On 20th August, 2011, we had a wonderful lecture by Dr. Prabhakaran at the Student Amenities Center(SAC) on the Gymkhana Ground at IISc over a beautiful, interactive session including games, devotional songs and lots more. We were also served 'high tea'(that is what initially attracted me to the programme, for which I skipped the performance ofn the famous music band-RYTHMICA of IISc!) and were briefed about our new beginning at this institute and the way we need to prepare ourselves for the upcoming challenges in life.
The programme was organised by the Bible Study Forum of IISc, which holds talks and fellowship sessions every week. They frequently invite eminent speakers from the world of religion and spirituality who offer lectures and talks. First and foremost, they study the holy Bible regularly and organise several charity works too.
The programme, delayed by some time due to non-availability of electrical power started with a welcome address by a member of the group. It was followed by delightful performances by members on the guitar as well as on the microphone on various hymns dedicated to Lord Jesus. Then came the enjoyment part where we had a fun game in which we interacted with each other to know maximum number of names of other people who were present in the hall. To make the task more interesting we were assigned labels depicting different birds,one to each person at the beginning of the programme, followed by a short quiz on the four main gospels of Christianity-Mark, Mathew, Luke and John . Then came the main part or gist of the programme-the enlightening lecture by Dr. Prabhakaran from the Bible Society of India on the topic which I have already stated above. He talked about various situations of life where we think of God only momentarily. All the members stressed about the role of Lord Jesus in maintaining us in a sound condition throughout our life, and that reflected in the lecture too. He stressed upon the need of believing in God and his creations on the earth. The programme drew to an end with two beautiful hymns sung even more beautifully by the singers and expressed fantastically by the guitarist. In all it was a very well-planned and spiritually enlightening programme any individual would seek forward to.
