GUYANA, August 12, 2024 (Stabroek News): Hundreds of Hindu youths from various regions across the country gathered last Saturday for the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha Youth Summit. The two-day event, held at the Pandit Reepu Daman Persaud Dharmic Sanskritik Kendra in Prashad Nagar, in Georgetown, was themed “Empowering Hindu Youth Leadership: Leveraging Hindu Wisdom and Cultural Expression for Positive Social Change.” This summit marked the 50th anniversary of the GHDS and aimed to empower Hindu youth leadership, leverage Hindu wisdom, and promote cultural expression for positive social change. It included productive discussions, informative sessions, and networking opportunities, designed to foster conversations around the theme and drive meaningful change.

High Commissioner of India Dr Amit Telang opened the inaugural Youth Summit by emphasizing that religion encompasses more than just worship. Noting the achievements of Indian civilization over thousands of years, the High Commissioner said: “We must realize that this concept is a very broad concept. Everyone who believes in certain values and who believes in certain traditions and a certain way of life…irrespective of which religion you practice you are still a Hindu that is the concept you have to keep in mind when you talk about Hinduism. It is a very broad concept”. He pointed to a reference by the Masters of Ceremony to Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (one family) and said that “the global family is not a new concept. We have always believed …that …we may be living in different parts of the world…we may have different skin colors, we may look different, we may believe in you know different religions but at the end of the day we are all human beings. And that bond of humanity connects us and that is the concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”.
