Role of Patanjali in Welfare of society

Role of  Patanjali in  Welfare of society

Dr. Chandra Bahadur Thapa   
Lawyer and Legal Advisor, Patanjali Group

 In the rise and fall of any nation, conduct, behavior, present leadership for the future generation and the guidelines from the intellectuals are very crucial. Similarly, in the united India or Vrihad Bharat sages, Gurukul played a vital role in deciding who will be the king or who will occupy the throne. For example in Ramayan era, it had become necessary to destroy demons led by Ravan and for this purpose Maharshi Vishwamitra selected Ram and Lakshman, the sons of emperor Dasrath of Ayodhya and the two youth had divine qualities and they were considered by the sage able to protect sages, protect yagyas and ethos of Vedas and Vedic traditions and in the guidance of maharshi Vishwamitra the two princes discharged their duties very well and they were guided and given weapons to destroy demons. This all was done by a sage and Lord Ram got qualities to become a great emperor and this way his rule was termed as Ram Rajya. 

Society and ideology

Society is a system based on the mutual relations of the people. It does not have any concrete form or shape. Its concept is based on experience. Its members understand and recognize the existence and status of each other. It is such a collection of people that in which they are tied in a definite relation and by the means of specific behavior they are associated with each other. And by getting to be organized they develop various types of standards and some of them are acceptable and some of them are not acceptable. Perhaps people of every group in comparison to the human inside them have better relations developed with others. And people of same communities show love and affection for each other. All the societies of the world have their different identities and their traditions are also different. This way a society makes a province and provinces make a nation.
Ancient greater India was spread upto far east Asia upto Java, Sumatra and Bali, Indonesia and Tibet, South Sri Lanka, Shyamdesh or Thailand which was then called Shyam Desh and a Hindu whether he is from any part of the world he chants while offering prayers- Jambu Dwipe, Bharat Khande, Aryavarte and this way people offer holy water in the feet of God. And today’s India is comparatively very small than that.   
There has been a tradition of social development as it has got to be a continuous process which is moving in the direction of the aspirations of the members. And it is guided in that direction. In the phase of transition, the efforts of the members and their accent and the tradition from novelty to being adapted it remains active. The activities of the society keep them associated and in course of time due to various reasons the mutual misunderstanding in the society or temptation in the society, invitations, or aggrations lead to the defeat of the society and the reason could be different. Or they could be against the society. This way society keeps getting associated and dissociated. For example from sixteenth chapter of Srimadbhagwad Geeta there have been two powers – Divine and Demon powers. In today’s terms they are atheist and theists. 

Knowledge, Education and Ideology

The meaning of modern education and ancient Indian knowledge are different and it is the fact that modern education is concerned with materialistic prosperity progress development and this knowledge that is confined to being able to write letters getting to know the information from books Collection of information getting good marks and higher degrees and Modern Education has remained confined to physical and worldly pleasure achievement and ancient Indian knowledge and education was a Holistic package which made sure that the overall development of human being like spiritual development divine thinking and sacred means of life must be maintained for which religion modernism morality good conduct discipline and fraternity feeling were the various aspects of ancient Indian knowledge system therefore it has been well said that- 

Vidya Nam Narasya Roopam Dhikam Prachhannaguptam Dhanam l
Vidya Bhogkari Yashyah Sukhkari Vidya Gurunam Guruh ll
Vidya Bandhujano Videshgamane Vidya Param Daivatvam l
Vidya Pujyate Rajsu Na Hi Dhanam Vidyavihinah Pashuh ll

