Why
bodhi?
Bankim Chandra in Dharma-tattwa raised a million dollar question “what
we are to do with life; what is to be done?” (Jibon loia ki koribo;
ki korite hoy?) This was probably the question which haunted a considerable
section of our faculty members. In an untiring pursuit to solve this
question, we came to realise that eternal quest for knowledge along
with healthy exchange of opinion could be an effective starting point
in our journey to the centre of this question. By exerting our freedom
of expression and also by articulating our opinion, we may at least
make our life more meaningful. This venture requires a platform for
clarity of thought. Thus came the idea of bodhi, a journal to be published
exclusively by Vivekananda College. Not only the members of our faculty,
any free thinker from any part of the globe is at liberty to contribute
and express his/her valued opinion. We welcome articles from the experts
of different subjects. We firmly believe that active participation of
erudite persons shall en able the journal to rise to the pinnacle of
glory in near future.
It is the well considered opinion of the faculty members that the journal
would be published in three parts—bodhi artham, bodhi vijanan and bodhi
kala. The first one will deal with issues relating to economics, finance
and management; the second one shall comprise discussion on science
and technology and the third one will include articles on humanities
and social sciences. But we are entirely opposed to the idea of rigid
compartmentalization. A discourse on the history of science may be published
in bodhi kala, or for example, a critique of colonial economy shall
be well accepted in bodhi artham. Our resources are limited, but our
vision is broad and our spirit is indomitable. Publishing bodhi is an
humble effort on our to build a knowledge based society. |
