A True Philosopher

Chairman of Saint R.S. Academy, Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh,  Mr.Sharad Kumar Tiwari is a man of multiple talents. He is a scholar, philosopher, guide, mentor and a family man. His parental place is Gorakhpur but he completed his higher studies from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. With a zeal of learning, this creative personality did not only read books, but he followed wrote-learning as the best mode of learning. Whenever he recited something, he used to record it and later listen to that record to memorize the things regularly as he believed that listening is the best form of learning. An avid book reader, he has read many philosophical books. To add to his genius, this man is a poet and a writer also, who keeps writing poems on different aspects of human life. Whatever he observes in his life at any particular moment, he writes a poem on it and shares it with his close associates to make everyone aware of certain aspects of human life that all of us have experienced in our lives.

He is a person who has genuine consideration for everyone in the family and society. People often take his guidance in severe issues of their lives and he thoroughly solves all their problems. In all the moments of happiness and joy, this person stands tall as a genuine supporter of everyone in family, relatives and community. You just tell him the problem, and he has solution for everything. From small children to grown up adults, he is a symbol of respect for everyone in the community. And he has gradually gained this reputation for himself by his sincere sacrifices for everyone. 

He is a deep believer in family values and always takes care that everyone's emotional bonding among friends and relatives remains intact. He keeps teaching younger ones a lot about importance of joint family in human life, the degrading condition of joint family in modern human society and how today's younger generation can change this situation for betterment of modern families. Preserving family values and tradition has always been his prime consideration. Therefore he keeps teaching younger ones, many stories from his own the lives, of his own ancestors about how they preserved family values, how they were having feeling of sacrifice and devotion for each and every member of family and relatives and how, in order to benefit other members of the family and community, his ancestors have sacrificed their personal desires and longings. These stories are really inspirational and definitely essential for modern generation, that is gradually loosing family values in this technology driven world.

He never forgets to attend any kind of family gathering because he know this fact that in today's modern life 24x7 job environment, where people are not finding time to even call each other, family function is the only place where everyone can gather and meet each other personally. And when these people, who are lost in the job life of office and, machinery, without human contact, when they meet each other at such family gatherings, they talk to each other very emotionally, expressing all their deep shattered desires, complaints, aspirations, future plans, newly acquired possessions and much more, as if after this party is over, they do not know that when again they are going to see each other in today's hectic work environment. 

I have thoroughly watched one very crucial gesture of his, and that is, whenever someone very dear meets him for the first time, he gifts that person Bhagavad Gita with a sincere advice that, " This is not just a holy book but a spiritual journey of how an individual should live his life in a systematic and pure manner." He is such a person who can win anyone's heart in the very first meeting by his sincere attitude and spiritual personality.

And yes, in this emotion-less so called modern world, he is the torch bearer of family tradition and values. Hats off to this great personality,