This means knowledge gives a man eloquence and it is a secret wealth which brings Fame and happiness and various pleasures of life and knowledge is the Guru of all Gurus because when we go to a new country then our knowledge helps us like ok brother and this knowledge is considered to be greater than any wealth in the world therefore the people who do not have knowledge are like animals.
On the contrary if a man who has got modern education but you like the ancient knowledge are officer insulted by illiterate people or less literate people like after becoming the chief executive of any company they are still under the owners and founders of the company and even after holding such a position in a company the people who have modern education are inserted by the owners and similarly senior officers who worked under illiterate politicians are also insulted by these politicians but if they might have had got ancient Treasure of knowledge then their position would have been quite different.
Vidvatwam Cha Nripatvam Naiva Tulyam kadachana l
Swadeshi Puja Raja vidwan sarvatra pujyate ll
This means Scholars and rulers can never be equal because a ruler or king is paid respect only within the borders of his country but a scholar is given respective everywhere in the world.
Modern system of education basically puts stress on materialistic wealth and achievements due to which majority of people who have got such education are still getting insulted and being unemployed and depending upon others work livelihood and they are trapped by illiterate and corrupt politicians and such people who have got Modern Education live in depression and in many cases they commit suicide. But those who have got the wealth of ancient and traditional education they are trained to tackle all types of adverse circumstances they are always found to be engaged in various kinds of activities and they start every work by remembering the almighty in their lives.
Even though they are poor they know how to live in such adverse economical condition.
Vidya dadati vinayam Vineyard dati Patra Patra dhanyvad Parvati Dharm tatha sukham ll

This means knowledge brings models team and modesty makes us qualified and our qualification brings wealth and wealth brings pleasure of life.

Indian tradition of the Welfare of everyone in the society

Ancient Indian system based on the knowledge of Vedas was beyond the purview of materialism and it had focus on the purity of our soul and it was also concerned with Railways of time which also included the training of arms and weapons besides scientific research which field students with lots of confidence therefore while staying at a Gurukul it was tried to make the whole education system inclusive and account was necessary to be maintained and since ancient time in India human culture and self upliftment was considered to be the means of social welfare of everyone in the society.

There have been to tendencies of human beings since ancient time for example
1.    Theist means one who has faith in God and according to to the description of Rig ved and Upanishad it has been said-
Ayam Nijah Paroveti Ganana Alagu Shetsam lU
dhar Charita Namantu Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam ll
It means this belongs to me and that belongs to others is the thinking of the people of small mentality but those who are generous for them the whole universe is like a family.
2.    Atheists are those people who don't believe in God and according to Charvak-
Yavajjivet Sukham Jivet Rinam Kritva Ghritam Pibet l
Bhasmibhutasya Dehasya Punaragamanam Kutah ll
This means as long as a person lives in the world he must live with full material pleasure for which it is allowed to take loan or do anything what he likes to do because one day this body will get destroyed and this life will never be given to us again which we will see whatever one wants to get he must get it at any cost maybe he has to take loan for this purpose and nobody should be concerned about heavenly abode because it after death this body will get destroyed forever and there is no scope for returning back to this world.
Those who live in public life for the Welfare of everyone in the society they get pleasure in helping the whole society and he dedicates himself completely for the welfare of everyone on the contrary in the western culture the main purpose of getting education has been confined to the welfare of an individual and it has hardly got to do with the welfare of others in the society and everyone wants to be at the journal of the society weather for that hi may might be required to destroy the whole society.
These are the two parallel thinking and they have been keep going on for example in ancient time like in the Treta era the time of Lord Rama and and his story Ramayan on one hand there was an inclusive ideology of Lord Ram for the society and on the contrary the demon King Ravana had the thing to get as much material pleasure as he could and secondly in proper error when the war of Mahabharata took place Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta Lord Krishna put a stress on social growth and inclusive ideology on the contrary his maternal uncle and his father in law Jarasandh his relatives like Duryodhan Shishupal had the tendency of materialistic pleasure and in the modern time Arya Samaj, Vaidik Sanatan, Rashtriy Swayamsevak Sangh, the organisations which have inclusive ideology and they are spreading the thoughts of world fraternity and social welfare and on the contrary those who follow the path of Quran and Hadees and followers of Prophet Mohammed and those who believe in the ideology of Karl Marx, Lenin and Mao Zedong of China, they all have been the followers of Marxism like Kim Jong Un of North Korea and XI jinping of China and those who changed the name of Prophet Muhammad and try to become the Khalifa of the world and Osama Bin Laden and Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey , etc. Are the people and similarly are the rulers of Afghanistan and Pakistan and the fighters of taleban.
After the Independence due to Modern education rulers on one hand talk about Quran and shariyat and while spitting the example of Islam the talk also about the class struggle and promote the ideology of communism socialism and Marxism and they unite as a group and those who try to oppose them are destroyed at these ideologies are similar to the ideology of charvaka who believed in material please there and it was to be gained at any cost while in India our Hindu Indian ancient system based on the teachings of Vedas Upanishad always promoted the idea of acceptance of the almighty in every living being which is the idea of Upanishad and with imagination of God the main thrust was on penance and gaining the knowledge of Dharma and Karma and getting away from materialistic pleasure so that one can easily attain salvation in life so that the Welfare of every individual could be ensured there has always been a continuous effort in this direction so that Welfare of the whole society would become possible and with this assistant was developed because it has been well said-
Om Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah l
Sarve Santu Niramayah l 
Sarve Bhadrani Pashyantu l
Makashchid Dukh Bhagbhavet l

