	An article on the Indian social reformer, Pandurang Shastri Athavale
		The bestowal of the 1996 Magsaysay award for community leadership on the 76-year-old Athavale ("it is an award given to me by God," he says gratefully) finally puts the spotlight on a man and a group that have been working selflessly and silently to transform Indian society at the grassroots level.
		Athavale has also set up a range of educational institutions—the Bal Sanskar Kendras, where children are instilled with a love of Indian culture and values through mythological tales, and the Tatvajnana Vidyapeeth at Thane, where students are taught Indian and western philosophy, comparative religion, and Vedic rites and rituals.
		Athavale was perhaps groomed for this mission by his father, Vaijnath Laxman Athavale Shastri, a Sanskrit scholar who ran the Srimad Bhagavad Gita Patshala at Madhav Bagh in Mumbai, India.
