went for a visit outside mandir and came back quickly.
September 3: Doctors Conference
Today morning there was an event in mandir. It's called doctors
conference. Nearly 200 doctors from all over the world are here
for the event. And in the morning event Swami gave discourse
and few other doctors gave speeches. There are going to be some
other programs in the evening. In the discourse Swami talked
about atma. The whole event lasted few hours in the morning.
The event only finished just now at around 11:30 am. It was
unusual to hear bhajans at 11:30 am in the afternoon. Then
prasadam was given, appropriately today's prasadam was
apples and we all know the saying eating an apple a day keeps
the doctors away.
