The Health Minister, who was in Agra to attend an organ donation programme organised on the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday on Sunday, said the medical colleges would have a facility to retrieve or transplant organs when it is donated by any donor.

"Financial aid would also be provided to improve this facility in the medical colleges," he said.

"In the organ donation programme, there were more than 8,000 people who pledged to donate their organs and also registered themselves in the National Organ Donation Registry," he said.

The Health Minister, who also inaugurated a super speciality wing at the Sarojini Naidu Medical College (SNMC), said that people from Agra and the nearby districts would benefit from it.

"It will help them to get treatment in Agra," he added.

Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare S P Singh Baghel, highlighting the benefits of the organ donation programme, said it is important to donate organs to save the lives of people.

Baghel added that awareness should be spread in this regard.

The local residents of Agra turned out in large numbers to attend the organ donation programme. A local resident posted the certificate of the programme on his social media handle to make others aware about organ donation.

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...
