Important demonstrations of self-defence training for women were presented during the programme. Through this programme, an inspiring message of self-defence and self-reliance was conveyed. The chief speaker Major Maitreyi Dandekar was felicitated by Mrs Purnima Joshi, while Mrs Maheshwari Sarnobat was felicitated by Mrs Chitra Chaudhary of the Bharari Foundation.
Self-defence training is essential for every woman ! – Major Maitreyi Dandekar
Women must display courage, confidence and alertness in times of crisis. Considering the present adverse circumstances and the incidents occurring around us, instead of expecting others to protect them, every woman must necessarily undergo self-defence training.
Success is certain when actions are performed while remembering God ! – Mrs Maheshwari Sarnobat, International ‘Ironman’
The ‘Ironman’ competition involves extremely challenging tasks such as swimming 4 kilometres in the sea, cycling 180 kilometres and running 72 kilometres consecutively. This competition takes place in very adverse conditions. I was able to complete it solely through the strength of chanting God’s Name and spiritual practice. Participants are given 17 hours to complete the race; however, with the grace of my Guru, I completed it in 15 hours. While practising, I would contemplate the principle of the Water Deity while swimming, remember Shri Ram and Hanuman while cycling, and maintain spiritual communion with God while running. Because of this, I never felt tired. Young women too should remember God and maintain spiritual communion during all their actions. Only then will they certainly achieve success !
Special felicitation of Ranraginis from Jalgaon
Ranragini Kamini Dhande from Jalgaon, who has achieved remarkable success in cycling through sheer determination despite her age and has cycled nearly 50 thousand kilometres so far, was felicitated by the dignitaries.
Similarly, Ranragini Hetal Pipariya from Jalgaon, who created a record in the Limca Book of Records by performing 500 Surya Namaskars, 100 Yogasanas and 75 Yogic Mudras in 150 minutes, was also specially felicitated by the dignitaries.
The programme began with prayers offered at the feet of Adishakti Shri Durgadevi and Jalgaon’s Gramadevata Shri Ram, followed by the chanting of a Shloka. The programme was compered by Mrs Kshitija Deshpande, while Gayatri Bari explained the objective of the programme. The special exhibition of information panels displayed at the venue received a good response.
