A unique programme designed to help people overcome anger will be held on the ensuing Sunday (August 16) in Auckland.
‘Brahmakumaris,’ a global organisation that helps people lead better lives, is organising the event at its Meditation Centre located at 51 Rockfield Road in One Tree Hill.
Sonali Bhakta, a representative of Brahmakumaris in New Zealand, said that the forthcoming event would help people to understand the real reasons for anger and the methods to overcome the emotion.
“Anger is an expression of inner pain; an indication that all is not well in our world. It is one of the most powerful and destructive emotions. Whether it seeps out in the form of irritation and resentment, or explodes in full rage, it causes damage to ourselves and to others. Anger also has many subtle faces which influence our behaviour and our relationships,” she said.
The free, open-to-all Programme will be held from 2 pm to 4 pm. Further details can be obtained on (09) 5795646 or Paul Cowan on 022-6352854 Email: cowan.paul@gmail.com;
