Mauritius organized its first Youth Retreat for the youth of Saiva Siddhanta Church on the 10th to 11th December 2011 at the Blue House at Trou D'eau Douce, on the east coast of the island. The weather was splendid. The main theme of the retreat was on Bodhinatha's newly released Character Building Workbook. Youth participants came forward to present and explain the Character Qualities therein. They also had much fun activities and learned a lot of good things from this retreat. The photos in this slide gives a good picture of all the wonderful things that took place during this youth event. Aum.

On the last day of the visit to Mauritius, Nov 23, Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami speaks to Saiva Siddhanta Church sishyas and students about how our youth, especially in Asia where the educational system is very demanding, often don't have time in their school years to join the parents for an hour of sadhana in the morning. We need to create more practices for youth to spiritualize their daily life which only take a few minutes. This is a fulfillment of our late Gurudeva's statement that Hinduism needs to continuously adapt to modern circumstances. He mentions the next book for youth which will be about Lord Ganesha and developing a relationship through keeping a small image of Ganesha in the youth's bedroom.
