ADDRESS BY COMMISSIONER
Sri Ashok Kumar
This is really a day of great honor for Munger and Bihar state. Today we are celebrating the Tyag Golden Jubilee of Paramahamsa Satyananda, a great master of yoga, tantra and kundalini. We are also welcoming the thousands of delegates from India and different parts of the world, who have come to participate in this World Yoga Convention. Paramahamsa Satyananda has said that yoga will emerge as a powerful world culture. Seeing you all present here in such great numbers makes us easily believe in the truth behind his words.
During this four day convention we shall have the benefit of speeches and precious. thoughts by many saints, yoga exponents, and specialists in the field of medicine. On behalf of all the citizens of Munger, we heartily welcome all the dignitaries present here in today's function. We are glad to have His Highness, Governor of the State, who despite his extremely busy schedule, has kindly agreed to inaugurate this convention. He is not only our head of state but a highly qualified thinker and philosopher in himself. His Highness has served for years in Aligarh University and in the Public Services Commission. On behalf of the reception committee we pay our heartiest tribute.
Respected Minister of State, Department of Industrial Development, Government of India, Mrs Krishna Sahi, has also pushed aside all her programs and committments to be present here in this convention and we express our heartiest gratitude for her kindness. We welcome the most respected Swami Chidanandaji Saraswatiji, President of the Divine Life Society, who has been kind enough to bless us by being present here among us. He is not only an ashram colleague of Paramahamsa Satyananda, but also a vedanta exponent of the highest order.
We also welcome and thank you all on this unique occasion for your direct and indirect help in making it a success, the citizens of Munger, intellectuals, principals of schools, all the divisions of district administration, especially the District
