Immortal Messages of His Holiness Param Guru Huzur Mehtaji Maharaj, Founder

His Holiness Huzur Mehtaji Maharaj, Himself an eminent engineer and an epitome of values, discipline, economy, who exemplified the motto “Work is Worship” in letter and spirit and who founded Engineering Faculty delivered a stirring inaugural address on the occasion of the opening of the Engineering College on 17TH July 1950:
“Brothers and sisters of Dayalbagh, and new young friends! I bow in gratitude before the Supreme Father at your having assembled here at the invitation of the Principal, Engineering College. Monday is regarded as an auspicious day in the Satsang circle. Muslim brothers will also say the same thing about today, in particular, for is it not their happy Id-ul-Fitr? I am particularly grateful to you, young friends, for your having given preference to this new Engineering College over other and old colleges. It was only on May 25th that information was received from His Excellency, the Governor of the United Provinces, the Chancellor of the Agra University, to the effect that he had been pleased to grant permission to start an Engineering College at Dayalbagh. For this we are very grateful to him. We have yet neither any building of its own for the Engineering College, nor have we been able to get together all the equipment required. Whatever equipment could be obtained from Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Masulipatnam, Banaras, Roorkee, Agra and Dayalbagh, is being procured. I heartily thank the Principal and his colleagues for their efforts in this direction………
The utility of a college largely depends upon its workers and students. The workers should not look upon their students merely as sons of others, but should treat them like their own sons and devote themselves wholeheartedly to their betterment. The students in their turn should have proper regard and respect for their teachers, act according to their instructions and take full advantage of their knowledge and experience. In short, you should utilize to your best advantage the opportunities that may be afforded to you during your stay here, because time and opportunities once lost are lost forever. Equip yourself during your stay here so as to be useful for the service of India and humanity at large so that your names may be written in letters of gold in the history of Dayalbagh Engineering College. I trust your Principal and other teachers will keep your interests fully in view and strive constantly for your betterment.”
