Mrs. Bindu Trivedi (Corporator and Social Activist) and Dr. Ritu Jain (Senior Oncologist, Jaslok Hospital, Mumbai) were chief guests of the event.
Rajyogi BK Nikunj while speaking on the occasion said – “Only 1 day should not be celebrated as Women’s day, infact all 365 days are Women’s Days. Each Woman has great potential within herself and has the courage to change the World around her.” He encouraged all Women to realize their subtle powers and use them judiciously.
Rajyogini Brahmakumari Nalini Didi Ji congratulated all women and said they all must be proud of being a Woman especially an Indian Woman. She said – “Don’t give anyone the remote control to control your emotions. A Woman generally is considered frail and often dominated by her Father, Husband, Brother, Boss, etc. But now it is the time to revolutionize mindsets.”
Mrs. Bindu Trivedi Ji praised the dignity of A Woman, who in the form of Goddess Saraswati, Laxmi, Durga gives mankind the most sought after treasures of Knowledge, Wealth and Power respectively. Dr. Ritu Jain emphasized the importance of Healthy Life and how Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Social wellbeing is essential for a healthy Life.
