Hi Everyone,
This is the report of the two presentations that happened in March 2008.
Tamil Elders Association Québec in Côte des Neiges
The president's name and phone number were given to me, so, I contacted him and offered to do a presentation. I requested an appointment to give him DVDs and printed material in Tamil and he invited me to his residence to do a presentation.
Then, on Saturday March 1 at the Tamil Elders Association Quebec in Côte des Neiges, we presented Maharaji’s message in Tamil to the members of the association. The number of members is about 50 to 55; the attendance at the event was 31 new people and 2 persons who practice the techniques of knowledge.
The presentation was simple, homely and informal. People sat around tables in groups. They had their own TV, DVD player, microphone, and speakers. We had nothing to do, except present the material and contact information.
The President and the members requested to have this presentation regularly. I was very happy and enjoyed with a nice feeling the whole day after the morning event. Six members of the association invited me to do the same presentation at their Elders association’s meeting in the West Island.
The venue was good, on the sixth floor, rented by the association for their semimonthly meetings. The building is also occupied by a library and other offices.
Tamil Elders Association, West Island.
Following the invitation by the six members of the Tamil Elders’ Association Québec in Côte des Neiges, we presented Maharaji’s message in Tamil to the members of the West Island association on Saturday March 22. The association is only six months old and the number of members is about 20 to 25. The attendance was 13 new people and 3 people who practice the techniques of knowledge (including two who live in the West Island, who came to help).
Seven members wanted to register for the Keys after viewing the Words of Peace DVD in Tamil. They were given the WOP DVD to view again and the Introduction to the Keys (ITTK) in Tamil.
The members sat around two long tables, they had their own TV and DVD player; we had nothing to do, except present the material, and contact information. The members requested to have this presentation monthly. I was happy and enjoyed a nice feeling while looking at the faces of the attendees.
The venue was the basement of a Temple used for feeding the people during special festive days. It is a large area, which can accommodate about 100 to 150 people with lots of tables and chairs. The association monthly meetings occur in this place.
