Evening Assembly :
Today’s evening assembly, titled “Women’s Day”, began at 5pm with a special medley of devotional hymns sung by an all-female ensemble from across the world and accompanied by traditional Indian as well as Western instruments.
Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis, Vice-President Axis Bank, Actor, Singer and Social Activist, said, “I have seen a truly beautiful festival today. Pramukh Swami Maharaj spread the message of love across the world and it is wonderful to see everybody including the children following his messages today. He considered everyone a member of his family, which is evident from the 750,000 letters he wrote to devotees. His guidance to lead everyone towards spiritual liberation differentiates him as a true Guru. Today I bow to Mahant Swami Maharaj, who is taking his legacy forward.”
Honourable Evelyn Anite, State Minister of Finance for Investment and Privatization of Uganda, shared, “When I come to India, I can feel the maxim of Pramukh Swami Maharaj, ‘In the joy of others lies our own.’ I was pleased to meet Indian government officials as well as Indian people to tell them that our President has recognized Indians as one of the tribes of Uganda. Uganda is a land of peace and unity, and I invite all of you to come. I will take back with me the respectful way Indians treat one another, by bowing and saying ‘namaste’, symbolising peace. Indians are the most hardworking and trustworthy citizens, and Uganda will always welcome you to be a part of our family.”
Mrs. Suhag Shukla, Co-founder and Executive Director of the Hindu American Foundation, said, “Viewing the stunning exhibitions built here by the service of volunteers shows what can be achieved through united hearts and minds for a selfless and noble cause. “Pramukh Swami Maharaj said, ‘Dharma is that which spreads love for one another.’ While it seems simple, it is hard to practise if we think more about what divides us rather than what unites us. So, please say ‘namaste’ to each other with an awareness of its meaning – the divine in me bows to the divine in you. This exemplifies the values of Sanatan Dharma and Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
“We women can make the lessons of Pramukh Swami Maharaj the backbone of society because we care for the next generation. So, the sincere awareness of the divinity within ourselves and others will make us pure from within, allowing us to better see the divinity in all. Pramukh Swami Maharaj taught that when we see God in everyone, nobody is seen to be different.”
