Samaj Darshan: Understanding Solapur’s Railway System

Samaj Darshan: Understanding Solapur’s Railway System Every year, we at Jnana Prabodhini, Solapur, conduct the Samaj Darshan initiative—an experiential learning programme designed to help students know their society, understand real systems, and connect with culture, heritage, and civic life. The objective of Samaj Darshan is to help students observe, explore, and understand their immediate surroundings and societal systems, fostering awareness, inquiry, and a sense of responsibility towards society. While planning this year’s edition, a question guided us: How can we help students truly connect classroom learning with the functioning of the real world? The answer lay right around us—in the very tracks that run through our city. In 2024, we chose to focus on Solapur’s Railway System, a living example of civic structure, human coordination, and nation-building in action. Why Understanding Systems in the Functioning of Society is important Modern society operates through a ne...

  Vande Guru Parampara Guru Purnima – Honouring Our Gurus, Upholding the Tradition इमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोत्कवानहमव्ययम् । विवस्वान् मनवे प्राह मनुरिक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत । । (४-१) In the Bhagavad Gita, while advising Arjuna, Lord Krishna gives an example of the tradition of knowledge. He says, “I imparted this indestructible Yoga to the Sun (Vivasvan), who passed it on to Manu, and Manu, in turn, passed it on to Ikshvaku.” In the Indian tradition, whenever new knowledge or philosophy is presented, the legacy of the Guru's tradition is also acknowledged—because knowledge flourishes only when its lineage is preserved and passed on. Jnana Prabodhini has accepted four great personalities—Samarth Ramdas, Swami Dayananda, Swami Vivekananda, and Yogi Arvind—as its visionaries, and pathfinders who have shaped Jnana Prabodhini ideals and direction. Today, let us learn about Samarth Ramdas. The poet Vaman Pandit praises him with the following verse. शुकासारखे पूर्ण वैराग्य ज्याचे...
