Report on the Meetings held at New Jersey

[Guest guest]

My dear friends and likeminded persons

 

A REPORT ON THE MEETINGS ATTENDED DURING THE LAST WEEK IN USA

Dr Umesh Shuklaji invited me to attend the Hindu Mandir Executive Conference

organized by Vishwa Hindu parishad of USA which was held at New Jersey from 10th

August to 12th August 2007. Representatives of 120 temples plus of USA attended

and a good number of Swamijis too. In the overcrowded hall, a number of

resolutions were passed and I have particularly referred myself to the youth

program. The next generation demanded for proper recognition of their

capacities and somehow during the overheated discussions, the next generation

people tried to blame their parents for insisting to upkeep the Indian

Tradition. They went up to the stage of saying that their parents are

responsible for bringing them to USA and only on account of their parents coming

to USA, the younger generation were forced to remain under the influence of the

foreign tendency.

It was my turn to interfere to say that their parents entered USA due to the

then prevailing conditions in India and it was not their intention to dilute the

traditional values, but surely it was their intention to create the best

educational opportunities to their children. A great amount of sacrifice was

existed when their parents preferred USA. Any way either in USA or India, none

would prefer guiding for diluting the traditional values and it is not proper on

the part of the children to give up the same or disrespect the Hindu system of

life just for the reason of their stay in USA.

There were other points too which I shared with the representatives of VHP and

it was in the following manner

1) Since the temple are growing only now and it is in their initial stage,

temple executives should not encourage saivism or vaishanvism or some such

branches and should not also encourage the divisions and sub-divisions for the

mean interest of personal images of some Swamijis.

2) All temples should educate the devotees or should circulate literature

that all Gods of Hindu Religion are one and devotees should develop respect

towards the branches of the religion instead of disowning some Hindu Gods and

other branches.

3) Every Saturday and Sunday, all temples should conduct chanting of both

Shri Lalitha Sahasranaama and Shri Vishnu Sahasranaama on a day of their

convenience OR they should encourage the devotees to chant either of them on

Saturday and the other on Sunday.

4) I have assured them that I am prepared to collect the literature on

different languages of each temple need and send them for distribution free of

cost on behalf of WORLD BRAHMAN ORGANISATION. I requested them to place an

indent on need base.

5) I have also requested the temple authorities to insist the Swamijis and

the Visitors from India while entertaining any program in the temple that the

visitor should convey a message that all HINDU RELIGION LORDS ARE EQUAL and all

of them should be equally placed.

6) I have further requested the temple authorities to collect data relating

to economically backward people coming from India and staying in their command

area, and who are suffering here for some reason or the other. They should also

maintain a list so that those who can afford can adopt them and support them on

need base.

HH Shri Viswayogi Viswamji of Guntur attended the concluding session and

passed on a message that all of should strive for Viswa Shanthi and Unity

seeking peace and purposeful living.

The Next Program of the day by Brahman Samaj of North America (BSNA)

After the conclusion of the HMEC, I visited the house of Dr Umesh Shuklaji

where he arranged a meeting of a good number of members of Brahman Samaj of

North America (BSNA) and each of us shared our views.

I was given an opportunity by the New Jersey Chapter of BSNA to give a three

hour long discourse on the “Scientific Application of Indian Traditional

Systems” for the benefit of all and particularly of younger generation. Dr

Umesh Shukla and Mrs Shukla arranged for a nice dinner and the meeting thus

concluded while every member dedicatedly confirming that they would stand for

the Unity of all.

I am making preparation for leaving to India as scheduled for meeting of

Brahman associations in different parts of India.

I shall be back again soon.

Yours Affectionately HARA HARA MAHADEVA DR P V SESHA SAI ASWAMEDHAYAAAJI
