Title

Day 1 of International Spiritual Conference, Salem, India

Description

From 1 to 4 December 2005, an international spiritual conference on The responsibility of youth, women and common man, was organised in Salem under the auspices of Swamiji. The conference was organised across three days, one day each for highlighting the responsibilities of youth, women and common man respectively. Eminent personalities from various fields of activity participated in the conference and voiced their opinions on the subject. Swamiji delivered a discourse on the subject at the end of each day for the public.

The core message of the 3-day conference was that the youth should explode in 360 degrees and discover the infinite potential that lies dormant in them, instead of treading already trodden paths and falling into familiar patterns all the time. When they explore and explode, they will take up tremendous responsibility in society effortlessly. Women should fully express their feminine energy; they will then automatically play their roles effectively in society. Every Common man should drop his mental setup of linked thoughts and be like an un-clutched fresh Being every moment. When the weight of this shaft of thoughts is no more, he will take on responsibility seamlessly on a large scale.
