On March 9, 2025, the SSSIO Suriname participated in a public outreach Holi Milan event, collaborating with various NGOs to promote the theme “Spirituality and a Healthy Lifestyle.” This annual gathering emphasized human values and well-being, covering topics such as vegetarianism, health, nutrition, mental wellness, spirituality, and service.
Three young adults along with five adults shared Swami’s universal message with over 700 attendees. The focus was on understanding the deeper values of Holi through multiple perspectives, reinforcing principles of love, unity, and service. Notably, even members of other participating organizations embraced the same mission, creating an atmosphere of spiritual upliftment.
SSSIO set up an interactive stand displaying Swami’s teachings through books, banners, vibhuti (holy ash), pendants, and other materials. Free food was served to residents of elderly homes, spreading the message Love All, Serve All. The day’s activities included cultural performances, devotional music, and discussions on vegetarianism, all reinforcing the five human values—truth, right conduct, peace, love, and nonviolence. A highlight was the distribution of wheelchairs, as a gesture of selfless service.
An inspiring takeaway from the event was that many attendees were already familiar with Swami’s teachings, having read His books. This provided a wonderful opportunity to share SSSIO broadcast links and invite them to future activities of the SSSIO.
