First Girls\u2019 Mela at Sri Mayapur International School.
\nMayuri Pillai: Saturday the 6th of February hosted the first Girls\u2019 Mela at SMIS. A nice group of girls over the age of fourteen gathered at the main campus to partake in the planned weekend\u2019s events. HG Devaki Mataji, a senior disciple of HH Niranjana Swami gave an inspiring two day seminar on \u201cFascinating Womanhood\u201d, presenting the transformation from materialistic views on womanhood to spiritual views, and thus motivating our enthusiasm.
\nThe seminar concluded with a lunch feast in the open air. At 6:30 pm, after sunset we met back at school after the Hatti Procession. We sat around the bonfire, cooking dinner to the company of an upbeat kirtan, followed by a game of \u201cCapturing the Flag in Pitch Black\u201d. It was fast approaching midnight when we finally managed to get to sleep, exhausted from \u201cTruth & Dare\u201d and stuffed with the night prasadam of soup, buttered buns and fire roasted potatoes.
\nThe next morning we performed darshan arati to Gaura Nitai and had a quick breakfast prior to the second day of the seminar. We performed humorous little skits summarizing the topics of previous day\u2019s discussions before mataji began to speak.
\nThe two-day course delivered a deep insight into various prospects, from a woman\u2019s position in vedic culture to being able to advance in Krishna Consciousness as a youth. The whole group felt enlightened and benefited at the end and inspired to keep trying to make further progress.
\nThe first Girl\u2019s Mela was a great success and we are already planning for the next one! Please come and join the next Girls\u2019 Mela\u2026.!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
