Introduction to the National Literary Seminar
Vishal Malviya, Director of Literaturenama Sansthan, while conducting the programme, quoted the line "Arun, this is our country's diabetes" and also explained the speciality of Prasad's literature and congratulated everyone.
In the course of the program, first of all, the prayer to Mother Veena was presented by respected Dr. Pankaj Varshney ji, which was very pleasant to the ears.
Then, Mr. Awadhesh Gupta, patron of the Mahakavi Jaishankar Prasad Trust, welcomed everyone and thanked everyone, including the chief guests. He also noted that this program is gradually gaining popularity not only in the country but also abroad. In his welcome address, he also explained that this program was organized to further understand Jaishankar Prasad and to discuss his literary work.
1. Shri Virendra Kumar Yadav said:
The great poet Jaishankar Prasad has certainly elevated Hindi literature to new heights. Discussing Prasad's novels, he included his entire collection and noted that Premchand was delighted with the publication of "Skeleton." It discusses social exploitation and the inhumane treatment of women. Prasad believes that humans are no different from God. He speaks of cultural progress, noting that Prasad is a literary figure who presented the entire literary landscape in a unique way. Understanding Prasad is not easy. The more we read Prasad, the more our knowledge grows.
2. Dr. Preeti Tripathi said:
All the psychoanalytic writers who came after Prasad incorporated the psychoanalytic trend into their stories. Or rather, they incorporated it into their works. Prasad doesn't fit into a preconceived notion, as he is a unique and extraordinary writer. Prasad also examines the subconscious of a person. This is a special feature of Prasad's works. He stated that fiction is the result of personal reflection.
3. The Honourable Madhusudan Atmiya Ji said:
Prasad ji was a visionary poet. He said that the values inherent in literature are both timeless and universal. Prasad considered himself entrusted with all his work for the sake of God. He considered humanity the greatest religion and, in this regard, imparted the message of action to humanity. Prasad ji said that we should not do anything in life that would cause pain to anyone's soul, so we should do such work that would bring welfare to humanity.
In this vein, Dr. Sahitendu shared Raj Singh's thoughts in the tribute paid to Prasad after his passing. He explained that Mother Veena had been incredibly kind to Prasad. He was a blessed son of Mother Veena. It seems that Mother Veena works solely at his behest. Prasad is like an ocean, and understanding him is not an easy task. He memorized Ashtadhyayi as a child. This is no ordinary feat. Prasad's ability to navigate the difficult ocean of emotions through his pen may be a special characteristic of his. He also stated that Prasad's language is similar to that of Kalidasa.
After this, Sudha Pathak presented her poem - "He was the Prasad of Hindi literature, his name was Jaishankar Prasad." Vishambar ji from Darbhanga presented "How beautiful, how lovely is our country India." Along with this, philosophy professor Samantha Dwivedi said that there is definitely something in poetry. She also explained Prasad ji's feeling of harmony in her interpretation. After this, Juhi Jha recited the poem - "O Motherland, O Mother India.
Juhi Jha recited a wonderful poem, "Bring a new incarnation."
Ashish Amber recited a beautiful poem on patriotism.
Finally, Dr. Kavita Prasad praised the program profusely and expressed her gratitude, noting that it has been almost two months since the program began. She also mentioned that the program continues to be broadcast on YouTube and Facebook. She shared this important information with everyone and urged them to continue participating in the program.
