“Compassion in Action” in Monterrey, Mexico

The Seventh Annual Worldwide Meeting on Human Values took place in Monterrey, Mexico, in which HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, President of Parmarth Niketan (Rishikesh, India) and Co-Chair of the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, and Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswatiji, President of the Divine Shakti Foundation and Secretary-General of Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, were warmly welcomed as Spiritual Leaders and keynote speakers. They led two special programs on “Love and Consciousness in Action” with founder/President of Organic India, Shri Bharat Mitra, one was a main keynote address and the other a longer, in depth, interactive workshop.

Pujya Swamiji said, “Oneness is the key. We must live our lives in peace not pieces, being better not bitter. We need to understand that in a world of Facebook we must face our own book, see where we stand, asking ourselves, ‘How have we served our global family with our thoughts, words and actions?’”

He continued, “We can connect to the internet but must not forget our divine innernet, because as Mahatma Gandhiji said, “There is no point in moving so fast if we are moving in the wrong direction.’ We must ensure that while we expand technologically we also must expand in our consciousness and stay grounded to our common human values, which is so incredibly crucial for our sustainable, harmonious and holistic future.”
