Message From The Mentor

"Towards a Rainbow World”…

It’s my joy and privilege to be part of this Sophia (Philosophy) blog.

Philosophy is not an experiment, it’s an experience. But experiences have to be shared, and if they aren’t, they will indeed become nightmares! It is in sharing them, the dreams, aspirations, ideas and ideals can be expressed, complemented, and connected.

It is in this co-nurturing spirit, I gladly invite the budding youth of the Sophia club to freely, creatively and responsibly share their philosophical musings through this blog.

A word again about philosophy is in order here.

Humans have the privilege of walking on earth under the sky. Philosophy, as not only “love of wisdom,” but also “wisdom of love,” endeavors to assist the humans to participate in this walk integrally, lovingly and joyfully.

In our contemporary pluralistic human situation, in a special way, the Sophia club of MUJ strives to inspire in its members and in others a much needed interdisciplinary and intercultural orientation in this journey.

Let the musings be directed towards an enlightened, loving and healing involvement with the self, nature and society in an interdisciplinary and intercultural spirit, contributing thus to the creation of a RAINBOW WORLD!

Message From The Founder President

- Akash Dayal

In this world where the whole concept of conquering and war comes, through Philosophy we move from knowledge to wisdom. It is well said that "from where Logic ends Philosophy starts", but even for getting into Philosophy you need to expertise well in logic and then come to a point where it ends, and then the way to enlightenment will open it's gate. I welcome all to a Club, a platform where you are free to discuss, debate and dialogue which will make you understand each other and intern love each other. For me first comes Nation, then the world. People are the building blocks of the Nation who build the society too, a warm and nationalist society is a germination by-product of strong Philosophical thoughts and Ideas from the theory of Relativity to the Leibniz's Monadology, we need to understand each and every bit of knowledge and turn it into "Wisdom".
