On Saturday 31st March, a group of
enthusiastic and inquisitive Pandava
Sena girls gathered at the Manor for a
long-awaited girls Maha Sanga, an in-
teractive session designed to encour-
age the youth to share their opinions
on a chosen topic, guided and taught
by a guest speaker.
The tone of the event was set by a
melodious opening kirtan, followed
shortly by the introduction of the guest
speaker, invited by popular demand,
Ananga Sakhi Devi Dasi. Her aim was
to conduct a ‘sanga’, meaning ‘asso-
ciation that benefits the spirit soul’.
In groups the topic ‘Relationships be-
tween males and females as revealed
by Lord Krsna in the Vedic literatures’
was discussed. The emphasis was
placed upon the importance of chasti-
ty, and various relevant excerpts from
the Vedic scriptures were presented.

of the
such as Sati, Savitri, Sita devi and
Draupadi were used as role models to
illustrate the ideal behaviour of women.
Ananga Sakhi addressed the subject
with sensitivity, style and a genuine
mood of compassion.
This event was an eye-opener for
many of the girls who did not previously
realise the importance and value placed
on women in Vedic culture. It was
presented in the traditional ISKCON
Pandava Sena style: enriched with an
aura of excitement, youthful energy and
an inspirational approach to the topic in
question.
The enthusiasm resulting from the
Maha Sanga was channelled into an
energising and refreshing Harinam on
the streets of London!