This means everyone should be free from busy with everyone must have a pleasant life and nobody could get agony and pain similar thing has been said in Hindi as well which being fit everybody must be happy free from diseases everybody must the Welfare of other and follow the path of truth and prosperity and nobody could be in pain this is the prayer to the almighty.
Role of Patanjali group in social welfare in the fourth chapter of Bhagavad Gita in the 7th and 8th sloka Lord Krishna has said-
Yada Yada hi Dharmasya Glanir Bhavati Bharata Abhyutthanam Adharmasya Tadatmanam Srjamy Ham l 
Paritranaya Sadhunam Vinashaya Cha Dushkritam Dharma Samsthapanarthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge ll
Difference dharama is on decline and adharma is on the Rise I give birth to dose who love Dharma and such souls come on this planet Earth and I protect and help diseases who always think of the Welfare of the world and those who have bad deeds I destroy them and re-established Dharma and I have will doing this again and again since beginning.
From this incidents it appears that everywhere in India there has been disorder poverty corruption blind following of western culture and lifestyle and the society has been on decline ancient culture and tradition has been on decline and peoples conduct have always been on decline and people are self centric and scene with God has sent the two great souls in the form of respected Swami Ji Maharaj and respected Aacharya Balkrishna Ji Maharaj Leica medium has been centre on this earth so that decline of Dharma and rise of other could be prevented and people could become free from diseases poverty and corruption and the idea of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam could be promoted by the means of Patanjali which is an institute and have been working in this direction for a long time and initially it was like a field which is now turned out to be a fully developed banyan tree.

Direct indirect influence in the functioning of Patanjali and welfare of the society

After coming to existence for an individual society family country Nation World Institute prosperity saving, usefulness profit investment maximum profit minimum expenditure, expenditure on staff members and other related miscellaneous expenditure disciplinary actions and Management are the factors on which Everything depends and all these things appear in his functioning and the idea of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam brings prosperity for every individual and Society and makes sure the Welfare in every work and while moving ahead this philosophy is also applied on Patanjali institute.
The main purpose behind foundation of Patanjali institute had been in Welfare of the society and welfare of every individual and to serve the society due to which all the income and savings what is spent on the welfare of the society and various such activities therefore presenting the data in the form of account could be misleading and directly and indirectly for a very long time various kind of mathematical activities in words have been presented at Patanjali institute for welfare work due to which there could be some flaws in the system and this could be allowed.

Direct employment direct indirect human knowledge and experience are used

Patanjali group has its various organisations and institutes in many different parts of the world at different parts of the country where a large number of people have been working and they are regularly paid for their work and such people are accommodated in the business activities of Patanjali institute and this has been growing since long and at present this number has become in thousands.
From various branches and University Gurukul and institutes and various centres in different states of the country and various organisations Government and non government it is free and retired officials senior administrators teachers Scholars managers at iitians and great people they have all beam getting remuneration and their number is also in thousands.
There has to be self respect in every individual self respect and self dependency are experienced
