You can see CSRidentity.com in the present form
just because our founder who had an almost fatal accident on 28.8.2013
(at about 5.30 AM in the morning) exist today because his father,
Bhau (who was 82 years of age at that time) had the courage to
take him to hospital. If the founder was taken to the hospital
after an hour or two hours, then no one knows - including the
doctors - whether CSRidentity.com in the present form & present
vision would have ever happened.
Our focus was on Thane & India since 1999.
After 28.8.2013, our canvas is social, health, climate issues
across the world and more importantly from just corporates, we
think every one on earth has social, health, climate responsibility.
Giving Birth to founder Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat is Bhau's
biggest Gift to the world.
Infact, founder thinks that Parents are great gift givers of their
children to this world and we mean all parents and not just the
parents of Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, Warren Buffet, Venkat Krishnan,
Azim Premji, Dr Abdul Kalam, Abraham Lincoln and even the parents
of terrorists are greats because they indirectly tell us what
these terrorists or naxalites had gone through and in a way it
is teaching us what needs to be improved substantially.
Of course, even in middle class there are humans who purposely
do not see their father, grand father, father in law, close relative
(We again say purposely and not because they were far off or tere
was traffic jam or lockdown ...). Some of them could be good but
were influenced by someone ... so world must understand terrorism,
naxalism have far greater life risk than some middle class mentioned
above. We think this is no middle class, their attitude is non
human, so not even zero or no where close to what you learn in
montessory class. And their is no medicine for such born humans
who live happily. If their grand child knows this and behaves
like they behaved, it is not hereditory because we have seen children
of greats become addicts as well as children of poor becoming
great leaders in their business or for the country.
We not at
all promote terrorism, naxalism but think social conditions are
responsible for them.
Greed, selfishness .... came later, but main reason is social
conditions.
Only because there exist Bad people,
Good people gets noticed.
If all were good, it will be normal.
Has rice plate without rice any meaning.
And they serve rice with other elements which mix with rice.
Not just raw ice.
But founder is not the only Gift Deed of Bhau.
He was full of courage and lived with great simplicity and his
views about religion, god have greatly influenced our founder.
For him, truth was more important than any
relationship ... and we want each citizen in this world to know
that truth is invaluable.
(And our founder Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat had the same
views right from childhood and even after experiencing professional
life of more than 30 years. It was reconfirmed after 28.8.2013.
Founder knows that we deal with human beings first - it is not
required to ask for caste, religion, relationship, country, body
colour because relationship is based on friendship and friends
can be from any caste, religion, country or of any colour or sex).
For Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat, each individual on this earth
is a relative, some relatives are good, some are ok, some are
bad, some are extremely bad for not just him but for any country,
this earth & universe. So called blood relatives are not at
all important. What Sanjay learnt from his mother was Value education,
and he has seen many academically educated humans & teachers
who are financially corrupt or mentally corrupt.
Bhau wanted each one (of course based on age & medical condition)
to donate blood and went to the houses of many people he knew
with a request to give funds to Kai
Wamanrao Oka Raktapedhi, the blood bank which was coming up
in Thane district. Now our founder wants to promote how scientific
it is, so that all blood banks across the world are science based
- not money based.
Of course money is required for many things like : go to villages
and have blood donation drives, salary of employees, to ensure
water, lights, equipments ..., that is why we will share the funding
needs of Kai
Wamanrao Oka Raktapedhi.
Bhau also realised that citizens in cities / metros are economically
progressing faster than citizens in villages. But this is only
about economic progress and not about development. He also felt
that people divide themself into castes ... and some are upper
castes and some are backward castes.
So Bhau started to help an NGO - Bhatke
Vimukta Vikas Pratishthan - which educates nomadics (many are
children of pardhi) in Yamgarwadi in Solapur district of India
He even visited Yamgarwadi school once when he was 80 plus (in
terms of physical age). Some citizens unfortunately brand these
pardhi nomadics as people who have wrong behaviour in spite of
their sterling contribution to our society. We cant take care
of funding every villager on this earth but as a sample, we will
share globally, how the Yamgarwadi project is functioning, their
funding needs....
Bhau always believed that critical decisions
are taken after a lot of thought & several experiences.
Decision maybe like a button of light that you press it and lights
are on or lights are off, but remember that the buttons have to
be manufactured first and at the right time the right button has
to be pressed ........ Dont read half way and conclude.
It may take days or months or years to decide.
