Sydney, May 8: The Sydney Chapter of the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) held a 5 day
residential youth camp between 22 and 27 April 2013 at Yerrinbool Bahai Centre
of Learning.  35 Youths / students of both genders aged between the school
grades of 8 and 11 participated in this challenging event. 
The key concepts and activities explored at the camp were Yoga,
Fitness, competitive games, Workshops and discussions about key issues that the
Youth face on a day to day basis.  Specific attention was given to the
Leadership value of Sewa or Service.
The camp was blessed by many notable and prominent personalities from
the Australian and Hindu diasporas. The youth were riveted by the visit by the
Hon. Victor Dominiello, Minister for NSW Governement.  Being of a young
age and a prominent spokesperson for Youth affairs, he highlighted the need for
service within the Australian community.  Later on, the minister
generously spent his valuable time with the youth answering their questions
over a sumptuous vegetarian meal.  He also highlighted the good work being
done by HSS in promoting the positive integration of Hindu and Australian
values which subsequently contributed to a robust multicultural Australian
society.
The views and thoughts
presented by the minister were reinforced by Saumitra Gokhale, the
International Coordinator for HSS.  He emphasised the need for Younger
generation to pursue the path of leading a simple and purposeful life with a
focus on contributing back to this society
