DADAJI MAHARAJ

  Other Achievements


The University during Dr. Mathur's tenure did not keep itself confined within the ivory tower of mere academics. It performed many remarkable things in the socio-cultural fields at the national and international levels. It celebrated with great zeal and gusto the Nehru Centenary celebrations spread over a whole year. The celebrations included Youth Festivals, a series of lectures, debates and seminars, a Model Parliament, a very prestigious Nehru Exhibition and above all the publication of a Nehru Centenary Souvenir. The University also hosted an International Child-Care Meet, Indo-Soviet Friendship Meet presided over by Soviet Vice-President, and many more such functions.

These were the achievements of Dr. Mathur during his two terms in office as the Vice-Chancellor. No other Vice-Chancellor of Agra University has enjoyed so much of popularity and celebrity, so much of fame and honour, and so much of result-oriented and fruitful tenure in office.

A Multidimensional Personality

The life and character, achievements and acquisitions, thoughts and philosophies of a multidimensional personality like Dadaji cannot be summed up in a brief biographical sketch like the present one. Even volumes would fall short in containing and assessing him. The blending and balancing of head and heart, spirituality and intellect, spirit and matter, munificence and renunciation, splendour and asceticism is a rare of the rarest phenomena. Such a rare phenomenon is Dr. Agam Prasad Mathur. His life is a living testimony to Tennyson's immortal lines:

"Let knowledge grow from more to more,

But more of reverence in us dwell;

That mind and soul, according well,

May make one music as before."

This is only what I know of Dr. Mathur but much more of him is outside my knowledge. His followers and disciples, running into lakhs, hold him in highest veneration and reverence. To them he is their most revered 'Guru', their spiritual head, their moral succour and support, their harbour and rock of shelter to land upon. They look up to him and are spiritually fed by him. He is their pole star and their lighthouse.

I bow my head to such a sage in all reverence and veneration. These, my stray thoughts, are my offerings and adorations on his sixty-fifth birthday with earnest paryers to Radhasoami Dayal that we may celebrate many many more of his birthdays in the same spirit.
