Seminar on “AHIMSA – The Ideal Lifestyle for an Advanced Civilization” at GNB

By HG Vishnurata das

 

Many devotees from other parts of Sumatera Island came to Gita Nagari Baru village to get the association of HH Bhakti Raghava Swami Maharaj during his recent visit. Maharaj proposed to conduct a seminar on “AHIMSA – The Ideal Lifestyle for an Advanced Civilization” on August 09, 2019, at the cultural hall building at GNB village.

The event began with Kirtan led by Vishnurata das accompanied by Narada Muni prabhu on mridanga, Yadhava Hari prabhu played the bass guitar and freshly shaved Gurukula boys played the kartalas. After the kirtan we had some dance performances by the GNB youth.

The main event i.e. the seminar by Maharaj started at 07.00 pm, sitting next to him was HG Kisora Krishna prabhu who translated Maharaj’s speech during the seminar. Maharaj presented the subject very elaborately, complete with evidence from the scriptures as well as the modern scientists’ research. He very systematically presented that actually the only solution to overcome the calamity and devastation of the world was simply by stopping our violence against mother nature and mother cows.

The seminar was of about 1,5 hours. After the seminar some devotees continued to have some discussions behind the scenes even with HG Kisora Krishna prabhu on how to pragmatically apply what had been discussed.

About 150 devotees attended the seminar and appreciated it very much. Especially the devotees from outside the GNB village felt very much inspired to live in a natural way according to what shastras teach us. Some of them got inspired to move to GNB itself.

I would like to thank all the devotees involved in making the seminar successful. I would like to name a few like our HG SadbhujaGauranga prabhu, one of the village leaders, who had been working very hard to organize the seminar along with  Yadhava Hari prabhu and Vishnurata das for translating the seminar material into Bahasa language (Indonesia).
