The program commenced with the lighting of the lamp, followed by a patriotic song and Viveka Vani. Prizes were distributed to the participants and winners of the competitions conducted on 6th September.
The main highlight of the evening was the inspiring address by Shri Prasad Ji, Karnataka Prant Pramukh, Vivekananda Kendra. He engaged the students in a lively manner and shared motivating thoughts on Swami Vivekananda’s life and message. He emphasized that the competitions were held to encourage reflection on Swamiji’s life and teachings, and urged students to take meaningful lessons from them. He spoke about Swamiji’s role in spreading Sanatana Dharma to the West, the far-reaching impact of his Chicago address, and his call to awaken the nation upon returning to India.
Shri Prasad Ji urged everyone to consider Swamiji as a role model in their daily lives—through thoughts, prayers, and actions—in loving the country, standing up for righteousness, and nurturing a deep sense of Bharat in their hearts. He also shared about the Samskara Varga and Kendra Varga, encouraging all to participate regularly to imbibe Swamiji’s spirit. Further, he reminded karyakartas that Universal Brotherhood Day should also inspire them to renew their dedication to the nation and to the Kendra.
The evening was filled with inspiration and enthusiasm, and the utsava concluded successfully with a renewed commitment to carry forward Swamiji’s message.
The visit included engaging activities such as laughter yoga, action songs, games, and yoga sessions. The elderly residents as well as the physically challenged children enthusiastically took part in the activities, creating a joyful and vibrant atmosphere. The karyakartas, in turn, experienced the visit as deeply satisfying and rewarding, reinforcing the spirit of service and togetherness.
Hebbal Nagar Sahitya Seva Pramukh Smt. Smita was the Chief Guest for the programme and delivered a lecture on the topic ‘Women's Power’. The lecture focused on the true potential of women, obstacles faced by women and the ways to overcome them. The students participated enthusiastically in the session which concluded on a positive note to Think Big and Achieve Big with courage and confidence.
Also, Smt. Smita has conducted two Vimarsha programmes for the members of Sevika Samiti on Bhakti Yoga and Karma yoga on two different occasions.
