Universal Brotherhood Day Celebrations - Samapan
The Universal Brotherhood
Day celebration came to a grand finale today, September 19, 2015, with the prize
distributions and a unique event called "Vanichithrapuja". The
concluding function began with a short prayer, lighting of the ceremonial brass
lamp by two 'child' Vivekanandas, Ma. Lakshmi Didi, and Swami Nandatmajananda.
Ma. Lakshmi Didi, transformed the moment to September 11, 1893, and the
description of the event at Chicago, took each and everyone present on a journey
back in time to visualize the magnificent event when the world stood dazzled to
hear the saffron robbed, monk from India, give a soul-stirring speech about
tolerance and universal acceptance. Swami Nandatmajananda, of Ramakrishna Math, present editor of Prabhuda Keralam, held the audience
spellbound to the drawing of a beautiful portrait of Swami Vivekananda to the
tunes of a song in the praise of the Swami by Sutapa Didi. Later Swami Nandatmajananda
in his address to the gathering recounted an event in the life of Charles
Darwin.
Darwin was not very keen in visiting the
church on Sunday's. So when his family spend their time at church he would
visit a nearby colony of underprivileged people and take 10 children out to the
nearby city and buy them whatever they liked. The joy he experienced in seeing
the children enjoying the day was far greater than the required visit to
church. On weekend an Afro-American mother came to him with her child and
requested that Darwin take that child to the city. Darwin stated that we had
already selected the 10 children and he cannot include an extra. However after
repeated request from the Mother and her appeal that her child had never
visited the city and that they are too poor to even have a proper meal a day,
Darwin agreed. The child was thrilled, and had a good time in the city, was
able to have some food and move around with the other children. Late in the
evening Darwin got the children back and left them with their parents. While
Darwin was leaving the 11th child, called, came running to him and asked
"Are you Jesus". The joy that
Darwin could give the child, brought Darwin closer to the Almighty than the
dedicated worshippers.
Blessed are those who spend time with
the needy, to share their sorrow and pain and in the process get peace,
happiness for the self and bring in joy
and harmony to others.
Swamiji gave away prizes for the
individuals and teams for the different events like Painting, Elocution(Mal and
Eng), Narration(Mal and Eng), and Quiz.
The ceremony came to a close with the
chanting of the Shanti Mantra.
