BLOG BY INDEPENDENT THINKER MR. PRASHANT SHETTY

I laud your efforts to establish casteless Hindu society, impart knowledge to deprived sections and achieve equality among them through your foundation.

It is easier said than done. You can achieve your goal through small local temples and their priests. Your gurukul starts from here. Priests may be of any caste. Priests will mingle with devotees, rich & poor, Brahmin & SC, become their guide and lead a once-a-day mass prarthana session of Ram Raksha Stotra in Sanskrit. It is quite possible that some poor children are not able to go to regular government schools. For such students, the priest should offer gurukul education similar to how madrasas operate in some places.

Daily reading this stotra itself is a starting point of education for the masses in a gurukul way. The priest will address devotees once a week for 10 minutes and talk about casteless Hinduism, helping each other, equality among masses, and the need for gurukul education.

On your part, you should represent before state governments for a monthly honorarium package for your member priests who also act as teachers for gurukuls, similar to how some state governments offer stipends to maulanas.

If I and the general public are interested in joining your foundation, the way should be like this:
I will select one small temple management and its priest and request them to start these classes. But without compensation, these poor priests will not be able to start. Hence, I will offer ₹2,500/- monthly compensation to the priest for doing this service and, if required, also offer ₹2,500/- to another devotee of the temple who can canvass and bring people and children to the daily classes. With a ₹2,500/- or ₹5,000/- budget, we can organize and educate at least 50 people.

By this voluntary contribution, I will get satisfaction that I am paying back to society for their education.

Let us join hands to make Bharat great again.
