still finds time to volunteer for Maratha Mandal of Canada and USA as seen from
his report:
"Namaste all:
Last week BMM Samaj, a Maratha
Mandal Community in USA and Canada whose members are from Maharashtra State,
India, hosted their 10th USA/Canada conference in Calgary. There were about 2000
Maharahstrian living in USA and Canada attending this conference which they hold
every two years somewhere in USA or Canada. I was volunteer at this Calgary
conference. While helping in taking video of this conference, I saw lots
of workshops organized for the youth and for
the adults. The ones I really liked were workshops on Eyesight; Life
after 55 The New Direction; and Yoga; Challenge facing the Marathi youths, youth
direction, youth program, and the opening ceremony speech by Dr. Bhang, the
inventor of Super Computer made in India and sold to Germany, New Zealand,
Singapore and New Brunswick.
They have lots of community
based program in India to assist under-privileged families and also students
loan Trust fund. Many programs at this conference were also
based on VED. Their religious faith and
philosophy is identical to our Prajapatio's and also they were emphasizing more
on youths and how to carry on our generation without loosing the Marathi
identity. There were many doctors and lawyers who gave the speeches.
They had an excellent approach and unity towards all their programs. All
the program at this conference were organized by Western Canada Martha
Association, which consists of 14 families from Manitoba to BC.
I will be mailing their conference agenda to many of you to receive the feed
back on its content and how we Prajapatio can do the same thing for our unity
and samaj seva. I believe it is very important for all of us to organize the
very first Prajapati World Youth Conference.
I have called and talked to many Prajapatio. All have agreed that we should have
one and all agreed it is a good idea. How do we take off from ground zero and
get organized?....... It is not one man job or
dream...... We all have to support each other unite and do what
is the best for our Prajapati community. We all are one big community regardless
where ever we have settled. I will be sending another mail concerning the magic
word "UNITY". So look out for it...... In the mean time let us have
suggestion and participation for this Prajapati World Youth Conference. I will
request our webmaster, Bhavin Champaklal Mistry, of Edmonton , Alberta to
create a special Web page for this FIRST PRAJAPATI WORLD YOUTH CONFERENCE.
All those interested in participating in any manner of form in the
FIRST PRJAPATI WORLD YOUTH CONFERENCE are requested to
