New Delhi. From April 8-16, Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh Australia successfully conducted its national Sangh Shiksha Varg in Perth, Western Australia, in the land of the native Whadjuk people.
Varg karyavah Suresh Limbani reported that 154 shiksharthis from 6 vibhags of Australia participated and completed the varg. Of these 73 were in Prathamik varg, 68 in Pravesh and 13 participated in the Praveen varg. 42 shikshaks and prabandhaks were also present full time to ensure the success of the varg.
Arrangements were also made to take care of 27 baals whose parents were participating in the vargs.
The varg concluded with a public function on April 16. Dr. Jagadish Krishnan, MLA, Riverton, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Finance, Commerce & Women’s Interests, presided over the function. After witnessing an inspiring demonstration by the shiksharthis of the shareerik skills they learned at the vargs, he mentioned in his speech that imparting sanskars to develop mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually fit good global citizens is one of the noblest works. He attested that the effect is visible and felt by the Australian community by the tremendous contributions of the Bharatiya diaspora to the country of their karma – Australia.
While addressing the samarop function, Zonal Sampark Pramukh Vasu Ramyavaran mentioned that swayamsevaks and sevikas are the ambassadors of Bharatiya inspired Sanatana Dharma. They are role-models with impeccable character and selfless contribution towards vishwa-shanti by practicing vishwa-dharma and instilling it in our next generation. He emphasised that shakha is a simple yet profound fountain-head school where we perennially draw our inspiration, sanskars, motivation, knowledge and fitness on physical as well as intellectual planes.
