6. Afternoon session:
We had arranged a talk on Kailash Mansarovar yatra on 20th November 2025. Our members Mr Pradip Patel and Mrs Surbhiben Khona have done this pilgrimage a few months back. Both of them were introduced by Vinodbhai Kapashi. Vinodbhai also very briefly explained the importance of these places in Hindu, Jain, Buddhism and Bon religions.
Pradipbhai and Surbhiben then narrated their experiences with the powerpoint presentation. They had prepared this with the aid of photographs they had taken. They explained their joy and sense of fulfillment on doing this. They also pointed out what sort of precautions are required and likely hazards of finishing this Yatra.
7. At one of our yoga sessions Ushaben Mehta demonstrated us how to tie leggings to straighten their back. She has shared a link explaining how it works.
