Atlanta, Dec 2012: GHHF, Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, in its efforts to protect, preserve, promote and maintain Hindu culture across the globe, organized a seminar on “The Power of Tolerance and Management Tactics of Karya Sidhi Anjaneya Swamy”, at Alpharetta Adult Activity Center, Alpharetta, GA on 18th November,2012.  This program was initiated by Rama Sharma Kasibhatla of Atlanta. The scholastic discourse was delivered by eminent scholar, Dr. C. L. Prabhakar, professor of Vedas, at Hindu University of America, Florida.  The professor is also Director of NadaVedadhyana Kendra (Regd), Bangalore, and president of World Association of Vedic Studies (WAVES) USA, Bangalore Chapter.

The event started with the Ganesh prayer sung by Phani Dokka followed by a brief introduction of the speaker by Venkat Chennubhotla.  The speaker then mesmerized the audience with his wonderful speech citing many real time examples that were eye-opening and motivating to the audience. The speaker touched various topics from the life of Lord Hanuman that could be inspirational and educational as well. Hanuman, an important character in Ramayana combined several qualities and practical achievements in his personality. Out of the qualities, power of tolerance and the management tactics of Hanuman are focused in the talk. They show to be useful for any one if one desired to please one’s boss and bring about universal good and promotion of dharma. He never loses his peace but pursues the feature of causing good to all. He is given the fame as karyasidddhi Anjaneya swamy for the research faculty in him. Until Sita is located, he did not stop his search of Sita. 

He has evinced conversational skills, ability to take spot decisions not endangering the mission for which he reached the land of enemies. He focused on work and such is his pursuit and he succeeded in whatever action he undertook. He evinced immense care to take knowledge of Lanka during day and night. He became like Agnideva (Fire God) the path finder and bestowed hope in the entrepreneurs who want to accomplish fulfillment and success. Hanuman as servant (duta) spoke more worked more with all tact. He became known as the gem in the string of Ramayana.
The discourse was followed by a mini-concert by Dr.Sita Rama Lakshmi, Professor Of Music, Bangalore after brief Lecture-Demonstration, on the importance of Nadam (music) in our day to day life. The talk contained the definition of Nada and creational modes of Nada and the identity with Veda mantras. A number of illustrations from kirtanas from famous composers like Thyagaraja were sung to explain the Nada. The rendition was inspiring and well received by the audience.  

Prof.CL.Prabhakar was felicitated by Sheshavataram and Dr.Sita Rama Lakshmi was felicitated by Smt.Prasoona. A memento was presented to the professor by Mallik Medarametla, as a token of appreciation for his outstanding contribution to the Hindu community.
