  • A Pandemic and the Hindu Way of Life
    0 FOREWORD The strength of Mahila Shibirs has been growing year on year. Evolving from Annual National Shibirs, to Vibhag Levels in 2019 and this year, 2020, in the format of the Vibhag E-Mahila Shibirs. Covid-19 has not at all hindered the planning, progress, and execution of the truly engaging E-Shibirs year. The focus areas on skill development has allowed all mahila to grow in confidence, further develop their skills and re-enforce their understanding of what is Sevika Dharma. National and local teams have worked tirelessly in organising these Shibirs and through this, they themselves have instilled and nurtured many qualities; being steadfast, working as a team and of course endurance, all which are some key sevika samskars. Participants have set themselves on task and produced articles on the topics given to them, and for some, they have really pushed themselves and have come out of their comfort zones. In total 342 sevikas from 7 vibhags wrote and submitted 411 articles. The articles were proofread, edited, and formatted, ready for the launch of the e-book. The articles where based on wide ranging topics including the Uniqueness of Bharat, Ramayana, Home Medicines, The Science of Hindu Rituals, and the Contribution of Hindu Women. With over 500 mahilas attending nationally, we have surpassed anticipated numbers, engaged and inspired a wide range of mahila base and identified future mahila karyakartas (leaders) in vibhag (local) areas that will allow mahilas work to grow, work selflessly and contribute to our society. Fantastic work! I am inspired by your dedication.
