As part of Swami Vivekananda’s 150th birth anniversary, the Kenya unit of Swami Vivekananda 150th Birth Anniversary Celebration Committee organised a workshop on ‘Ideology of Swami Vivekananda’ at the University of Nairobi (UoN) on December 3. The dignitaries who were present on the occasion included Prof DW Waruta, former head, Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy, University of Nairobi;  Arya Samaj saint Shri Mwangi Shastri and team of HSS and HRSC, Kenya and staff  and students  of  the UoN University. The chief guest on the occasion was Prof  Henry Muturo, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic Affairs) UoN.

The workshop began with a prayer by Shri Hiren Pankhania and lightening of the traditional lamp. Dr Vasant Dharmadhikary welcomed and introduced the dignitaries. Mr Issac Hussain, who had studied at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh for 4 years, narrated his experience in Bharat,  while talking  about  the cultural values and helping nature of  the people of India. Ms Branda, a student from Department of Religious Studies &Philosophy, UoN narrated her experience about the visit of 100 students in various temples of Kenya like,  the Swami Narayan Temple at Forest Road, Arya Samaj Temple, Jalaram Temple, etc. Her remarks and her poetic presentation that “We all are One” were very impressive. This group of students were from various religions and they found and appreciated freedom and openness in Hindu philosophy.
