REVEREND
SWAMIJI
MR. &
MRS. DESAI AND FRIENDS:
It gives me great pleasure to welcome Swamiji amongst us today. When I say that we have been eagerly waiting for this day, I know I am not alone in feeling so. Thousands of L&T-ites have eagerly awaited this evening.
I also
welcome all of you who have come out in great numbers to listen to Swamiji.
Whereas it
is my pleasure to welcome you, it will be your pleasure to listen to Swamiji
talk about
“Secrets of Efficiency”
Thousands of
years ago, on the battle field of Kurukshetra, Arjuna told Lord Krishna,
“I am your
disciple, you be my teacher”
It was then
that Lord Krishna gave Arjuna the divine knowledge of Karma-Yoga, and finally
said,
“Now with a
strong determination, arise, O son of Kunti and fight this holy-war against the
evil.”
This evening
I request Swamiji to accept 7000 L& -ites as his disciples and tell us the
relevance of Karma Yoga to the men and women of this industrial society in the
year 1985.
Thank you
H.C. PAREKH
