CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A Vyasa Puja ceremony was organized at Madhya Pradesh Bhoj Open University, Bhopal under the joint aegis of the Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal (Madhya Bharat Region) and the University.

The program began with Megh Shyam, Vice President of Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal (Madhya Pradesh), who introduced the organization’s mission shloka and its objectives.

While addressing the gathering, Dr. H. B. Gupta, President of Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal (Madhya Bharat Region), stated that the organization was established in 1979 as an intellectual and ideological movement. He emphasized that they aim to integrate Indian knowledge traditions into student curricula.

Dr. Gupta highlighted that Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal played a pivotal role in the formulation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, being involved from start to finish. Over 70% of the academic content for NEP was developed by the Mandal itself.

The organization also works in the field of academic research and is committed to uplifting the standard of Indian education.

He further stated, “Today, the entire world recognizes India as a Vishwaguru (global teacher), and the International Yoga Day stands as a testimony to that.”

Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal also focuses on publishing books based on India’s knowledge heritage, and Dr. Gupta urged the teachers present to join the organization and contribute to this mission.

Speaking on the occasion of Vyasa Puja, Dr. Gupta emphasized the importance of the Guru-Shishya tradition, which has existed in India since ancient times. Just as Lord Brahma created the universe, he said, a guru shapes and refines the character and abilities of students.

He elaborated on the unique features of the Indian Gurukul tradition, noting that one must surrender to a guru to gain true knowledge and skills.

Dr. Gupta stated that the Vyasa Puja program is celebrated by Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Maharishi Ved Vyasa, the great sage who composed the four Vedas, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita, 18 Puranas, and the Upanishads.

The event was coordinated by Professor Ratan Suryavanshi, Director of the Student Support Division of Bhoj Open University, and the vote of thanks was delivered by Nitin Sangle, Acting Registrar of the University.
