BK Mruthyunjaya bhai and BK Banarasi bhai participated as chief guests at a public event “Youth for Transformation. Dialogue about Values in Education” held at Lighthouse, the Brahma Kumaris Centre in St. Petersburg.
Mr. Anatoli Likhtin, Head of Department, Russian Academy of Economics and Civil Service under the President of the Russian Federation, said, “Parents and educators invest a lot of energy and resources in raising the younger generations, however we can see that the lack of values in the lives of young people make those huge investments go waste.”
A detailed video introduction of the “Nasha Mukt Bharat” campaign (“Addiction-Free India”) caused a round of applause from the audience. Dr. Banarasi, one of the main instruments behind the project, said, “We have done a study which shows that the lifestyle based on raja yoga meditation enables 97% of substance addicts to leave their addiction without any withdrawal symptoms.”
(SUBHEAD)BK Mruthyunjaya bhai said, “This education is not just for “learning, earning and living”, but for overcoming all the weaknesses of our consciousness, removing negative, impure and unnecessary thoughts.”
Ms. Elena Kalinina. Rector of St. Petersburg Social and Economic Institute, president of Women’s Alliance, said, “Your idea that thoughts transform one’s character and that our joint spiritual decisions can transform the world is very important.”
Prof. Victor Romanov, president of St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, former Olympic champion and world champion in bicycle racing, thanked the guests from Mount Abu “for another subtle and deep lesson for me and all of us”.
