In a vibrant display of youth engagement and cultural pride, young leaders in Melbourne successfully completed Lakshya: Manava Seva Madhava Seva—a two-day immersive workshop dedicated to selfless service and community leadership.
The workshop, inspired by the principle “Sewa hi Paramo Dharma” (Service is the highest duty), focused on shaping the next generation through value-based leadership and community service.
The initiative aimed to nurture a Sewa Manobhav—a spirit of selfless service—among young participants, encouraging them to contribute meaningfully to their families, communities, and Dharma.
Chief guest Saraathy Chechi, representing Sewa International Australia (VIC), spent four days with the group, guiding participants through reflective games, impactful activities, and shared personal stories.
Saraathy Chechi’s sessions blended psycho-neuro-scientific insights with real-life experiences to make complex ideas simple and relatable. Her presence deeply inspired the youth and left a lasting impression.
Yash Sharma, Victoria Vibhag Karyavah of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh, delivered an energising address, instilling in the youth the power of sincere and passionate service. His words added renewed motivation to the young hearts.
Renowned for his role in the Indian rescue mission at the Silkyara tunnel, Prof. Arnold Dix also made a surprise appearance.
In his motivational talk, he highlighted the power of cultural pride, inner strength, and belief, reminding attendees that even the impossible can be achieved through confidence and willpower.
Organisers expressed heartfelt gratitude to all who participated and supported the event—mentally, physically, and spiritually. They also announced plans to host more family-focused and youth-centric events, recognising teenagers as the future energy of society.
The Lakshya workshop—organised by the Kerala Hindu Society Melbourne (KHSM) in association with Sewa International Australia—was more than just a learning experience; it was a powerful call to action, inspiring a compassionate, conscious, and service-oriented new generation.
