Jijau Maa Saheb Jayanti and Swami Vivekananda Jayanti : 12th January 2022


The Library and Information Centre of Progressive Education Society’s Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce (Autonomous), Shivajinagar, Pune-5 celebrated the Birth Anniversaries of Jijau Maa Saheb and Swami Vivekanand on 12.01.2022. Respected Principal Dr.Rajendra S. Zunjarrao Sir, College Librarian Dr.Shantashree Sengupta, and Library Staff paid their respect to Jijau Maa Saheb and Swami Vivekanand.
Principal Sir briefly addressed the great contributions of Jijau Maa Saheb who was known to be an influential and determined woman. Jijau Maa Saheb was an embodiment of self-respect and virtue. Famed for her foresight, Jijabai was herself an able warrior and administrator. She passed down her quality traits to the growing Shivaji and instilled within him a sense of duty, courage, and fortitude to overcome any hardship arising. Under her guidance and care, Shivaji Maharaj developed within him a human touch that saw him harbor great respect for all women, religious tolerance, and justice, along with the love for his country, his religion, and his quest for freedom of Maharashtra. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj owes his greatness to the inspiration of his mother who dedicated her life to bringing up her son to become one of the greatest rulers of the Maratha Empire.
Swami Vivekananda, was an Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna Paramhans. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world. His vast knowledge of Eastern and Western culture, as well as his deep spiritual insight, fervid eloquence, brilliant conversation, broad human sympathy, made an irresistible appeal to the people in contact with him, who heard him and read about him. He is best known in the World for his groundbreaking speech to the 1893 World’s Parliament of Religions in which he introduced Hinduism to America and called for religious tolerance and an end to fanaticism. National Youth Day is being celebrated every year to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand.
All the rules of physical distancing were followed during the program. I am thankful to the library staff members who were present during the program.
