Nara Yajna - for Fellow human
beings
Being compassionate towards other human beings,
being sensitive to others feeling for others, loving others and caring for
others is “Nara Yajna” or “Service”. Taking care of orphans and destitute
children, caring for the sick, and helping in any way when someone is in
distress are examples of Nara Yajna.
The philosophy of ‘Yajna’ is centered around the
idea of Individual Social Responsibility (ISR) and emphasizes on creating a
lifestyle that nourishes a sustainable developmental model. In a society where
most people lead lives in tune with Yajna, there is hardly any need for NGOs.
NGOs are external interventions and are like medicines to the human body.
e.g: in USA, most NGOs are working on drugs,
violence, teenage pregnancies, and broken families. Very few NGOs are working
on primary education. Where as in India, most NGOs are working on primary
education because that is what is ailing our society. NGOs must cater towards
strengthening individuals and social institutions and not create vaccum in the social
space that can be filled only by such an organization. We NGOs, must work in a self-
dissolving manner and not become an indispensable part of society.
