🪔 Organising Board

The program concluded in the presence of Awadhesh Kumar Gupta, Dr. Kavita Prasad and Dr. Mahalakshmi Keshari ji.

The program began with an introductory session by Dr. Mahalakshmi Keshari. She introduced the keynote speakers, guests, and the organization.

🌺 The program started with the speech of respected Prof. Kusum Sharma ji.

🔸 Thereafter, the organizer of the organization, Mr. Awadhesh Kumar Gupta, welcomed all the literature lovers present including the chief guests and introduced the organization.

After this, the respected Dr. Rajshree Laxman Tavare, as the first speaker, discussed Prasad's entire literary work. She explained each work from a psychological perspective. She said that every work of Jaishankar Prasad can be found grounded in psychology.

📖 While reading the works of Jaishankar Prasad, I discovered that Prasad's works contain more than just events, but behind these events, a psychological narrative of human inner conflict continues. While inner conflict, love, hatred, jealousy, anxiety, hope—all these psychological elements—run within the events, this forms a very broad landscape of Prasad's literature, which we experience as we read them. He observes, knows, understands, and portrays the subtle psychological elements operating within humans. This is what a psychologist does.

🔸 After this, as the second speaker, Professor Pitambar Das said that Jaishankar Prasad's literature is situated on the plane of psychological consciousness, which appears in two forms: one is inert and the other is conscious.

He said that when a person carries his intellect and heart together, the pace of his development is determined. This can be easily understood by reading Kamayani. It is the psychology of life. He solves problems through his thoughts. Similarly, Jaishankar Prasad also tried to resolve the various inconsistencies of society on a psychological level through literature, thus giving society a new direction.

💬 Quiz Session

❖ As the first question, Kamakhya ji asked that,

“What is the difference between experience, perception, and consciousness?”

❖ Then Jaya asked the question,

“What is the conscious and subconscious mind?”

❖ And Prakash Rai ji asked the question,

"Prasadji, apart from Advaita Shaiva philosophy, which other philosophies influenced him? Name them."

The keynote speakers answered everyone's questions in a very satisfactory manner. Their answers satisfied everyone and provided guidance.

Along with the discussion of questions, Prof. Kusum Sharma also offered her thoughts on the given topic. She explained how Prasad's literature touches the mind of individuals on a psychological level, whether it's a female or male character. Everyone faces stress in life and tries to solve those problems. In such a situation, Prasad's literature paves a new path to solutions with energy.

If his literature is studied seriously, it truly solves many of life's problems. Therefore, we should read Prasad's literature as much as possible.
