You are invited to a Shiva Yoga Interfaith Symposium on:

Faith & Politics: Egypt in Transition
by His Excellency Dr Hassan El-Laithy
Egyptian Ambassador to Australia

Date: Thursday 27 March, 2014   Time: 7.30pm
Location: Shiva Ashram 27 Tower Rd, Mt Eliza

In this special lecture by the Egyptian Ambassador to Australia, His Excellency Dr Hassan El-Laithy will talk about the so-called Arab Spring movement, why the region is so volatile, discuss the issues facing his country as well as factors related to other countries in the region.

For a country in the midst of social, political and economic upheaval and threats and acts of terrorism, can faith and politics co-exist and help to shape the future of a new, democratic Egypt?

Ambassador El Laithy will also share his heartfelt views on why staying connected to the oneness of God, particularly when transitioning from suffering to a brighter future, is the ultimate source of freedom.

Swami Shankarananda, spiritual director of Shiva Ashram, will host the program and share his thoughts on Interfaith.

Free event. All welcome.
