We ask for unwanted things forgetting to ask for love and compassion. We seek material wealth forgetting to ask for peace and tranquility. We knock at the wrong door and always at the wrong time. All because we are obsessed with ourselves and find difficult to equanimate.

PREAMBLE
We had our first weekly on line meeting on 20-March-2020. It
began with President Rtn B G Raj welcoming all Junctionites to the
first meeting in online format. Much applauded by fellow
members, PP Rtn Milind Deshpande was recognized for his
generous contribution of Rs 30 lacs to The Rotary Foundation
India. PP Rtn H M Sharma, speaker of the evening, gave a very crisp
and clear talk on Listening Skills. Mesmerized by the session,
almost all the 20 attendees felt like saying "yeh dil mange more",
but then the meeting time had to be adhered to. Secretary Rtn
Arun Ladha took over to make club announcements including
upcoming birthdays & anniversaries. And the emeeting
concluded by President personally thanking each & every
Junctionite who joined the online meeting and made it a success.
Rotary Bangalore Junction, being one among the tech savvy clubs
in district 3190, seized the opportunity to make use of technology
in this time of need. Joint Secretary Rtn Siddharth Hamirwasia
took lead in setting up the weekly meeting online. It began with a
test eMeeting on 19-March-2020 where 7 members of the board
collaborated to see how easy/difficult it was for people to connect
online and to iron out any impediments. With a thumbs up from
all, we were all set for using the technologies we have at our
disposal to maintain continuity of our weekly meetings. History
was created in Rotary Bangalore Junction with our "First Weekly on
line meeting” held on 20-March-2020.”

Namaste
Dr B D Patel gave a talk on scientific significance of Namaste as salutation in our second on line meeting on 27th March. When we do Namaste with folded hands both palms and fingers come together and rub acupressure points and heal many disorders. There is also combination of both Gyan Indirias and karama Indirias and you become Karma Yogi. Namaste with folded hands is sign of humility and you pay respect to your loved ones. Namaste with folded hands is respect to God in every one because we are respecting the soul within and not only the individual. When we do hand shake we absorb both negative and positive energy of an individual and we may lose bit of our positivity. Hand shake should be only done whenever there is deal and friendship is sought. Namaste has scientific significance that is why it is being followed by many countries now. Talk was very informative and interesting; it was followed by questions & answers session. There were 34 participants.
