Revoking Superstition - Reinforcing Reason

Revoking Superstitions – Reinforcing Reason



21st Century. Here we claim ourselves to hail from a time that rejoices over the advancement in the field of science and rational thinking. On the same land and in the same time prevails a large mass of mindless believers who are everyday taken by their pockets and minds and shaken thoroughly until the very last essence of reason drains away. Against this con game that plays on people’s faith, Charotar Education Society organizes an activity to equip the young minds with reasoning and eradicating any possibility of them falling prey to the feign priests and save them from being added pestilence to the social count of mindless believers.


On 30th May, 2015 CES organized the program at the Gamdi village. The event is a monthly occurrence organized by CES changing location with every other occurrence. Conducted by Dr. Anilbhai Patel, he gives a behind the stage theatrics to the fake “Miracles” that are performed by the so called “Saints”. He shows that how simple science and swift hands can create illusions that are marketed as “Miracles” to lead people astray. The children marvel at the magic tricks and work their steps towards logical thinking and practical reasoning. The event had Shri Vithalbha Motibhai Patel at the honour of Chief Guest. The company of Special Guests included Shri Babubhai Patel, Shri Chinubhai Patel, Shri Ghanshyambhai Patel, Shri Arvindbhai Parmar, and Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel.


Towards the end of the event the audience was given a chance of free interaction with the host, Dr. Anilbhai Patel, clearing their minds of superstitions and their hearts of incredulity. This occurrence will once again occur on the last day of June, in a new village with a new audience; once again superstition will be taken by collar and shaken till the very last essence of ignorance drains away.
