MULUND, INDIA, November 20, 2002: “Youth are blamed for being careless and useless, but in reality I feel that they are cared for less and are used less, and as a result the costliest resources of the society is getting wasted,” said Swami Atma Chaitanya, a spiritual leader from the Chinmaya Mission. Swami is in Mulund to deliver a one-week series of lectures on personality development and self-development for all age groups, but especially youth. The event has highlighted the fact that spiritualism still occupies a major part in the lives of individuals from all walks of life. “Spiritualism plays an important role in the personality development of individuals. It is the answer to modern-day ills like restlessness and lack of concentration. Those following our advice find it easy to cope with such troubles. Even people from other religions find it easy to practice their own religion after acquiring spiritualistic skills from our ancient scriptures,” Swami Atma Chaitanya said. Around 1,000 persons have attended the function since Friday. The function is being held twice a day in morning and evening sessions, and Swami is delivering spiritual lectures based on the Hindu religious books, especially Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads as well as commentaries of renowned Hindu saints, including the late Swami Chinmayananda.
