Thanks to the selfless efforts of some of the good-samaritan individuals at ISKCON Badshahpur, Vedic seminars are being conducted at various localities in Gurgaon. These seminars are aimed at educating people on how to tackle the increasing problems of stress, anxiety, depression and how to bring inner happiness. Lots of people are attending these 6 days sessions every weekend with great enthusiasm.

The 6 days sessions titled DISCOVER YOUR PERMANENT HAPPINESS are conducted every weekend so that everyone can attend with comfort and ease. This is a free social service being offered by ISKCON.

What inspires ISKCON to conduct seminars on topics of such complex nature?

“Every day we are reading in newspapers that – young people working in corporates are suffering heart failures, young college students being arrested for road rage or brawl in the pub, or even worse, under-graduates from some of the country’s most coveted colleges committing suicides.

Have you ever thought…why is this happening in the modern society that is so progressive and providing all comforts of life? Often, we put the blame to the administration for failing to stop such problems. But, the roots of this problem lie somewhere else.

What is the solution to such problems?

As a spiritual organization, we have been always working towards improving the social fabric to bring peace and happiness into the lives of people, especially the young generation who are the future of our nation. To tackle such problems and related issues, our highly qualified team members have prepared a seminar that is aimed at addressing the main root of these problems. The seminar offers solutions to wipe out these menaces from the life of the individual, and society as a whole,” said Madhu Mangal Das, President ISKCON Gurgaon.

The modules of the seminar are based on Vedic ethos & values and have benefited hundreds of individuals in cities like Mumbai, New Delhi and many more. It has been shown that the participants have tremendously benefitted after attending these seminars.

“We have initiated a series of programs titled ‘Discover Your Permanent Happiness’ (DYPH), based on the teachings of Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita. Spread over 6 sessions, of two hours each, DYPH has been designed specifically for audiences who want to rise above the challenges that life poses and deal with stress, anger and emotional issues with positive and proven methods of success,” said Radha Kishori Devi Dasi, Programme director of the seminar.

“We have conducted these seminars in several localities of Gurgaon like -Uppal’s Southend Sec 49, Tulip Group of Societies Sec 69; Pioneer Park Sec 61; Bestech Park View Sec 67, Devinder Vihar Sec 56, Park View City 1 Sohna Road, Rail Vihar Sec 47 and many more.

Lots of individuals hailing from different spectrum of the society are participating in these seminars. Amongst them are college students, professionals from the corporate world, entrepreneurs, businessman, and even housewives have joined and immensely benefited,” said Rasika Keshav Das, a programme initiator and professional from a Gurgaon based IT Company.

The participants also shared their experiences after attending the seminar; “I was bogged down by stress due to my workload. But here I have been taught how to come out of stress and anxieties. The methods of meditation and diet control helped me a lot. I am trying to follow the learnings and I am very much impressed,” said Meenakshi Kapoor, a participant.

Nikhil Agarwal, a banker, has a different experience to tell. “Whatever means of happiness I tried to cultivate in life were temporary and always related with monetary factor but participating in the seminar I have come to know that our Vedic scriptures give very simple and useful tips to cultivate in life and be happy. I regret that I did not join such classes before,” explains Nikhil with a sense of satisfaction.
