RAWA Cultural Program
इस कार्यक्रम के दौरान, सभी प्रतिभागियों ने जिस उत्साह और ऊर्जा के साथ भाग लिया, वह वास्तव में सराहनीय है। उनकी सक्रिय भागीदारी और उनकी सकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण ने इस कार्यक्रम को एक अद्वितीय आयोजन बना दिया।
Many thanks for organizing such a remarkable spiritual festival in our nation’s capital. While the accommodation was limited compared to the attendance, your presentations, especially by Dada Haratmanand, Shri Narang Ji, and Shri Bhalla Dada, were outstanding. We deeply appreciate your dedication and planning, which have truly inspired us.
However, we felt that the reporting session by global Dadas to their teams could have been better prepared, especially in this digital era where regular supervision and RDS sessions are essential.
Your hard work has set a powerful example, and we are now more committed than ever to serving society and ensuring humanity reaches its highest potential. Thank you again for your invaluable contribution.
Best regards.
