ing this convention. I also express my gratitude towards the journalists, photographers and representatives who have compiled beautifully the great teachings delivered from this stage. I thank all the officers, post bearers, police officers and homeguards for their constant vigilance, and for being on duty, despite being drenched by the rain. They have contributed greatly towards the smooth running of this program.
Last but not least, I thank Paramahamsa Niranjanananda who himself is a guru, but still bows down to everyone and allows everyone to bow down to him. He is 'l' and 'we' both together. I request him to give a helping hand in transforming the hearts of everyone who has drifted away from their paths. I also request the acharya of Bihar School of Yoga, Swami Gyanprakash Saraswati, and all the other sannyasins to adopt a few nearby villages after this convention and begin, on an experimental basis, to try to see what yoga can bring to the hearts of hardened criminals. If this experimental effort is successful, then it will be a miracle for the world to look at and the principle of vasudhaiva kutumbakam shall become applicable automatically. Again, on behalf of the district administration and Munger district, I thank everybody with all of my heart.
