VIRTUAL MEET WITH CHAWLA SENSEI!

Dear All,
In the face of this unprecedented pandemic that the world, especially India, is grappling with, many of us, who are away from our dear ones in India or are waiting to come to Japan, may have concerns about how we and/or our near & dear ones can remain safe and sane while the pandemic plays out.
To make matters worse, we may not know whom to share our concerns with and get answers and advice.

With the above thoughts in mind, we discussed it with Sensei and he was kind enough to agree to meet his past students on a virtual meet and answer their questions.
The experience and knowledge gleaned from his level of engagement at different levels makes Chawla sensei best-placed to address concerns of his students in both countries.

All those who wish to take advantage of this opportunity are requested to confirm their participation by tomorrow 1400 hrs JST and send in the questions & concerns they wish to put forth.

We plan to conduct this proposed meeting on 1st of May (Saturday), 2130 hrs JST through a Zoom meeting. The session is primarily for, but not limited to, those who have been students of Chawla sensei. Please feel free to pass this message to your friends.

Thank you!

From Sensei to his students: "Must observe no panic but enough care. Just maintain usual discipline of hygiene, sleep, food and maintaining distance, and keep yourself engaged in some constructive work to tide over the difficult time. Just stay where you are and do some soul searching also."
