Gayatri Pariwar of Long Island in the First Long Island’s Asian -American Grand Cultural Celebration

most important purpose of the celebration is that the Asian communities of Long Island can get together and share their cultural values.

Gayatri Pariwar of Long Island, representing India, had set up a small exhibition showing Yoga, Pranayam and portrayals of divine cultural values of India. Information regarding Dev SanskritiVishwa Vidyalaya, a university of the stature of Nalanda and Taxshila being built at Haridwar, India was shared in this exhibition.

In addition to above, a small film was also shown on a large screen using Multimedia, illustrating various cultural programs conducted by All World Gayatri Pariwar at Haridwar, India.

Also cassettes showing Indian Yoga and Pranayam were shown on the stall continuously. While talking to individuals from the neighborhood seeing the exhibition, we got surprised that many of them knew Gayatri Mantra and power of Gayatri Mantra. Moreover, they were keen to know more about Gayatri Mantra. One Yoga teacher, while visiting the GayatriPariwar stall, showed very much eagerness to know about Indian spirituality. Moreover, along with that the Yoga teacher had also agreed to show Yoga demonstration to children participating in the Sanskar Kendra managed by Gayatri Pariwarof Long Island.

The active volunteers of Gayatri Pariwar of Long Island worked very diligently for this celebration. Gayatri Pariwar of Long Island manages Sanskar Kendra for children. In this Sanskar Kendra, we are teaching children of the age group of 5 years to 16 years - Indian Culture, Yoga, Meditation, Art of Living, Hindi and Gujarati. At present we have 40 children benefiting from this Sanskar Kendra. In addition, the coming semester will be starting from September 2007. In that semester we are expecting 80 to 100 children getting admission. Please contact Pravin Kapadia at 631-254-2749 or visit www.gayatripariwarli.org for more information regarding the Sanskar Kendra.

Embrace High IdealsAchieve Excellence

(Source: http://www.akhandjyoti.org/?Akhand-Jyoti/2007/Jan-Feb2007/High-Ideals-Excellence/)In the present age, there is the pious ideal of Yugrishi Param Poojya Gurudev before us all. His sparkling

tapasvi life, the supremely high level of jivana sadhana, the spirit of sacrifice for the country, and the dharma (law of righteousness) could easily be the ideal for anybody, and it has indeed been so.

Uardhvo nah pahyamhaso ni ketuna, visvam samatrinam dah, Krdhi na urdhvancharathsya jivase, vida devesu no duvah.- Rigveda 1/36/14

Meaning: O Fire-God! You are the most exalted. Save us from sinning by the light of knowledge. Burn to ashes all our selfishness. Endow us with excellence for progress and happy life. Make us worthy of honour by the gods.

If we want to strive for excellence, we will have to embrace high ideals, because without noble ideals in life there can be no jivana sadhana at all. Without ideals, life becomes a meaningless meandering. What is the best course of life? How to walk this course? These questions in the mind remain in futile wait for an answer. The nagging feeling of not having realized one’s potential, not having used one’s capacity to the full always torments. The confused and troubled life drags on somehow but there is no joy in it, no sense of contentment.

To experience the joy of living, presence of an ideal is essential in life. This ideal could be anything – a pious thought, pious emotion or some pious and exalted personality. All the three are equally effective. Any of these can be chosen in accordance with one’s aim in life, mentality, taste and circumstances. But whatever be the selection, one must have the courage to efface oneself at this altar. Without dissolving one’s emotions, thoughts, mind and every breadth into it, the ideal does not become forceful.

Those in whose lives inspirations arose, sensibilities grew and blessings poured had all merged their entire beings in their ideals, albeit in varying ways. Mahatma Gandhi, for example, had chosen Srimadbhagvad Gita as his ideal and would call it Gita Mata (Mother Gita). Vinoba Bhave called it Gitai. The noble and profound thoughts of the Gita were the guiding principles of both great men. The path of their lives was niskama karma (selfless action) which they had named anasakti yoga (yoga sans attachment). Their love for the Gita was so deep that they used to say: “As a mother nourishes her child with her milk, so do I receive nourishment from the thought feeding by Gita Mata. Whenever I am in a fix, the Gita Mata comes to my aid and shows me the right way”.

For Chandrashekhar Azad and Bhagat Singh, love for the nation had become the supreme ideal. They had merged all their feelings and thoughts, and every breadth of life in it. Mother India was everything for them, the raison d’etre of their existence. They lived for Mother India, fought every moment for Her, and died for Her. By making this pious emotion their ideal, Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad could make their lives meaningful, contented and great. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Calling all youth members to join All World Gayatri Pariwar (AWGP) Youth Group yahoogroup (awgpyg).
