AYUDH USA 3rd annual retreat
The third annual AYUDH US Youth Exchange, “Give Peace a Chance,” took place from December 26 to 29, 2009 at the M.A. Center in San Ramon, CA. Led by Br. Dayamrita Chaitanya, the exchange included a multitude of spiritual, cultural, and service activities for over 65 attendees. Besides daily yoga and meditation, one of the retreat’s highlights was preparing and serving breakfast and lunch for the soup kitchen at Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco. The Church was featured for its hospitality in the 2007 movie “The Pursuit of Happyness.” Each meal served over 1,000 needy individuals. AYUDH’s positive attitudes and spirit of channeling Amma’s message of love and service was evident. “Helping at the soup kitchen made me realize how much attention and awareness is needed in doing seva. It was nice to see how we could serve Amma through different ways,” said Lizzie Corley from New York.

The Future is in your Hands

We are living in a time when there are glaring problems in the present which can assume gigantic proportions as time passes. The lists of challenges in front of us are many; Global warming; Food crisis; Water crisis; Unemployment; Poverty and Starvation; Rise in Terrorism and violence; Erosion of values in society but to name a few contained in the big list. We can hear many people showing concern and initiating discussion about these challenges. The discussions that get translated into action are few and far between. Why? Because other thoughts often find their way into our minds to try and dissuade us. For example:
“What can ‘I’ - a mere individual - do to bring about a change in the situation? My efforts are so limited. It has to be taken up by society or the Government”. Yes this is true in a way, but both society and the Government cannot be described as a person, but an entity that comprises of us individuals. We are not separate from these entities and thus have a responsibility towards them. Many have a narrow vision towards life and think:
“Let me make my own life secure and stable. Why should I be concerned about the world?” Amma gives a beautiful example of such people; it is like a person staying in the 10th floor of a building looking at the fire in the ground floor and saying:
“Why should I be worried about it? I am in the 10th floor. Let them handle it”. We are all interdependent beings and if we do not address the situation, it will soon affect us as well. The Youth have to be Problem Solvers and not Problems to be solved.
Let us look into some of the aspects of how we can shape our Future for the Good. I will call it the ABCDE of this process.
