On way to Bolpur, visited the newly inaugurated Hindu Milan Mandir at Bharat Sevashram Sangh, Bhatar. Was warmly welcomed by Swami Sureshananda Ji. Paid obeisance and also saw martial drills being performed by young boys from the area.
Was a delightful evening with Mr Ricky Kej, full of interesting conversation, discussing history, Baul tradition, Santiniketan, environmental consciousness & of how PM Modi is radiating India’s unique environmental message globally! You are a true messenger of “Shanti Samsara”, shine on Ricky!
Was happy to meet Shri Abhijit Halder, DG, International Buddhist Confederation. Discussed a number of geo-cultural issues, especially India’s present civilisational outreach.
