13th SWAMI SATYANANDA
MEMORIAL LECTURE 2020
BEYOND THE GOLDEN RULE
18TH JULY 2020 (SAT) @3PM
The Pure Life Society (PLS) is pleased to announce the 13th edition of the Swami
Satyananda Memorial Lecture. His Holiness Dr Swami Satyananda was a spiritual
teacher, an educationist, a social activist and a pioneer in promoting interfaith harmony
and cooperation in Malaya (before Malaysia was formed). His legacy is carried on
through The Pure Life Society's many activities over the year.
HH Swami Satyananda was close to Malayan religious leaders and worked tirelessly to
foster peace and harmony. His interfaith activities even extended beyond Malaya, as he
formed the Malayan chapter of World Council for Interfaith Cooperation, WCIC in 1956.
Beyond spreading unity to society though conferences and groups workshops, Swami
Satyananda set up centres for education, welfare and vocational training under the Pure
Life Society. Amid his commitment to uplifit the poors and the unfortunates, he found time
to write books on history, literature, religious philosophy and psychology. His lifelong
work has snowballed beyond his passing, making the Pure Life Society a force for good
to reckon with today.
The Golden Rule: "Don't do unto others what you wouldn't want done to yourself" was the
mantra HH Swami lived his life, and built his legacy on. It is with this in mind that we have
invited prominent scholars, social activists and society leaders to share their thoughts and
insights on this year's theme - “Beyond the Golden Rule”. They will expose to us their take
on the Rule and how it was applied or built upon within their own life or community.
The keynote speakers for this online session are Dato Letchumanan Ramatha from
Bhrama Kumaris, Dr Amir Farid Bin Che Isahak (InSAF), President Richard Ho (LDS) and
Datuk Halimah Mohd Said.
All are invited to this FREE program. Please subscribe to our page to stay up to date with
