…What It MeansWHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE GIVEN A DAYITWA IN SANGH
In Sangh, there are no elections
Nor is there any campaigning
The Karyakartas or Adhikaris sit down and discuss this agenda
Many people are consulted before the responsibility is given to them
Based on what qualities one possesses
Also based on what qualities one must possess (*example)
To develop skills that will develop you as a person
Why Me? One might often wonder so…
It is the need of Sangh Karya, to develop certain skills in you
So that you can train another swayamsevak who is fond of you
To pull you out of another task and divert your attention elsewhere (frog in the well)
To bring about a change with new ideas
To introduce you to a working team where your skills will be utilized better
To fill in a position that is vacated by another who must move to another position
Due to the need of the circumstances prevailing
The Story of a Sampark Pramukh There was a shakha searching for a new sampark pramukh
Karyawah chose Mandeep, who hardly ever talks to people and is shy
Eveyone was shocked at the Karyawahs choice and offered other
suggestions
The Karyawah had a plan
After a couple of months, Mandeep was no longer the shy one. He
spoke elaborately and expressed himself with confidence even to
strangers
Had Mandeep not been chosen for this role, what do you think would
have happened to him in his later life?
Haba na Haba Hujaza…
Students busy with school are given duties accordingly
Married and working swayamsevaks are appropriately selected
The retired are also given duties
Each one must perform his roles effectively to get a consolidated
result in the end
The “Clock Hands” analogy
One has to manage his time to do Sangh duties (* example)
Story of the Waiting man… A man had a good job, very learned, well behaved, very talented
He really wanted to do something for the society… to give something back
But he wanted to earn enough money, and then do the Samaj Seva after he quits his job and has plenty of time in his hands
He worked day and night and focused only on his job
Then when he finally quit his job he found that his health was not supporting him
He couldn’t walk, couldn’t see well, couldn’t eat well etc
Now his devotion to do samaj seva, his talent, his knowledge was not utilized effectively as it should have been
Don’t put off the things you ought to do now, else it will be too late to do what you really want to do…
Some examples …
Swami VivekanandGave his famous Chicago speech at 30 years of age.
PELÉAt 17 years, won world cup
with Brazil in 1958, in Sweden.
DoctorjiAt the age of 36, started Sangh,
the largest voluntary organization in the world
Where Do I Begin? Start at your immediate surroundings
Keep it basic and simple
Don’t forget the fundamentals (remember nothing would exist if
not for the fundamental entity that is the molecules or atoms)
Don’t ever get depressed or stressed
Create a happy environment to perform your role in
It is a good thing to learn from another shakha that is doing well,
but turning it into a cut-throat comparison is no good for our
Karya
….among other such points
What can you encounter Differences in opinion
Unlikely or unfamiliar methods of working
More on your plate than you can handle
Influence to do things one way or another from what is expected
Harsh words from an adhikari
Criticism
Never ever expect to get recognition or applause. You will be
disappointed …
“Raah Kaanto se Bhari he, Kushalataa se Laanghnaa he…”
In Conclusion… The Daitwa that has been given to you has been well thought
upon. Think of it as an opportunity to make Sanghkarya better
The time to perform your Sangh duties is NOW. Don’t put it off to a later date, when you don’t know how the circumstances will be
You will encounter criticism and differences in opinion….Don’t be disheartened
Focus on, and train swayamsevaks who will take up your role when you will eventually vacate that position. Always have this at the back of your mind. Sanghwork is continuous and perpetual. Remember the basis of continuity in Sangh “Nirantar Karyakarta Nirman”
Also think of your daitwa as an opportunity to improve yourself as an individual. One will have to change oneself for the better, while performing his role
