The nature of spiritual discourse has also changed amidst all kinds of changes in the Covid pandemic. Thousands of people especially those dwelling in the cities have taken to spiritualism using virtual means.
Swami Ram Tirtha mission continues to carry out spiritual activities in the society via internet for the devotees. Since the lockdown was first implemented, the mission has held about 250 online discourses which have been especially appreciated by senior citizens and housewives. To motivate people under stress during the period the mission organised several free online discourse programmes over a period of time to instill confidence among the people.
People from across the nation joined the online discourse through social media. The series of ninety-minute discourses have been organised regularly from the month of May 2020 to January 2021 and continue even today.
In the one-and-a-half hour online discourse, a sermon on the important verses and contexts of the Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Sundarkand and Gajendra Moksha was started on the weekdays.
The main speaker of the online programme, Kaka Hariom, says that these events have benefited the people who were not able to move around. At the same time, a special session was held to address their spiritual curiosity right in their drawing room virtually. He said that by listening to the Vedas and Puranas brings internal joy.
