I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to our annual Manila Sectorial Conference which this year will be held in Surabaya, from July 3-5, 2009.
The theme of this Conference is: “Building a New Society”. As the world transits through a difficult phase and humanity searches for new solutions to its many problems, the practices and philosophy of Ananda Marga offer a ray of hope for a more fair and humanistic world. The Conference will be an opportunity for you to meet Dadas and Didis from different countries of the world who are currently working in SE Asia. There will also be a full program that will emphasize our spiritual practices as the most effective tool to strengthen ourselves to build the new society. Hence more attention will be given to Kiirtan and Sadhana Shivir which will inspire us to higher levels and encourage us to make stronger efforts to serve humanity.
So please come with family and friends to make this Conference a very grand success.
Sincerely yours,
Dada Mitrabuddhyanananda,
