhii Acarya of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, Acarya Sujit kumar presided the programme and said that “In the material world or in the intellectual world, the predominant tendency that makes today’s people, both individually and collectively, rush headlong without control, is the instinct of greed. The propensity of greed, if not controlled by rationality, or benevolent intellect, or spiritual practices, will lead to premature death. Nothing can save human beings from this. This instinct of greed has brought the present humanity to such a state that people no longer consider anything as sinful. Rather, they consider the “sin psychology” as a mental weakness, and the worst of sins are being glorified as the height of intellect, not only indirectly but also openly.”

He very distinctly gave the guidelines for the improved life of human beings and their role for the comprehensive changes of the society.

In second session, Didi Tisya Mathur addressed the gathering and gave introductory notes on Prabhat Samgiita, She said “Prabha’t Sam’giita is a body of 5018 songs composed by Shrii Shrii Anandamurtijii. It is a distinctly new school (Gharana) in the world of music, rich in lyrical import, heart-regaling melody and rhythm, and perfect diction. This marathon composition began at Deoghar, Bihar, on September 14, 1982, and completed by October 20, 1990-a period of only eight years. Each song has a district ghara’n’a (school of music) with its own characteristic style.

The Sanskrit word for “dawn” is Prabha’t. In many people’s opinion, Prabha’ta Sam’giita marks the glorious and sublime dawn of a new era in the realm of music and culture. For this reason also, this school of music known as Prabha’ta Sam’giita.
