With Swami’s birthday being on the 11th of October, we dedicated our October meeting to celebrate our beloved Satguru’s birthday. At the beginning of the meeting, we were given a presentation by some of the youth members on Swami’s life story, and the mission which he has devoted his life to. We learnt about the progression of Swami’s global mission, which is established on the four pillars of providing: food for the needy, medicine for the poor, clothes for the destitute and books for the under privileged children.

We also explored and analysed a number of Swami’s quotes, which are included below. In various groups we then portrayed the main concepts of these quotes through the means of role play. The role plays highlighted the various perceptions of one quote by youth members and sparked many original ideas.
Quotes by Swami
Respecting others is true devotion.
You are related to all souls in this world.
Only when you delve within will you find purity.
Do not become a prisoner to experiences.
Accept everything equally and perceive the world through your inner eye.
Dharma is God's temple.
The true essence of life is service.
Where there is satsang, there is peace.
A Guru is the director, producer and actor.
Even something sweet when consumed in excess becomes bitter.
God knows a flower needs both darkness and light, likewise God knows what we need.
Amid the meeting, we also cut a splendid, hand crafted cake, made by one of the youth members,in honour to celebrate Swami’s birthday.
