Book Club members Shanti, Usha, Uma, Niru and Kris discussed The GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO by Stieg Larsson. The book traces the disappearance of Harriet and the dynamics in the Vanger family. What surprised us about the book was the extent of exploitation of women in
Sweden.

Wisdom from Vedic 5:

The number one quality that our youth want to develop is Wisdom. Our Adult Leadership Forum joined us to share in specific ways to gather wisdom. We focused on 5 ways by five teams -

  

   Seek and build relationships with others

   Seek and build relationships with the world

   Develop your intuition

   Use your common sense

   Make plans and decisions based on fairness and truth

  Try to see the "Big Picture".

Krishna to Arjuna in Ch 5 Vs 4 "The Wise see no difference between knowledge and action" - An action leads to knowledge and knowledge leads to action. They complement each other.
