Over 930 yuvaks and more than 505 yuvatis attended the special seminars for youths held at BAPS centers in Australia and New Zealand: Adelaide, Auckland, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Wellington. Youths from the Gold Coast, Hamilton, Rotorua and other tier-2 regional cities attended the seminar at their nearest center.
Themed ‘Attitude Is Everything’, the one-day youth seminars emphasized developing a positive attitude towards any situation in life. Through inspiring presentations by swamis, videos, skits and a special panel discussion, each seminar conveyed the benefits of having a positive attitude and how it can lead to a happy, healthy and successful life. The panel discussions involved youths who had been through adverse situations and highlighted how a positive outlook helped them to overcome their challenges.
