A Hindu Lifestyle Seminar 2011, was organised by Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul Parivar – UK in the holy presence of Sadguruvarya Shastri Shree Madhavpriyadasji Swami at Shree Katchhi Leva Patel Samaj, London during July 22 to 24, 2011.
In the opening session, seminar was began with the Panch-Upahcar Poojan of Shree Hari which was followed by a get together. Saints expressed greetings to all participants with the Tilak on forehead and distributed the pious memory of Pujyapad Shree Jogi Swamiji as Prasadi Sugar.
The seminar was set on the theme of PEACE OF MIND. During the seminar Pujya Swamiji explained the cause of mental unhappiness, solutions to this and the meditation of Murti of God, the very contrivance for the eternal peace of mind. He added that we must keep the Bhagwan Shree Krishna bestowing the preaching of GEETA on the battle field. This battle field is eternal. Give away is not the solution to any problem. But to face it with the placid intellect and self confidence gives the way to come out of it. Firm willpower and appropriate direction can get cause of unhappiness uprooted. The torchbearer like Bhagwan Shree Krishna maybe in form of saints or any great personality, leads to the way to came out from the state of unhappiness. In any unsupportive situation of life the prayer from the bottom of the heart and the blessings of the great saints give the way to come out from the endless darkness.
