38. Another X’mas, Another Message




 
My college celebrated the x’mas season today (22 December 2011) as Communal  Harmony Day. Religious leaders representing the three main religions- Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, were the invited guests. The General Lecture Hall where the programme was conducted and the college corridor adorned a festive look.
Fr. Noble V. Jacob:
“ Remember ...rationality  has got its own limit...Try to be a human at least  for a minute...Its this,  which will save our  great nation...”
Imam Jamaluddin Mankada:
“ Today more and more students get educated...but, more and more criminals  are on the rise... Ones  goal in life seems  to have shifted from the ideals of ‘Bapuji’ to ‘3G’...Education  will achieve its true objective only when it  guides a person from knowledge to self-knowledge...”
Swami Guru Njana Thapswi:
“ Towards the end of his life,  Sree Narayana Guru who preached ‘One Caste, One Religion,  One God for mankind’ consecrated a temple with a mirror as ‘idol’ to symbolically suggest  that one should know oneself to perceive God...It is a law of Nature to bestow one with what one deserves...and so  it is meaningless to force children to take up Engineering and Medicine as the only two professions worth pursuing...”

Well..., another message for the Curriculum Committee!! [Please  read Post # 27 in this Blog]
