Srila Paramadvaiti Maharaja at the World Hindu Congress New Delhi

 

 The World Hindu Congress was an important conjunction where the concerns of the World Conscious Pact to increase the global awareness of the ancient wisdom became one of the principal topics. Together with members of the WVA – Vishva Vaishnava Raj Sabha many issues were addressed specially the preservation of one of the holiest sites of Hindu tradition called Braj Mandal. The devotees representatives of South America joined with the leaders of the Hindu tradition from all over the world and had very important exchanges. We can only hope that these good initiatives will take off and become a very substantial change for a better future of Vrindavan, of education, of the situation of women and of the whole world as well as the situation of our brothers and sisters in animal bodies.