But to sign on a big decision takes only a few seconds.
Supreme Court head in India or any country or Prime Minister or
President of any country will never say that just to physically
sign once will take a few days or months or years. But it may
take a few seconds or few hours, many more hours to decide on
whether to sign or not. e.g. Just to sign on financial budget
of a country will take a few seconds but to decide on the financial
budget of a country takes lot of study and time.
He was firm of his decisions till he left this world on 09.02.2015.
Bhau never believed in any particular god but he believed that
there is an unknown entity which guides us all. Though he went
to temples, or sang Aarti's (Prayers), he thought that the real
god is Truth and its the same for all religions, castes, nationalities
... we just name the god differently.
Like 7 billion plus humans have millions of names (Like Issac
is the name of father as well as son - case of Issace Newton),
there are million odd names to GOD.
Our founder knows that as humans people say "My God"
if they see any thing good or worse.
Their tone of speaking is different at different times, but the
words may be same.
Our founder knows that like in products & services, there
are different brands of god !!!
(Of course Bhau was focussing on just India, because he was the
citizen of India which is the world's largest democracy. But after
28.08.2013 Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat 's thinking has changed.
Now, India - however big - is just 1 country. There are many countries
/ islands in this world and world is a small part of this universe).
Till almost 01.02.2015, Bhau was daily going at 5.30 AM or 5.40
AM for a morning walk (the timing changed to 5.45 AM after founder
Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat recovered from the accident and started
morning walk again. Bhau used to go alone for an evening walk
because at that time founder was busy in thinking, meeting or
research ... And we know that walk is a good excercise. At almost
84 years, he was fit and fine (Of course he had some challenges
of Ulcer, BP, Diabetes ...)
Now we think every one is a global citizen (even founder used
to end his letter / email by the designation Global Citizen {Now
it is Driver, CSRidentity.com}. Official & legal designation
is written sometimes because individuals & institutions want
it to be written but he thinks it is not important, the mindset
(repeat mind set) as a global citizen is important. And global
citizen does not mean one has travelled across the world and is
often in different countries. Even if one has not ever moved out
of a small village or a forest in Africa, she / he / transgender
is an integral part of this world. We clearly mean that we all
are born as humans in this world first and then comes our caste,
colour, country, religion and a few other things... ).
It was from Bhau that Sanjay learnt that
we are born and leave this earth as humans (no one takes any money,
any property, any gold ... when she / he leaves this world and
we urge all therefore to think beyond one's family).
What founder failed to learn from Bhau till 28.08.2013 was Bhau
always believed that heart & brain must be integrated while
taking a decision. Even when he did a Gift Deed, on 25th April
2013, he did not allow emotions to overtake brain power and then
made a decision in Truth's favour.
Founder worked in the social sector and thought emotions manytimes
overrule brain power. But after accident and insurance court case,
fouder learnt what Bhau always was clear. When accident case was
heard in court, founder was asked how much financial loss he incurred
because of his accident and not how much valuable time he lost
because of accident to promote those individuals & organisations
across the world working for communities and nature..
This simply means that working for communities free or less salary
is not good.
You should get good salary and can donate substantial part of
it or all of it for social, health, climate cause but people must
treat you as a a social professional and not a cheap social labour
(Social Labour is important but here we are talking about the
money they get daily). So heart power must be integrated with
brain power and more importantly the experiences you face. Now
founder has learnt that experiential learning is critical when
one deals with not just social issues but life issues.
Bhau has physically left this world but we want citizens in this
world to replicate, modify or even scale up his efforts.
Let everyone participate in development
because now our vision is universal development, with or without
us.
Tribute to Bhau's thinking will be only
when we reduce below the poverty line citizens (and that is where
you see our request of removing poverty of 1.4 billion poor) Yes,
it will be great if we leave this world as good citizens and people
feel & say that they have lost a good person. Even if one
is financially very poor person, people will still say the same
if one was a clean & uncorrupt thinker.
It will be good if all humans in this world
target the almost impossible - remove mental corruption. We say
its impossible because we know it is impossible. Removing financial
poverty is far easier than removing mental corruption. Again,
removing financial poverty is a process because we may remove
it but again the same person becomes poor, so sustainining the
efforts is key.
The last word : We say Bhau made us realise
: Vishwachi Maze Ghar (Universe is my house), which is thinking
term and not a legal term, because no one can say every house
in terms of physical house belongs to her / him. |
