One of the most important day in Hinduism is “Mauni Amavasya”. This is regarded as the most significant day to honor to our ancestors and fathers. It takes place on the “New Moon” day in the month of January.

In Prayagraj devotees take early morning baths in the confluence of holy rivers the Saraswati, Yamuna, or Ganges. “Magh Mela” is a traditional religious fair which is organised every year for a month. When devotees take a holy plunge in the Ganga river, it cleanses their body, mind, and soul.

On this day “Amavasya” a lot of people make a pledge or sankalp to keep quiet all day. It is believed that sitting silently enhances inner peace and strengthens spiritual bonds.

One needs to engage in charitable giving. There are a lot of impoverished people in the world, so those who are wealthy should help them by giving them food, clothing and other necessities in this religious fair.

We, officials of Public Work Department (PWD) and contractors combine organise to distribute luch to the bathers to perform some charity. This is needed because millions of people walk nearly 5-7 km to reach this place. Taking a bath and return to home is a whole day process.

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

There were names on the houses, and titles were attached to them. I searched a lot but couldn’t find any human.

There were sustenance, resources and open heart support attached to them. I searched a lot but couldn’t find respect.

There were attachment, madness and also desire to get attached to them. I searched a lot but couldn’t find complete dedication.

There were intence speech, with so many futuristic golden dreams attached to them. I searched alot but couldn’t find implementations.

There were loud religious indentity and cast, creed were attached to them. I searched a lot but couldn’t find any humanity.

Think back on your most memorable road trip.

A journey that dispels the frustration of months, that takes me far, far away towards a deep silence, where all the inner conflicts come to an end. Where only nature and my soul exist, far from this created world, a meeting of two fundamental natures.

We were excited as we passed through the mountain roads and wonderful panorama spread out beneath us. Where we amidst the jingle of a waterfall or the call of wild animals and walk up to the songs of birds and the smell of the grass.

We were amazed by the beauty of the green frosty valleys. We walked through the lush green gardens and hillsides overlooking lakes. We experienced all this to our hearts content.

A journey that allows your soul to feel connected with divine soul. A journey that allows you to focus on inner discussion on your own existence. It takes you away from worldly temptations and illusions for a moment.

After this kind of journey I emerge as a new person every time. It relieves you from the routine, the past and the present and makes you enjoy every moment to the fullest.

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

Young people have an immense capacity to create positive change and build strong communities through their enthusiasm and passion. That feeling can be channeled into building meaningful relationships, most commonly friendship and contributing to something larger than yourself.

As a young boy, I had a good standing among many friends and relatives, and I was well-known in the street and neighborhood. I have lots of contacts and I give importance to them and expect every relation would stand by me whenever I needed them. But those all connections have some motive for a particular period of time

As a young person, you are still learning where your own boundaries and relationships lie. As people mature, these attachments often evolve, with some material items being lost or passed on, and relationships becoming more complex, teaching valuable lessons about life and connection.

What is your mission?

Education, learning and stay connected with books throughout life are being able to work with ethical values, doing business keeping sustainability in mind, questioning the cause and effect of events and learning from them and being grateful for and focussing on the resources and circumstances that are in one’s favour rather than focussing on unfavourable factors, as this helps one be balanced about both success and failure.

An education system rooted in values, along with modern knowledge, will help safeguard religion and culture, strengthen national unity and integrity, foster social harmony, and provide a positive direction to the world while benefiting humanity as a whole.

The Indian Constitution grants the ‘Right to Education’ to every child, but if one critically analyses the situation, it becomes evident that only those who can afford it are only able to obtain quality education. Education system must have to ensure that a good education reaches last person in the society.

What could you do differently?

In the past, when mistakes happened, I would always blame someone or something and walk away from the situation. This is so easy to do, and it doesn’t make you answerable. Generally, I would always find some support whether from friends or parents, saying I wasn’t responsible for the situation.

And in this process, when any injustice is being perpetrated around us, we are unable to protest it in the same way. And we place all the responsibility on the system. Then, when something happens to us, we feel as if the entire system has sold out, everyone is in cahoots, and no one cares about justice.

Learning from mistakes involves acknowledging errors, analyzing what went wrong without blame, reframing them as growth opportunities, taking responsibility, and creating a plan to avoid repetition, which builds resilience, self-awareness, strong character and system answerable. It also include apologizing if needed in any case.

What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

After a long wait
when a gust of breeze had hit me,
bringing with it a new wave of joy,
it plays a music of love like
filling the silence of centuries
with sweet melody in an instant.
It had touched all the strings of my heart.
A constant music that seemed
to flow out of its own accord.
As if I had been waiting for
these melody for centuries.

That intricate melody brings such a deep
ocean of emotions that made me feel my existence.
A universal kind of music played in me
which is connecting me to the ultimate reality.
A feeling arose in which the entire world
seemed to belong to me.
From the earth to the sky, the sun,
the moon, mountains, rivers, fields, lakes,
cities, villages, everything seemed lovely.

If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?

After last year’s successful sports event, this time the New Year celebrations are going to be held with a cricket match. Dev foundation sponcer this event again this year and hopefully this time it will more competitive, enjoyable and memorable event.

Organising such a sports tournament can be both a rewarding and challenging experience. Whether you’re planning a small community event or a larger regional competition, creating a well-structured event requires careful planning and attention.

To enhance the prestige of this event we have invited some guests like Dr. Saurabh Mishra and Prof. Sarvesh K. Mishra. Probably they also present award and certificates to the performers. The venue is Pared Ground in Prayagraj city.

A well-run sports event can bring the us together, showcase local talent, and provide a memorable experience for everyone involved. This is new poster we launched with this colour combination.

What is your all time favorite automobile?

This journey should be such that the burden of life starts to seem easy. Which gives me personal freedom, convenience, and efficiency, allowing me to peaceful travel towards my destination.

It should give me confidence, reputation, dignity and self respect on my own decided schedules, access in the the area where I need, instead of other moods of transportation.

It should provide comfort, security, and the ability to give service during crucial time for me and my families in any kind of emergencies.

And take me towards nature, remote locations and help me explore more this land where my soul feel ecstasy. Also fundamentally shaping modern life, economies, and accessibility.

Nature has blessed everyone with different perticularity but some people only see their own. Stay away from those who only understand the world as it serve them, who just listen enough to respond loud but never enough to feel.

People who cannot step outside their own perspective will always make you question your reality, emotion and truth. Without thinking, they create such a strong perception that the entire fault lies with in the other person.

Perhaps there was no need for it, there was never anything like that. Protect your heart from those who lack empathy, who dismiss what they can’t personally relate to. You deserve to seen with depth, met with compassion, heard without filter.
