Ratlam: We as a man commit mistakes everyday. We know it well, but do not accept. If some of us accept our mistakes, it is due to our age old samskars. Our social and religious traditions show lot of significance to forgiveness. Begging pardon and forgiveness should be from the core of our heart. It is necessary for social harmony also. One who is egoless can only pardon,” said RSS Sarkaryavah Shri Bhaiyaji Joshi while addressing the Kshma Parva on September 18. Noted Jain saint Acharya Jayant Sen Surishwar was felicitated with the title of ‘Loksant’ on this occasion. The function was presided over by national vice president of the BJP and incharge of BJP Madhya Pradesh unit Dr Vinay Sahasrabuddhe.
Shri Joshi further said if one has to take up an arm for protecting the non-violence it is not a sin, because even gods took up arms for the protection of ahimsa. He said one of the prime messages of Kshma Parva is that an individual should not hurt anybody. “We can pardon each other, but many times we don’t pardon ourselves when we ourselves commit mistakes,” he added. Presiding over the function Dr Vinay Sahasrabuddhe described Kshma Parva as the event for introspection. He appealed to the people that they should not do any such work, which forces them to seek pardon from themselves.

Champion of Cow Protection Movement
New Delhi: With the passing away of noted gausevek Shri Ishwar Prakash Gupta in New Delhi on September 9 the cow protection movement has lost a crusader. Protection of cows from getting slaughtered was his chosen path in life. Till the very end his commitment did not dilute on it. As a young man from Narwana, Haryana, he was in the forefront of historic 1966 cow protection movement. Along with the Shankaracharya, other senior seers and other people he fasted for the cause.
For the last many years, he was running a big gaushala, known as Gopal Gaushala in Bawana, Delhi, which he established on the instance of the late Shri Ashok Singhal. The gaushala has around 500 cows. He used to collect small contributions from his friends and relatives to run it. He used to look after the treatment of ailing cows personally with love and respect. A swayamsevak for the last about 65 years Shri Ishwar Prakash Gupta used to travel all over the country to make lifetime
subscribers of Organiser and Panchjanya. He did that from 1966 to 1975. He was in Jail during the Emergency. Though he suffered police excesses
during that period, he did not compromise for his release. In 1992, he started Ram-Lakhan Ramlila. — Vivek Shukla
