16 Dec.'12. A peaceful co-existence in the society can be maintained by taking care of eachother, particularly to those who are neighbours, love them and share your comforts to them, learn each others' culture and help them specially to elevate their consciousness to Krishna consciousness. With this good faith, the Platform for Bhutanese and Vedic Cultural Integration in The Netherlands launched the music and meal Sankirtan event.
The first in series, on 16th December, this platform's event was very successful. The program began at 15hrs with full swing of ecstatic music and singing bhajan. About 25 participants gathered among whom there were professional singers and music players. As the tradition of the Vedic culture, one sings the hymn and the rest follows him. In this way everyone present were fully engaged and actively participated. This was very joyous moment; they felt.
Those stalwards His Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj, Mahavishnu Swami Maharaj and Navayogendra Swami Maharaj particularly adviced this way of integration having seen the misarable condition of Bhutanese and Nepalese in particular. This way of life style will make the life of those involved happy, they told. Those fortunate ones among the Bhutanese who immigrated to the Netherlands, would come up to take this advantage, however experiance showed till now is that, most will neglect this opportunity owing to their prejudices, like thier own selective social and political affinity with whom they want to associate with or reject. The unfriendly manner against the fellow refugees was shown by the very founder of the oragnisation- BCN on its foundation day.
Yet no improvement to foster cohessive engangement for each other's welfare has been shown, however sporadic program was heard of being held among the selective members of them. Not everyone is informed of nor welcomed in thier programs. But this Platform BVCN welcomes everyone, irrespective of the faith and background, not only Bhutanese but all those who are interested.
At the end of this music and meal sankirtan program the prayers were offered collectively with aarati and then enjoyed the sumptious meal.
The next objective is to promote vegetarinism and refrain from toxic stuff.
This way it is hoped that unity can be brought among the cluster of people with different background however individual choice is respected.
