Namaste, Pious Gudhi Padhwa, Pious Nav Samvatsara and Pious Ugaadi. Hinduism celebrates the creation of the Universe on this day. अयं बन्धुरयं नेति गणना लघुचेतसाम् । उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् ॥ भावाभावविनिर्मुक्तं Ayam bandhurayam neti gananaa laghu chetasaam. udaaracharitaanaam tu vasudheiva kutumbakam. जरामरणवर्जितम् । प्रशान्तकलनारभ्यं नीरागं पदमाश्रय ॥ एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितिः स्वच्छा निष्कामा Bhava bhaavavinirmuktam jaraamarana varjitam | prashaanta kalanaarbhyam neeraagam padamashraya || esha brahmi sthitih svachhaa nishkaamaa. विगतामया । आदाय विहरन्नेवं सङ्कटेषु न मुह्यति ॥ One is a relative, the other stranger, say the small minded. The entire world is a family, live the magnanimous. Be detached, be magnanimous, lift up your mind, enjoy the fruit of Brahmanic freedom. —Maha Upanishad 6.71–75 In a world consumed by hatred, with hinduism gangrened by the portuguese introduction of caste (Casta in portuguese means social class), the above verse from Mahopnishad reminds us that every human is related, and that it is only small-minded people that differentiate on "us" and "them". Please keep sharing friends. We are at 660 signatures and need half that amount to reach our next milestone of 1000. Once we 1000 signatures I will personally deliver the petition to the Minister of Education and Human Resources, Tertiary Education and Scientific Research, Leela Devi Dookun-Luchoomun. At every new milestone I will personally deliver a copy of all signatories to pass the message that Mauritians are impatient to have the facilities to learn Sanskrit made readily available, in all schools. I hope you are all with me on this. Please share the link on any social platform you can.. facebook, twitter, hi5, snapchat, myspace, badoo, even Tinder, if you think it can make a difference :-) https://www.change.org/p/hon-minister-of-education-mrs-leela-devi-dookun-luchoomun-introduce-sanskrit-in-all-mauritian-schools/ Namaste(The divinity in me bows to and pays respect to the divinity within you) -Arvind.
