Editorial Note

Kewal Ahluwalia.

Out of the 17 conferences held by the Arya Pratinidhi Sabha America I think I have attended about fourteen of them (Including the three in Toronto) and the question was always asked as to what was the outcome and what was the follow up of any of the resolutions or decisions taken in any of these conferences. There was usually no response from any body. That was all changed after the conference in Houston in 2006. The Executive committee that was formed at that time decided to start a newsletter to keep in touch with all the Arya Samajs in North America and invite input from them on regular basis and pass on the out come of the decisions.

"The main highlight of the 17^th Maha Sammelan held in Dallas was the three workshop sessions to discuss a) defining ways to implement the DAV School curricula uniformly
across North America; b) identifying ways to make learning of Vedic teachings simple and fun-loving for kids; and c) incorporating yoga, meditation and Pranayam in to the Satsang proceedings.  The energy and intensity of discussions in these workshops were a testimony to the genuine interest and concern shown by the participants in these carefully chosen workshop topics.  Stay tuned for a detailed description of the workshop outcomes with deliverables and specific action plans in the next issue."
