________________ I am certain that the impressions, the learning and the energy of the conference will be with me for a long time to come. But it is not the conference alone. For me, it was the conclusion of an intense period of yoga study here in India, which effectively began at Atma Darshan Yogashram. When I listened to the speeches at Munger, it became clear to me that I had learned a new language, a new world of concepts, practices and truth. The macrocosm is a reflection of the microcosm, and the environmentally and ethically disastrous state of our world is a reflection of man's inner chaos. We all have a responsibility, to ourselves and to humanity to create light and love out of that chaos, and manifest our divinity now. I believe that this is the true purpose of yoga. During my time in India, I have been blessed with wonderful teachers. I only hope that I will be able to live up to their examples and the examples of those I have met in Munger, in helping to spread yoga as a unifying and healing force in a divided and wounded world. Hari Om Tat Sat. Most Respected Swamiji. Hari Om, Om Tat Sat Ruthi Soudack Jain Education International I am writing this letter to express my heartfelt feelings. First of all I would like to congratulate you on the complete success of the recently concluded International Yoga Convention. I witnessed your presence at every moment, in every place, be it the reception of delegates, guests, devotees, saints or their accommodation, the canopy or stage management or kitchen arrangements, and in the precarious situation arising due to the torrential rains. Everything went off very well and was organized with such clarity, love and friendship that it could have concluded thus only by the of your divine energy. grace Patna 400 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
