Vivekananda Day in Harrow. (13th October)

[Guest guest]

Dear List

 

Let me share my experience of the

Vivekananda Festival held today at the Harrow Civic Centre.

 

We had quite a few politicians present including the local

Member of Parliament and the local Member of the European

parliament as well as many local councillors and the Mayors

of Harrow and Brent.

 

Our youngsters performed a short play called

Gospel of Vivekananda.... The final lines of the play

said: - " This Gospel is still an unfolding story and

remains unwritten. In days to come it will be written in such

glorious terms that mankind will know for certain that it is one

with God. "

 

The politicians commented..... " they did not know that

someone like this Vivekananda existed " !!

 

In my concluding talk I emphasised that the solution

to the very serious problems the world faces today

lies in the pluralistic teachings that come from Vivekananda.

I concluded......Spirituality is an emotive issue that generate

great deal of passion. If we do not learn how to harness this

force for the good of mankind it can easily get corrupted and

run riot in our society.

 

By the grace of Sri Ramakrishna

the programme generated a great deal of appreciation.

 

The councillor suggested that from now on

a day in October will be designated as Vivekananda day in Harrow.

Dear Jay,

when " Vivekananda Day " is clebrated not only in Harrow but in every

corner of the world. You've done a great job!!
