Gopa Kuteeram Children in the Youth Parliament
With the grace and blessings of Sri Guruji , STEM Incubators, a visionary organization founded by Mr Karthikeyan and Ms Harini Karthik, partnered with Global organization for Divinity to launch the inaugural Active Citizenship & Leadership program, funded by the Victorian Electoral Commission. This initiative successfully selected six students to represent Victorian Youth Parliament. It has been a journey of discovery, learning, and empowerment for all participants. Dr Janani Vasudevan ji was the primary mentor and coach for the youth in public speaking , debating and communication skills, aiming at inculcating the teachings of Sri Guruji coupled with purpose of giving back to the community bring to life the words of “Humanity and Divinity are inseparable”.
The program involved 20 teenagers from diverse backgrounds, nearly half of whom were students from Gopa Kuteeram Weekend Heritage School, an initiative by Global Organisation for Divinity to nurture moral, social and spiritual values in children. The youth team received direct coaching and mentorship from Dr Janani Vasudevan during her visit to Melbourne in September 2024, with support from Mr Ashok Mysore, Mr Subramaniam Sangameswaran, Mr Deepak Vinod and Mr Vasudevan from the GOD Australia team. Over eight weeks, participants engaged in intensive workshops and hands-on activities focusing on leadership, debating, public speaking, democracy, and voting.
Participants drafted three bills addressing civic issues after rigorous debating and public speaking sessions.
They put forward value-based education, mental strengthening and nurturing mindfulness as the simplest and most appropriate way to solve the prevalent increase in youth crimes and drug abuse, thereby enabling the future generation to achieve inner excellence and in turn contribute to the betterment of the society and nation as responsible individuals and future leaders.
The selection of our team from numerous strong applications is a testament to the dedication of the students, mentors, and volunteers who contributed to its success. The winning team, who will represent youth parliament by drafting bills on civic issues, includes Mr Sricharan, Ms Aneka, Mr Gautham, Mr Nissim, Mr Rehaan, and Ms Charvi. Notably, four of these students have been with Gopakuteeram since their primary schooling years.

Radhe Radhe. Pranams And Prostrations to Guruji Maharaj’s Holy Feet, on the Propitious day, when the ‘most eagerly momentous Occasion of Guruji Maharaj’s Descension Day is celebrated with Unprecedented Splendour, with the Recital ‘of the “Universal Life Changer, Mahamantra” Reverberating, world-over! Guruji Maharaj’s Satsangs of this Vibrant Texture not only act as Guardrails in our lives but also enables the “Future Student Community” stay “plugged in” with the menacing vices eroding the society, thus arming them with Equanimity to stay clear from those unpalatable elements, eternally! Guruji Maharaj’s Timeless Treasure of Initiatives, which He champions passionately, makes the children tide over ‘Ride or Nosedive’ situations with consummate ease thus, from crunch positions they land in triumphant achievements! Gratification to Guruji Maharaj for this Euphonic Chapter through the Precocious Hands of Dr Janani Vasudevan ji and her team! The photos of the participants emit bright sparkle, resonating with symphonic melody, that’s promising unequivocally that Guruji Maharaj has laid the edifice effectively for our future Prosperity! Glory to Respected Guruji!!!
