Udaipur. Renaissance Universal club (RU), Udaipur, Rajasthan, India organized "A Virtual Talk on Proutist Philosophy and its Dimensions" on the Zoom platform which was streamed live on Youtube. Seminar was started with Prabhat Samgiita no. 4795 ' E Ga`n Thamibe Na.. '.

In the beginning, RU, Udaipur, President Dr. S. K. Verma welcomed all the participants and introduced about the Keynote speaker Acharya Vimalananda Avadhuta who has been working on PROUT since last so many years in different continents. Dr Verma told that PROUT is a God-centered, socio-economic theory first propounded by Shrii P R Sarkar in 1959 and since last six decades, Proutists are working hard to establish PROUT's principles on the planet earth.

Keynote Speaker of the program, Acharya Vimalananda Avadhuta introduced about PROUT theory and its five fundamental principles which are to provide minimum guarntee for food, cloth, education, medicine and shelter. He gave the broader understanding of its principles such as removal of income tax, giving status of industry to agriculture sector etc.

He told that PROUT tells that we should separate the two powers that is political power which should be in the hands of benevolent, service minded people called as Sadvipras and Economic power whose charge should be given to producers. This is unlike communism and capitalism where both the powers are interconnected and ultimately helps in corruption and exploitation. He told that PROUT is a nuclear arrangement with compression and expansion in a system rather than bipolar arrangement of present day systems which have destructing mentalities and both poles keep fighting with each other. PROUT is the theory of synthesis rather than antithesis or thesis theories of communism and capitalism respectively and PROUT believes in economic democracy by increasing purchasing power and living standard of people in progressive manner. He further told that PROUT is not a self-centered or matter centered philosophy in which to actualize such goals money, power or even culture is employed to gain the material wealth. He emphasized that it is the right time to make people aware about this economic system and start implementing it in practical fields. Acharya ji informed that they have started this on a small scale in Bihar, where farmers have been given the rights to sell produces rather than raw materials and have full worth of their hard work.

More than 50 participants attended the Seminar from various parts of the country. Queries of all the participants were also resolved by Acharya Vimalananda ji in the question and answer session. In the end, Dr Verma extended heartfelt thanks to Acharya ji for delivering an excellent talk on Proutist philosophy in a very simple language for benefit of all.
