Description

झालिया दर्शन
लाभली स्फूर्ती - समाधान! ज्ञान प्रबोधिनीच्या सुवर्ण महोत्सवानिमित्त २०१२-१३ या वर्षात अनेक पुस्तकं प्रकाशित होत आहेत. 'झालिया दर्शन' हे पुस्तक त्यात आपल्या वैशिष्ट्याने उठून दिसेल. ज्ञान प्रबोधिनीच्या अंबाजोगाई केंद्राचे प्रमुख श्री. प्रसाद चिक्षे यांना त्यांच्या सामाजिक कार्यात भेटलेल्या व्यक्ती आणि आलेले अनुभव यांच हे प्रांजल, मन-बुद्धीला थेट भिडणारं, अंतर्मुख करणारं आणि कृतीचीही प्रेरणा देणारं असं कथन आहे. कार्यकर्त्यांनी अशा प्रकारे अनुभव लिहिले पाहिजेत असं वाटतं कारण समान धर्मी कार्यकर्त्यांना त्यात ओळखीचे सूर भेटतात, दिलासा वाटतो. काही प्रसंगात या जागी आपण असतो तर काय केलं असतं असा विचार होतो. एकून वाचकांसाठीही ती एका वेगळ्या जगाची ओळख असते. आजच्या काळातही पैशाला सर्वस्व न मानणारे, मूल्यांची जपणूक करणारे आणि मनुष्याचा विकास, समाजाचा विकास हे ध्येय धरून काम करणारे कोणी वेडे लोक असू शकतात ही वाचकांना चकित करणारी पण आनंद देणारी गोष्ट असते. 'दर्शन' या शब्दावर सुंदर भाष्य प्रसाद चिक्षे यांनी केलं आहे. त्यांना घडलेल्या व्यक्तींच्या दर्शनात त्यांचं बाह्यरूप, अंतरंग, त्यांच्या लकबी, अडचणींशी टक्कर घेणारी जयिष्णु वृत्ती अशी सर्व अंग आहेत. त्यामुळे प्रत्यक्षातल्या या व्यक्ती शब्दांमकधून जिवंतपणे आल्याला सुद्धा दर्शन देतात. परंतु ही केवळ व्यक्तिचित्रं नव्हेत. प्रसंगातून प्रसाद दादा आपलं चिंतनही मांडत असतात. ते महत्त्वाचं आहे.

About the Author

Mr.Prasad was born in Ambajogai in 1971. His dad was an engineer and his mom, a teacher. He lost his dad at the age of 3. Being raised by a single mother, her strength and sensitivity had a great influence on his development as a person. He was a troublesome student who struggled in middle school. One of his most vivid memories from those times is watching his mother cry when he performed poorly in his exams. Beyond any reproach, it was the love and respect for her that instilled in him the need for integrity in his words and diligence in his actions – both of which have been key self-measures in all his life choices.

His academics took a positive turn after he switched schools, and he went on to study engineering at College of Engineering, Pune. It was there that he was inspired by Dr.Vivek Kulkarni, a teacher at Jnana Prabodhini, a social organization with a mission to motivate intelligence for social change in India. Under the guidance of Dr. Vivek Kulkarni, he became active member of a group named “Prachiti” through which he was involved in activities such as teaching at a “sakhar-shala” (literally, sugar-school).

After the 1993 Latur earthquake, the crater at the epicenter of which remains to date, Mr.Prasad volunteered at a relief event. At this event, he was asked to work with Shri Anna Hazare. After this initial acquaintance, he served as Anna’s personal assistant at his hunger strike against corruption at Alandi, translating for him and communicating with his aides. In his interactions with Shri Anna Hazare, he was awed by Anna’s composure and competence. When he asked Anna the secret behind his abilities and attitude, Anna advised him to study the teachings of Vivekananda.

Mr.Prasad didn’t just get a book on Vivekananda and read his philosophy, as one may reasonably expect. Instead, he joined Vivekananda Kendra and spent 5 years in Kanyakumari imbibing the teachings of Vivekananda. He describes his experience as being remade inside out – recognizing a self beyond the ego. He was posted to work in the remotest areas of Arunachal Pradesh on various rural development and education initiatives of Vivekananda Kendra. Today, over 20,000 students from 60+ schools receive culturally-grounded education in the Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalayas (VKVs) of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland and Andaman.

His experience here led to him being appointed as an Education Officer at the age of 25, in charge of 22 schools of Vivekananda Kendra in Arunachal Pradesh. In 1998, he worked as a member of the team at Defense Research Lab, Tezpur, Assam under Dr. Abdul Kalam’s India Vision 2020 Project.

In the words of Eknathji Ranade, founder of Vivekananda Kendra, “An aggregate or a congregation of men does not make a nation, nor do the geographical area and duration of time a society is known as a nation. All the constituents [need to] strive collectively for something noble. Service with a spiritual orientation results in man-making which is invariably and inseparably connected with nation-building.” These dual goals of man-making and nation-building struck a chord with Mr.Prasad and have guided his career direction since then.

Mr.Prasad now leads Jnana Prabodhini’s Ambajogai extension center, which was started in 1999 with a focus on holistic rural development and early childhood education. He mentors multiple village teams to participate in water conservation projects, and encourage residents to take ownership of their lands and responsibility for their livelihoods.

Mr.Prasad served as Project Udaan‘s Beed district coordinator, helping Save Indian Farmers educate villagers about irrigation techniques using the Paani Foundation Android app. He also oversees how the tablets that were distributed are used by teachers in schools of the area to bring relevant content to learners.
