Chennai : HJS is participating in the summer camp organised by Shri.Rajkumar for the second consecutive year at St. Thomas Mount in Chennai. St.Thomas Mount is a predominantly Christian area where conversion is also rampant. Shri.Rajkumar, a Dharmabhimani out of personal interest and initiative is organising such summer camps for the children belonging to that area. HJS is taking balsanskar classes for these children every Friday from 8.30 am to 11am during this month of May 2013. Prarthana, Kuladevata Naamjap, Importance of Datta Naamjap, good sanskars, following dharma like birthday celebration, Shlokas to be recited while doing daily conducts, Stories of our great Saints, Patriots and Warriors, Question answer sessions, subtle experiments are some of the topics taken during these classes. Around 60 children participate in this class from the age-group of 8-14. They come from ordinary middle-class family. A few of them are Christians. Sri.Rajkumar is planning to start such classes in the suburban villages of Chennai also. He requested HJS to participate in those programs too.

Highlights :

• Children do chanting with so much enthusiasm and concentration that it extends more than the allotted time of 5 minutes.

• They by heart the shlokas taught in the class immediately.

• Everyone is ready to answer the questions asked at the end of the session.

• Some children who come to chennai for summer vacation also participate. This year also they have come to participate.

• Some of them ask serious tough questions which becomes a challenge to answer. For example –

• When we say that keeping kumkum is very important why do muslim women do not keep kumkum and why do they cover with black burqa? What is the science behind that ?

• It is told that human creation started from Adam and Eve. Then who created this world and all human beings ?

• What is meant by vibrations ?

• What are negative energies ?

• When foreign invaders of other religions invaded our country why did we let them stay here ?

• When some other countries are driving us out why should we allow them to reside here in Bharath ?
