Main Projects for Europe to Take Forwards
A number of projects were put forward by the European Council which were voted on to give an order of priority.
- Euro website
- Translation of books and dvd’s
- Visiting teachers to have an official tour
- Key Ashram people to go to Europe
- Ongoing training for teachers
Euro Reunion
Euro Reunion will be in Italy in May or June 2011.
It is planned to be in Germany in 2013 and the UK have asked to be the hosts in 2015.
And a Euro Council centre heads meeting every year.
Padma confirmed her retirement as Euro Co-ordinator. Swamiji thanked her for her service in that role for the past 8 years.
Ashram Ambassador to Europe
The whole of the European Council made it known that everyone felt extremely grateful to Swami Asokanandaji for his help over the past few years and that his energy and enabling support had really helped Europe to move forwards together.
Swamiji spoke about different people who could fulfil that role. Different Council members then expressed their belief that Swami Asokananda will be the right person to take us to the next level.
The European Council then voted on the appointment of the Ashram Ambassador to Europe. There was a unanimous vote for Swami Asokananda to take that role forwards and include Europe in his global vision for Integral Yoga.
