We were in for an enlighting experience the moment we
arrived at the chalet.
Upon arrival at around 4.30pm, we were allocated our
rooms and proceeded to the main chalet where bhajans
kicked off at 6pm sharp. It lasted for an hour, during
which we learnt a few new bhajans and were immediately
sucked into the spiritual mood. Bhajans ended at 7p.m,
everyone had dinner and proceeded back to their respective
chalets.
The next day, everyone participated actively in the
game 'Win, lose or draw' hosted by Brother Nirav and
Brother Arun. The participants learnt and understood
more of Swami's quotes. The game required a lot of teamwork
and discipline from the participating groups. It also
encouraged a lot of interaction and the fusion of ideas
between the young and the old as teamwork was the key
to victory.
The following day, the young adults came up with a
motion to debate on. 'Seva alone without daily meditation
and prayer is sufficient for an individuals spiritual
upliftment'. The sisters opposed the motion while the
brothers defended it. It was tough competion till the
end as both sides came up with brilliant points to support
their stand. At the end of about an hour, the sisters
emerged winners to the suprise of many.
Bro Nirav: "The key to effective
learning is independent of the time spent instead it
depends in how effectively you spend that time."
Bro Dinesh: "At the end
of the day, it does not matter whether you win or lose.
What does matter is that you have learnt something new
from your failures as the old saying goes, Failure
is the stepping stone to success."
