Following resolutions were adopted in the meeting unanimously:- Growing Intolerance Ever since the BJP came into power under the leadership of Narendra Modi, the sangh parivar forces are trying their level best to impose their theocratic as well as religious fundamental ideas on the national polity of our country. The venomous speeches of Hindu fanatic leaders including Members of Parliament belong to BJP created an atmosphere of fear psychosis among the minorities. The ruling clique is keeping criminal silence over the issues and doing little to allay the fears of minorities. Price Rise The people of India voted against the UPA and brought the BJP into power on two important issues ie; price rise and corruption.

Foreword The association we seek, in ignorance, with worldly minded people leads to bondage. But the same association, if cultivated with holy men, leads to non- attachment .... [Srimad Bhaagavatam, Canto 3, Chapter 23, Shloka 55] A distinct urge to seek clear and correct answers to genuine questions is an indication that a person is now ready to tread the path of seeking and eventual fulfillment. The only requirement is that the seeker must develop genuine sraddha (attention) to find answers and do sadhana regularly. In our age-old Guru-sishya parampara (teacher- student tradition), involved in the ancient Gurukula mode of imparting spiritual wisdom, it is enjoined on the students to approach the Guru with utmost humility and earnestness. The Gita says: “With reverential salutations do you approach them- the wise men who have known the Truth. Serve them, and enquire from them with due respect, until your doubts are clarified. These wise men will impart the knowledge of this divine Truth to you.” (Chapter 4, sloka 34).
