Sarvadarshi Editor Special - ABMM 29th Akhil Bharata Madhwa Tatwajnana Sammelana Sept 2022

 What is that Madhwa society looking forward to next?

The common Madhwa always looks beyond just having a temple, matha, and Parampara, to drive the next generations along its core Dharma principles. In the last few decades, Madhwa Samaja has once again stood up to the scale of the situation after losing all its farms under the Tenant Act of 1969. Society now has produced a large number of honest Engineers, Doctors, and business owners, renovated temples, matha, and Go-shalas. 

    Now, the focus shifts toward growing to the next level from another stable foundation built till 2020. At present, any social event, festival, or Aradhana is being conducted on any required scale with the power of youth, willingness, and money back up. This has become now an experience for each & everyone and does not now need any innovation. This also is not a status or differentiation factor among different temples, matha, or groups. What is making more difference to the young generation and probably the next generation is what we all need to think from now.

    It is the right time that we now look forward to 'Talent/Next Generation/Unity/Knowledge research' areas. We have to build a platform where the next generation does not just witness but participates in Dharma. Provide approaches through which girls, boys, rich or poor madhwa adopt dharma and make their life better. In stressful life like today, younger, learned, and earned people are tending towards Dharma and rituals. These types of people cannot be made happy by giving them Teerth-Prasada(of course that is holy) or inviting them to Aradhana's or mega-events. Why they are not attracted to it? The answer is simple, "What is my role in such events or What am I going to do there as I don't have any space for me". 

    "यद् भावं तद् भवति" - as a community around 1956 time frame when Sri Satyadhyana Vidyapeetha in Mumbai, Sri Poornaprajna Vidyapeeth, Bangalore started with the holy aim of creating Madhwa scholars through certification of Srimanyaya Sudha vidwat qualification the community started seeing thousands of scholars being created. These scholars have done a tremendous job in rebuilding establishments, reaching to common person for vaidika paatha, jnana Karya, etc. They are a valuable addition to society thus forever. This proves that "यद् भावं तद् भवति" as we got to focus to produce results we got the results. So, in the coming days we are required to rely on this and try to create the holy aim of attracting young and the next generations to dharma, unite madhwas and build platforms that will help the madhwa community, healthcare, education, etc.

    

These demands are not new to society but they are there for a long. All we have to say is it is the right time to take them up and focus more on them.

One such major thing that is happening today is "Akhil Bharat Madhwa Tatwajnana Sammelana" in the Dharwad-Hubli area. Dharwad-Hubli is not just Kannada Sahitya Roots, but also are Dasa Sahitya, and Vyasa Sahitya roots. Such events provide a platform for a large number of thinkers to provide their demands to the community, to various mathas, and also saints we have. These types of platforms help young, people who are away from Dharmik activities to move towards Dharmik activities as they have a "role to play here".

Let us come and witness this great event and be part of it, also create more such platforms where people have forums for:

1. Debates
2. Talk about burning issues
3. Madhwa unity
4. Madhwa social welfare
5. Education, Healthcare, and Marriage type supports
6. Bring Dharmki Shradha frameworks into people's minds
7. Create next-generation assets(books, comics, videos, films ) to consume to get true learnings of madhwa tatwa.

Last but not least: Make people aware of what it really means "Being a Madhwa to the world" & "What good things a madhwa can do for the entire world"
