The speech of respected Sarita Gupta ji started with “Mother, please give me the pearl of words in my speech”.
Thereafter, the organizer of the organization, Mr. Awadhesh Kumar Gupta, welcomed all the literature lovers present including the chief guests and introduced the organization.
Respected Dr. Himanshu Shekhar Singh ji as the first speaker-
To understand Prasadji's view on Indian identity, one has to look at the contemporary environment of 1909. India of 1909 was struggling in the shackles of darkness of slavery. This was the time when the British were teaching us that "you are savages" and you have no history. In such a difficult situation, Prasadji published "Indu Patrika" and he declared that a time which has no history has no identity. He also discussed linguistic identity. He clarified the concept of coordination and happiness through Kamayani. Along with this, coordination of knowledge, desire and action is identity, express your views on this.
As the second speaker, Acharya Jawaharlal Gupta 'Chaitanya' discussed Prasad's historical plays and spoke about their worldly and supernatural worlds. He also said that Prasad's literature is a literature of thought. The more we try to learn, the more deeply we will understand and understand his thoughts.
After this, in the question and answer session:
Ramnaresh Gupta, instead of posing a question, presented Prasad's ideological thinking. He said that a life-size statue of Prasad should be erected in Varanasi, and a book should be written on him. He also said that we should seriously reconsider Prasad's Kamayani.
Kanak Mishra asked, “How is Indian identity reflected in Prasad ji's journalism?”
Abhay Singh ji asked, “We see in Dhruvaswamini that very revolutionary questions like liberation and empowerment of women, their remarriage are visible to us and on the other hand, Shraddha of Kamayani is seen as the embodiment of surrender and devotion, so is there any contradiction in this layered understanding of Prasad ji or are these two different stages of development of women consciousness?”
The keynote speaker and Sahitendu Ji answered all the questions in a very satisfactory manner. Their answers provided guidance to everyone.
Thereafter in the Kavi Sammelan session:
After sharing his thoughts on Prasad, Ashok Kumar Goyal presented the verse “The identity that was fading away on this land of the country. The light of bravery has shone on the new head of the nation”.
After that, Dharam Singh Chakravarty presented the poem “If he decides to suppress the demons, then your Murari Krishna will come to help you.”
