| We need education that can fulfill the societal needs of creating honest people, complete people, great people; and that will lead to manifestation of divinity in mankind.
What Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya needs and How you can help?
The progress of any nation is dependent on the fully developed personality of its citizens, of which youth comprise a significant proportion. The personality of the young generation is highly influenced by education. However, worldwide, the current education system is not structured to develop the personality of students, and does not guide them towards a purposeful track in life through which they can live happily and peacefully as well as be competent enough to fight difficulties. In the olden times, universities such as Nalanda and Takshashila (ancient Indian Universities) accomplished the task of guiding students in the right direction by imparting spiritual knowledge on a practical basis, that is, how ideals can be incorporated in personality considering the prevalent trends in the society.
Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya will realize the above task by reviving the rishi (saint) tradition. Universities founded by saints in ancient India had been the centers for the propagation of the Divine Indian Culture through which cultural values enjoyed a global outreach. In these universities both the masters and disciples practiced a life dedicated to cultural values. Students at the Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya will be inspired to live an austere, ascetic life conforming to ideals. Usual lifestyle is besieged by various unwanted habits and tendencies, which motivate actions onto a path opposite to desired aims. Such actions ultimately bring remorse at the awakening of wisdom and self-analysis. However difficulties never overpower a person whose life is surrounded by strict disciplines. He never feels depressed by the obstacles of time; rather, he overcomes them effectively. Students will be inspired, in part, by teachers who themselves would be living ascetic lives.
Why should I contribute any resource for Spiritually oriented University?
-
because this University will be a unique center for providing a global outreach for the Divine Indian Culture. -
because this will be center for creation of divine individuals that will lead to ideal personalities, ideal families and ideal societies. -
because like "Raja Mahendrapratap Prem Mahavidyalaya" (Vrindavan) and "Kashi Vidyapeeth", this university will churn out individuals who will serve the society, serve the country and serve the humankind. -
because this University will resurrect the Ancient Knowledge from the Rishi Tradition that is currently unknown and inaccessible. -
because this will be an example to the world of the principle of "Vasudhaev Kutumbakam" (The whole world is my family), through the principles of equality of mankind, equality of gender creed. -
because this University has a firm resolution to meet the challenges of the era through its academics syllabus and research schemes. Teachers and students will propose genuine solutions to global problems like ecological imbalances, physical and mental health problems, cultural devaluation and collapse of the family system, etc. because this University will teach the proper use of the herbs and medicinal plants abundant in the divine land of Uttaranchal (Uttarakhand). How can I contribute?
To realize all of the above appropriate funds will be needed at the earliest. The existing land for the university was bought four years ago at a cost of Rs 4 crores. Five times more land has to be acquired, the whole complex will cost around Rs 15 crores. Only after this land has been acquired will the project move towards its completion. The complete details of the estimated cost over a period of ten years are as follows:
-
Rs 1980 Lakhs: Land -
Rs 6065 Lakhs: Construction -
Rs 1000 Lakhs: Laboratory Equipment -
Rs 100 Lakhs: Library -
Rs 870 Lakhs: Furniture -
Rs 500 Lakhs: Electrical Fitting -
Rs 6000 Lakhs: Corpus This sums up to a total cost of around Rupees 166 crores for the whole project. Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya seeks contribution from individuals who support its mission and want to be part of this divine project. The Government of India, inspired by the noble mission of the university, has granted 100% income tax rebate under the provision 35 AC through notification no. 0915(E) dated 27-08-2002.
