Based in London for 18 years, but now in India, Pujya Shukmuni Swami is currently on a four-month journey across Africa, speaking to teenagers and shaping their thoughts for their personal development and the future of humanity.
More than 100 teenagers in Nairobi were fortunate to be given the awe-inspiring talk by Pujya Shukmuni Swami at The Log Houses, Spring Valley, on Saturday. He spoke about the pressures of life and the rat race. Quoting examples of cricket and football and other relatable aspects, he sustained the attention of the teenagers for over an hour and half.
The event concluded with a question and answer session, of which the universal message of having faith in whatever you believe in came out strongly.
