Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari, Dakshin Prant, Kerala Vibhag, organized a Mass Samparka with the karyakarthas of Punya Bhoomi Seva Samithi at Pathiyarakkara, Vadakara, in Kozhikode district. A total of 21 people attended the event, including students, mothers, fathers, and grandparents.
Punya Bhoomi Seva Samithi was established in Pathiyarakkara by like-minded individuals to promote seva activities in the region. The gathering was coordinated by Shri Manoj Ji, a karyakartha of Vivekananda Kendra. Mananeeya Radha Devi Didi, Dakshin Prant Sangathak, VRM&VK inaugurated the meeting by lighting a ceremonial lamp in front of Swami Vivekananda’s photo. The session began with a prayer, followed by a brief introduction to the seva activities of Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari.
During the event, Radha Devi Didi introduced the concept of Amrita Kutumba Sankalpa to the attendees and emphasized the importance of practicing traditional values within families. She explained the relevance of six key values, which can be summarized as the 6 BHA’s in our family:
1. Bhasha (Language): what should be our language, why matrubhasha is important and how to speak etc.
2. Bhusha (Dressing): Importance of our traditional dress code. The dress changes our attitude.
3. Bhajan: Relating oneself with Ishwara. Read, discuss and understand our scriptures.
4. Bhojan (Food): Traditional food items are important in our growth.
5. Bhavan (Home): How should be our home, systematic approach, when someone enters and how we greet them, what type of photos should be there at home etc.
6. Bhraman (Outings): Where should we go with our family members? How our bhraman can teach our younger generations about our rich tradition and feel for others.
The participants were inspired by the session and volunteered to organize a monthly Amrit Parivar Milan in the future. It is expected that at least one sankul will be formed in the area as a result of these initiatives. The meeting concluded with the recitation of the Shanti Mantra.
