The handout in gujaraati from the three samaajo is included herewith in its
original print format.
The following is the English equivalent of the handout is included
herewith for those who are not well versed in gujaraati.....we did not wish
anybody to miss the prajaapati spirit in every word of the message.
SUGNA GNATI-JANO : (knowledgeable, well-informed, well-versed,
learned, judicious, wise, patient and forbearing members of the tribe
(prajaapati):
It is our prayers that the new year be fruitful to all of you in all your fields
of endeavours. The three organizations - "shree
navayug prajaapati samaaj baardoli", "shree surat jillaa
prajaapati samaaj" and "shree
prajaapati samaaj samuh lagna samiti" - based on mutual
co-operation, is making this proposal regarding social programs which would be
beneficial to our samaaj. In the new year, let all of us resolve to
be full and equal participants in all these social programs and to showcase the
path leading to progress and prosperity in our samaaj. And for that let
us all resolve to donate the whole of ourselves in forming the greatest unity
among us. We must endeavour to bring unity in prajaapati samaaj, we must
endeavour to make advances in educational and social fields, and we must
endeavour to ensure prosperity for our future generations. Therefore, let us
look at such social programs and services that are being performed by these
three
organizations.
navayug prajaapati samaaj
has made the Cultural Centre building
a reality in baardoli. But for the
operation of this Navayug Cultural Centre large
amount of funds are still urgently required for the purchase of the internal
furnishings . These include the ceremonial platform for marriage functions,
mattresses, kitchenware, banquette serving hardware, chairs, etc. We are
expecting your help in realizing these funds and furnishings. The operators of
this Navayug Cultural Centre are also
worried about the funds for purchase of the additional lands.
navayug prajaapati samaj organizes and manages all the samaaj programs
and services with an intent to serve equally all prajaapatio.
Education fund is collected through navayug
prajaapati samaaj. Out of this education fund notebooks are
provided to students who cannot afford them. Also this education fund is used to
recognize and appreciate those students who shine like stars by succeeding in
board matriculation examinations. There are many request from bright and
deserving students for financial assistance to pursue higher education at
university levels. But we have not been able to offer any assistance in this
regard due to lack of funds. We humbly request generous contributions from
donors who wish to make this higher education possible in our children and
especially knowledge as employable education. Our representative
shree bhagubhai chhitubhai prajaapati travels around to all
villages for fund-raising for education. We humbly request you to help him in
his efforts. We also humbly request you to donate to this education fund.
We must ensure that our children do not lack computer education. Nowadays the
computer education is needed in all aspects of education. Thus, presently at Navayug
Cultural Centre computers are provided. Therfore, it is important
that more and more of our samaaj children take advantage of this computer
education.
samuh lagna samiti annually
organizes samuh lagna and also "pasandagi
melo" (literally self-selection fair) where prospective prajaapatio
looking for marriage partners can meet. In prajaapati samaaj we have many
concerns about how prospective young men and women should find their marriage
partners. We request you humbly to give your support by participating in the "pasandagi
melo" and thus help us all to remove the concerns prevailing
in the methodology to find marriage partners. It will be beneficial to our samaaj
if more couples would participate in samuh lagna;
thereby saving ourselves from the unnecessary wastage of money in performing
individual marriages. Presently kanyaa-daan
from donors is taken on the day of samuh lagna. Instead, kanyaa-daan
donations in advance is more convenient. If more of our samaaj members
participate in this samuh lagna then we would be able to reduce marriage
costs further. Therefore, we humbly request all to co-operate with and assist
the samuh lagna samiti.
Under the banner of shree surat jillaa
prajaapati samaj, all prajaapatio can unite and cultivate mutual
co-operation as one collective membership. This way we can undertake to render
efficiently samaaj programs and services that are needed by
us all. We have to be in tune with the changing times. But for this it is
necessary for us to maintain a collective unity among us. We must be responsible
for our own progress and prosperity. For this we must also create the necessary
treasury and provide mutual assistance therefrom. A
conference of the entire surat jillaa prajaapatio
is being planned for the near future through shree
surat jillaa prajaapati samaaj. It is expected that you all will
co-operate to make a success of this conference by your presence at the
conference.
We are:
shree navayug prajaapati samaaj bardoli
shree surat jillaa prajaapati samaaj
shree prajaapati samaaj samuh lagna samiti
(The above English equivalent of the handout was
developed by shree champaklal dajibhai mistry of Edmonton, Canada. He is a
volunteer leader for Gujarat Education Fund and web site and social program
development for Prajaapati Vishva Ashram. We all pray for bhagvaan's blessings
on shree champaklal and his continuing sevaa on this international platform
called Prajaapati Vishva Ashram since its inception in 1997.)
