Last Thursday Meeting: Aug. 13, 2020

About 20 people joined for this meeting. We celebrated India's independence Day by playing national anthems of India and Canada, people reflecting on their experiences and thoughts about India's struggle for freedom, the partition and its aftermath, as well as songs dedicated to the love for the country. Krishna Jayanti was also celebrated by playing a Mira Bhajan and a short discourse on Lord Krishna.


This Thursday Meeting: Aug. 20, 2020

This meeting will be in two parts.

In the first part will last about 75 minutes. In it we will have our usual songs and poetry recital etc. Invariably, there will be some questions and discussion about how coronavirus could affect our lives in the months, and perhaps years, to come.

In the second part, Nand will make a presentation on the History of Secularism in India.

Please let me know well in advance, if you would like to make a presentation on some topic of common interest.
