RSS Sarsangchalak Mohan Bhagwat praises Gurudev Ranade's contributions to Indian thought at ACPR centenary celebrations in Belagavi.
RSS Sarsangchalak Mohan Bhagwat inaugurated the centenary celebrations of Academy of Comparative Philosophy and Religions (ACPR) in Belagavi on Thursday.
Gurudev Rambhau Ranade (1886-1957), scholar and former Vice-Chancellor of Allahabad University, founded ACPR in Pune in 1924.
The Belagavi branch was opened in 1952. Mr. Ranade hailed from Jamkhandi in Bagalkot district. He established an ashram in Nimbal in Vijayapura district.
Mr. Bhagwat praised the contribution of Gurudev Ranade to the advancement of Indian thought.
He said that scholars and saints like him tried to find similarities between various ideologies proposed by several Indian philosophers and made it easier for the common man to understand it.
“Gurudev Ranade may not be with us physically, but his ideologies will stay with us forever,” Mr. Bhagwat said. He had spread this distilled wisdom not only in India, but in the entire world, he added.
“Modern life is full of stress. Most of us feel that we are not finding happiness in this stressful life. We are faced with several questions. We wonder if metaphysics is opposed to daily life,” he said.
