RJS PBH CONCLUDES NATIONAL VAN MAHOTSAV WITH URGENT CALL FOR CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND YOUTH INTEGRATION
RJS PBH PARIVAR PAID TRIBUTE TO LATE KRISHNA LAL ARORA IN 599TH WEBINAR. PROGRAM WAS CO-ORGANISED BY HIS DAUGHTER-IN- LAW NEETI ARORA.
NEW DELHI -- The Ram Janaki Sansthan Positive Broadcasting House (RJS PBH) formally concluded its week-long National Van Mahotsav observance on July 8, utilizing the platform to issue sweeping calls for mandatory corporate environmental accountability, the spiritual rehabilitation of modern youth, and a return to foundational family structures.
RJS Parivar remembered Former central Minister Kanhaiya Lal Munshi who started Van Mahotsav in India in 1950.
Hosted by Uday Kumar Manna, the extensive virtual summit transcended traditional ecological rhetoric, framing environmental degradation as a direct symptom of societal moral decay and unchecked economic ambition.
The event served a dual purpose, acting as a memorial tribute to the late Shri Krishan Lal Arora, a noted nature enthusiast from New Rajendra Nagar, Delhi. Organized by his daughter-in-law, Neeti Arora, a software engineer and active RJS PBH participant, the memorial underscored the summit's central thesis: environmental preservation begins with familial inheritance and intergenerational values.
The economic and political dimensions of environmental neglect dominated the mid-section of the summit. Rajesh Sharma, founder of the Prakriti Bhakt Foundation, delivered a sharp critique of the current global economic trajectory, noting that ninety-five percent of societal focus is consumed by relentless financial development at the expense of ecological survival. Sharma proposed a radical shift in corporate compliance, urging policymakers to mandate that factory owners and heavy polluters allocate specific land banks for mandatory afforestation to offset their industrial footprint. He argued that human survival cannot rely solely on infrastructure, warning that ignoring the "religion of nature" is humanity's greatest tragedy.
Uday Kumar Manna expanded on this political critique, directly challenging governmental apathy regarding the pollution of the Yamuna and Ganga rivers. Manna observed a systemic democratic failure, stating that because environmental clean-ups, education, and health do not function as primary voting issues, political administrations consistently bypass these moral duties. He appealed directly to legislative bodies, urging them to adopt a positive, legacy-driven approach to governance rather than focusing merely on temporary infrastructural or religious optics that fail to address the core survival needs of the population, such as clean oxygen and water.
The societal implications of technology and the psychological distancing of the younger generation formed the core of the summit's spiritual discourse. Swami Parmanand Dwivedi, Zone Coordinator of the All World Gayatri Pariwar at Shantikunj, identified a dangerous imbalance in modern society where materialism has outpaced spiritual development. He introduced the concept of "digital fasting," urging families to enforce strict boundaries around technology, particularly in the morning. By withholding mobile phone usage until daily prayers and meditation are completed, Dwivedi argued that individuals can cleanse their subconscious minds of the negativity bred by mainstream social media algorithms.
The dialogue deepened during a robust question-and-answer session that addressed the practical integration of these philosophical ideals into daily urban life.
Neeti Arora questioned the panel on how to effectively connect a tech-obsessed youth demographic with spirituality and environmental consciousness when they are largely disconnected from traditional literature. Swami Parmanand Dwivedi responded that the burden lies heavily on the family unit, which has outsourced its foundational duties to social media. He advocated for the reinstatement of mandatory weekly family gatherings where open dialogue is encouraged, ensuring that youths do not feel isolated. On behalf of BK Rajeshree of the Brahma Kumaris in East Patel Nagar BK Reino Behan added that the youth cannot be reformed through lectures; they require living examples. She noted that the modern addiction to criticizing others is as toxic as substance abuse, and parents must model positive behavior if they expect their children to adopt it.
Sweety Paul, a former senior manager at Bharat Mandapam, raised critical concerns regarding the fading tradition of daily household rituals and the overwhelming burden placed on women. When Paul asked how families could revive daily spiritual practices amidst fast-paced urban lives, Dwivedi recommended the "Nano Yagya" or "Deep Yagya." He explained that traditional, time-consuming rituals can be condensed into brief, meaningful practices, such as lighting a lamp and taking a daily vow to abandon one negative trait while adopting a positive one.
Paul also sparked a poignant discussion on gender dynamics, asking when women, who spend their lives serving parents, husbands, and children, should practice self-love and self-care. Dwivedi responded by framing the matriarch as the axis of the family, suggesting that while a woman's fulfillment is deeply intertwined with her family's well-being, authentic self-love is achieved through spiritual refinement and ensuring she is not alienated from her own internal peace.
The underlying theme of the summit was the undeniable link between human thought and the physical environment. BK Reino Behan emphasized that planting trees is futile if the surrounding human environment is saturated with negative vibrations. She argued that the root cause of nature's current hostility toward humanity is the collective psychological pollution generated by society. According to Rajeshree, nature reacts to the intentions and vibrations of the people inhabiting it, requiring humans to actively project positive thoughts toward the environment to restore ecological balance.
Looking toward actionable outcomes, Uday Kumar Manna announced several upcoming initiatives under the RJS PBH banner. To combat the rising need for medical resources, a nationwide social media pledge for blood donation awareness will launch on July 24, aimed at mobilizing the youth. Furthermore, the organization will release its monthly newsletter on July 31, which will document grassroots tree-planting efforts by RJS PBH members, including videos and photographs to inspire wider participation.
The summit will culminate in a major on-ground event on August 7 at the Delhi Metropolitan Education Institute in Sector 62, Noida. Hosted in collaboration with Uday Shankar Singh Kushwaha, the RJS Positive Branch In-charge for Noida, the event will gather over 125 youths. This gathering will feature the launch of the seventh edition of the RJS Positive Media book, a documentation of the organization's eleven-year journey in fostering a positive societal narrative. The initiative aligns with a broader vision extending to 2047, aiming to archive the positive history of the nation through continuous documentation and youth engagement.
The Van Mahotsav closing ceremony ended with Neeti Arora delivering a heartfelt vote of thanks, expressing gratitude for the platform to honor her father-in-law's environmental legacy. The summit successfully synthesized the urgent need for ecological restoration with the revival of traditional family rituals, positioning the Ram Janaki Sansthan Positive Broadcasting House as a critical voice demanding holistic, systemic change across India's economic, political, and spiritual landscapes.
