We will Raise Ourselves, We will Raise Humanity!

We will Raise Ourselves, We will Raise Humanity!
Commemorating the Golden Jubliee of Conversion and Dhamma Deeksha Movement of Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar

On Ashok Vijaydashmi 2006 we are completing the 50 yrs. of the world famous historical conversion to Buddhism. We are also celebrating 2550 yrs. of Buddha- Dhamma and 23rd Birth -Centenary of Samrat Ashoka the great this year. A sea of Humanity (aprox. 2.5 Million) renounced the spirit of inequality, the inhumane Hinduism (a religion of Brahmins based on infallibility of shastras) and embraced the path of Equality-Liberty-Fraternity-Justice, of prosperity and humanhood from 14th Oct. 1956 to 6th December 1956 under the leadership and guidance of our liberator Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar.

This was the biggest ever Religious and Cultural Revolution in the history of mankind. The revolution was to free the untouchables, shudras and others from the tharldom of the Brahminal Social order (BSO) based on Varna and Caste. The Dhamma Kranti based on Pradnya-Shila-Karuna aims at the reconstruction of the Indian Society based on Equality-Liberty-Fraternity-Justice. We have already adopted 1 man 1 vote by virtue of our Parliamentary Democracy, now we should aim at 1 man 1 value in all walks of Life = Prabuddha Bharat. Not only Buddha’s path shown by Dr. Ambedkar can achieve Social Democracy in India; but Buddhist Communism can also show the world the path of Economic Democracy in this era of Globalization.

The 1st World adopting unbridled materialism and individualism can also find mental peace and world harmony in Buddha’s Bahujan Hitay Bahujan Sukhay! The problems of racism, terrorism, naxalism, ethnicity can also be solved by establishing right relationship between man and man by the Noble Eight Fold Path. In all, Buddha’s Dhamma offers “solution” to all “Dukkha” of Mankind. This is the vision we have to share on the Golden Jubilee of Dhamma Deeksha, 2550 yrs. of Buddha Dhamma and 23rd birth centenary of Samrat Ashoka the Great. The vision is from Prabuddha Bharat to Prabuddha World. This would however require a strong commitment to raise ourselves to raise humanity.

Let the Humanity practise Dhamma; Sabbe Satta Sukhi Hontu !

Let all Beings be Happy!
Let all Beings be Happy!!
Let all Beings be Happy!!!

Jai Bhim ! Jai Prabuddha Bharat !!
