LONDON, U.K., October 27, 2003: The Vivekananda Center in London had a busy week according to this recently submitted report. Jay Lakhani writes, in part, “On October 22nd we were invited by Coventry University to participate at a ‘Peace and Reconciliation’ talk where we presented Hindu ideas of Religious Pluralism as the key for resolving the issue of strife in the name of religion. On October 24 we were invited to do a religious seminar for about 100 sixth form youngsters (17 and 18 year olds) at Edgware High School. On October 25, perhaps for the first time in the history of the Anglican church, a strictly Anglican body arranged a one-day retreat for its mainly Christian congregation to be led by a Hindu. The theme of the retreat was silence and meditation. On October 27 we were invited to address a large meeting of the Metropolitan Police Authority drawn mainly from Scotland Yard. We focused on the important contribution Hindus have already made in professional fields and even more important contribution Hindus will make towards restoring the spiritual health of the host nation.”
