Among the numerous holy people who have showed up in Tamil Nadu, Ramalinga Swamigal, prevalently known as Arut Prakasa Vallalar, stands apart as an otherworldly pioneer with a distinction. He established an all inclusive religion, where no human is segregated on the ground of position, shading, or statement of faith, where God is seen as Jyoti, the brilliant light. His way of thinking, called Suddha Sanmargam, way of immaculateness, truth and flawlessness, depends on all inclusive fellowship, where harmony, generosity and congruity win. He held up specific standards and qualities which he explained in his melody, ‘Thiru Arutpa’. He supported three straightforward ways for an existence of complete satisfaction: pasithiru, thanithiru and vizhithiru – remain hungry, keep up separate and stay alert.
Remain hungry: It doesn’t mean going without food, which is the imperative wellspring of vitality. It implies that one ought to stay away from food every so often and in this manner offer rest to the stomach related framework. The Krishna sanctuary at Guruvayur watches ‘Ekadasi celebration’ consistently when fans keep away from ordinary food. Great wellbeing is controlled by the nature of food that is satvik in its immaculateness, sustenance and equalization. On the off chance that the amount is more, it would prompt inactivity and the journey for information would lessen. Starving for some time would reduce the inclination for sense satisfaction.
Vallalar who is additionally a recognized doctor, specified the sort of food one ought to embrace and the sort of food one should dispose of. Obviously, moderate dietary patterns and solid food would make great obstruction power in the human framework, boosting its insusceptibility.
Look after separation: To stay alone doesn’t mean being completely disconnected from the world; it just methods keeping a good ways from the world. Indian holy people and sages constantly depended on lone spots like woods and wildernesses since they discovered tremendous incentive in social removing. The demonstration of removing oneself from different contacts and being ‘one’s own Self’ accept significance and desperation in the present basic circumstance.
We are so fascinated in different human exercises that we deny ourselves many ‘delights’ like being separated from everyone else, reflecting upon ourselves and mulling over. Our brain has an inclination consistently to turn towards the outer world; subsequently social removing is a chance to divert the psyche to our own source. It is a chance to go further into the truth of our own Self, liberated from the antagonistic impact of the world.
Stay conscious: When an individual gets up from bed in the first part of the day, he thinks he has woken up. As a matter of fact, he has woken up just to the domain of his body and brain. He has woken up just to familiarity with the pictures of the world. He truly awakens just when he comes out of the complexities of his body, psyche and mind and understands his actual nature.
At the point when a horrendous ailment like the novel coronavirus strikes mankind, it ought to be an event to contemplate over the emptiness of life and the purposelessness of material qualities. Events like this should provoke the person to consider over the inquiry, ‘what is genuine?’ This is the time he ought to tune in to the call of the Lord of Death, Yama Dharma Raja: “Emerge, Awake and arrive at the way appeared by the holy people. ” (Uttisthata Jagrata, Kathopanishad 1-iii-14). Maybe, Arut Prakasa Vallalar’s lessons have never been as legitimately pertinent to humankind as they are currently.
Every year, in the month of June, the LGBTQ community hosts pride celebration in various ways. It is a month long celebration of diversity, love, acceptance, inclusion and unabashed self-pride. Various events are held across the globe during this commemorative month as a way of recognising the LGBTQ community and their influence around the world.
Why the month of June?
The month of June was chosen for LGBTQ pride month to memorialise the riots held by LGBTQ community members against a police raid that occured at the Stonewall Inn, a gay club, in New York City on June 28, 1969.
The message was clear; to peacefully protest and raise political and social awareness of the issues facing by the community. The queer community wanted to be open about their sexual orientation and be free to go anywhere without the fear of being arrested.
Pride Month 2020: #21daysallychallenge
This year, because of the social distancing norms across the world, many pride parades and events are on hold. But still we would not be restricted to celebrate all forms of love. Due to the global pandemic concerns, this year a different approach have been taken by the Pride Circle to take aware and conscious steps to acknowledge and redress stereotypes and biases about the LGBTQ community and bring about social change.
The aim of the challenge is to bring together individuals and influencers from over 28 countries and 70 organisations to establish a global community of LGBTQ allies. It started on June 1, there will be 21 mini-challenges extended over a period of 21 days in the month of June. As per the Pride Circle’s Statement, “this is based on science that it takes 21 days to form a new habit. Anyone can participate free-of-cost and sign up for it by clicking on the link – https://thepridecircle.com/21daysallychallenge/
Some of the challenges of the initiative include building awareness about the existence and journey of an LGTBQ person, for instance, read or watch or find out about the coming out story of an LGTBQ person, laws associated with the community; show your allyship, test your biasness- have you ever made fun of or discriminated an LGBTQ. Wear something symbolic or just shout out, let the world know that you’re an ally. Build your knowledge about the community. Learn about the art and literature by them and go all out. Don’t hold back, talk about the stigma and bias against LGBTQ persons.
In our country, decriminalisation of homosexuality is yet to complete 2 years, this initiative which has sprouted in India could become our leap of faith to ignite a global movement to look out for equal rights and fair treatment for the people belonging to that community. Allies would be able to contribute in creating a safe space where people of every sexual orientation is welcome and respected. It will help bridge the gap and let people understand the importance of treating others, who may be different from them, with equality, fairness, acceptance and mutual respect. The #21daysallychallenge could be a favourable step in the direction of building and inclusive and conscientious society with support and trust.
The movement is supported by various organisations, along with eminent academic institutions such as IIMs, IITs, NMIMS, MICA and the only school in India participating in Pride month celebrations, Tagore International School, Vasant vihar. This is a great achievement towards creating safer schools, workplaces and society for the coming generation. Such support from organisations like these is the need of the hour as it plays a vital role in the bigger fight to advance the community and promote inclusion in all spheres of life.
Now, more than ever, we, the people of India, should encourage everyone who believes in LGTBQ equality to come out and be an ally or support in the best possible way. It’s time we move towards being a more accepting society and initiatives like these is the fundamental step towards that larger goal of “vasudhaiva kutumbakam”, i.e. “the world is one family”.
