I am so happy and proud to read the above article in the Asian Voice of the 6th Jan., 2018. It was amply commendable that on 11th Dec., 2017 Lord Popat and Lord Gadhia hosted this historic 150th Recital by Shri Dhruv Chhatralia. First time at Parliament, under the auspices of Shyam's 3rd Gita Gyan Maha Yagna. It was done by Saloni Belaid and 27 teachers of 340,000 Gita students of 161 countries! It was a rare feat for Gita Jayanti when Lord Krishna explained and elaborated wisdom of Gita to his devotee and friend Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Leaders of 8 religions were also invited to celebrate and partake of Gita Gyan. Lord Popat further explained the significance of gita and was also presented the ‘Translation of Bhagavad Gita' by Dr. Radhakrishnan, India's ex President.
Like Lord Popat, other Lords and MPs should also organize such events to keep Hindu Culture Alive for Future Generations! Besides, in the same Issue of AV, there was an Article on Will Smith, Hollywood Superstar! He recently came to Mumbai for the Premiere of his Film 'Bright' for a day with other Actors and Director David Ayer. He said he likes India and Its Culture! To my Surprise he said he has read Bhagavad Gita 90% and like to finish it. He plans to come to India next time for more days and will awaken his Inner Arjuna and visit Rishikesh, Haridwar! He also said our famous Actor Akshay Kumar is his Close Friend. In his previous visit he gave him a Party and food was so delicious, it was the Best he tasted in Life!
Today is also the 68th Anniversary of India Republic Day, God Bless India and ALL Indians!
