All the speakers presented their allocated topics well and the topics were well received by the abhyasis.  The program has been of immense help to the participants.  Each participant submitted a detailed report with regard to the coverage of topic, general comments about the program and any changes suggested.  The abhyasis were active in participation during the coverage of the topics as well as during other times of the day.

There were 2 satsangs conducted on each day. The satsangs were conducted by Sri. S.S.Reddy, Sri. J. M. Sarma, Sri. Vidyadhar Joshi, Sri. K. C. Srihari and Dr. K. Madhava.  The satsangs conducted daily has helped the abhyasis in remembering the Master more. 

Diaries of all the participants were reviewed during the course every day before starting the topic and abhyasis were assisted in expressing their feelings better.  Coverage of this topic especially has helped them and all of them have firmly decided that diary writing will be implemented strictly henceforth.
