R.U (Renaissance Universal)
Renaissance Universal was founded by the great sage,composer and philosopher Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar on 25th January 1958 to usher in a renaissance in the physical ,mental and spiritual strata of human existence.Renaissance Universal aims to establish a new human society based on the principles of universal humanism,egalitarianism ,freedom,justice social equality and economic prosperity of all.This is possible only by transforming both the individual and collective psychologies and by integrating human needs with those of animals ,plants and the environment.
The term “Renaissance” literally means re-awakening .Awakening presupposes a state of slumber or inertia, and society today is precisely in such of slumber or inertia and society today is precisely in such a crisis It is in the grip of moral degradation intellectual stagnation,divisive forces and various types of dogma.Periods of inertia an chaos witness the birth opf reformers,saints sages and prophets that is renaissance personalities who illuminate the path of suffering humanity and lead people from darkness to light.
Today a universal renaissance is required which will solve the problems of exploitation, mass proverty cultural degeneration,psychic frustration and spiritual bankruptcy connoting the common people.A renaissance i urgently required in all the strata of human existence.Indeed today the much abused humanity of the words needs a Renaissance Universal!
RAWA
Artists and intellectuals can play a pivotal role in bringing about mass awakening .Their ability to effectively portray human pathos and communicate sublime thoughts as well as noble ideals can inspire people and infuse new zeal and dynamism in society.Forums for value-oriented intellectuals will help analyze the plethora of problems confronting humanity,and evolve effective solutions for progressive social image.
Renaissance Artists and Writers Associations(R.A.W.A) is a constituted body of renaissance universal (R.U) which promotes progressive art and literature .The theme of R.A.W.A. IS “Art for Service and blessedness” rather than ‘Art for art’s sake’. Art and literature that are truly worthwhile should embody the spirit of human welfare .Artists or litterateur must be responsive to the dreams of the people and give expressions to the hope and aspiration of the masses.
Artists and litterateur have the responsibility to stand against injustice and exploitation ,and to educate people against dogma and superstition.They must speak to people in the language of love joy and compassion .They are the true representatives of the neglected and the oppressed they are the unfailing guardians of society.As
P.R. Sarkar has said “they are the beacons of the present,the minstrels of the past and the messenger of the future”.
