Speaker: Dr. Sunder Arora
|
| TOPIC: The Art of Effortless Manifestation |
 About the speaker: Sunder S. Arora, MD, FRCP(P), is an adult and child psychiatrist, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Ottawa, an Interfaith Minister, yoga teacher from Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre and a family man.
He has had considerable experience in working with multicultural couples and families over the last 30 years.
In his private practice in holistic psychiatry, which he runs with his wife Rupinder – also a Doctor, psychotherapist and interfaith minister, Dr. Arora creatively combines the Satir Model with other modalities.
He has published a CD set, Be Free Now, a synthesis of his clinical insights and spiritual journey and has a recent book Ushering in Heaven, a Psychiatrist's Prescription for Healing, Joy, and Spiritual Awakening.
In the best of traditions, Dr. Arora teaches by sharing spiritual lessons that he has learned, as well as by describing his personal experiences. Dr. Arora points the way for the spiritual aspirant to find more joy in everyday life.
Here is an example: Wisdom is not mere intellectual understanding: instead it needs to be assimilated at a cellular and vibrational level.
Dr. Arora an dhis wife have an excellent website: www.meditationforlife.com
When you visit the site, you will discover a wealth of information on spiritual growth, how they share their spiritual journey through clinical work, workshops, church services, CD's, books and – this is key - through walking the talk. |

Speaker:
Lata Pada
Founder,
Director &
Principal
Teacher
Sampradaya
Dance Centre,
Toronto |
Topic: In the Further Soil
(Reflections on Vitality and Achievements
of Indian Diaspora in Canada) |
About
the topic:
The words of poet laureate, Rabindranath Tagore are the inspiration for the title of my presentation:
| "To study a banyan tree, you must not only know its main stem in its own soil but also trace the growth of its greatness in the further soil. For then only can you know the true nature of its vitality." |
India is that great banyan tree whose roots have grown so strong and
deep in Canada. I have made Canada my home for the past 47 years
and I reflect on the vitality and achievements of the Indian Diaspora
in Canada.
I
believe that with the maturing of our community here in Canada we must
reflect on our role and contribution to Canada as well as being the
conduits in forging important cultural, busines and trade links to
India. I trace my own journey in the arts and my work in building
an appreciation for India’s performing arts. Parallel to my life in the
arts, has been the advocacy role I played in the Air India Inquiry.
 About
the speaker:
Lata Pada is Artistic Director of SAMPRADAYA Dance Creations, an
award-winning professional South Asian dance company. Originally from
India, Lata has made Canada her home for the past 47 years. Lata holds
a Masters in Dance from York University and is an Adjunct Professor at
York University. In 2011, Lata was conferred the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman ("Indian Diaspora Honour") by the President of India, the highest civilian honour for non-resident Indians. Lata was conferred the Order of Canada in January 2009 and holds the distinction of being the first South Asian artist to receive this award.
Under
her artistic stewardship, Lata has created one of Canada’s leading,
innovative and progressive dance organizations. She has initiated
unique arts learning, community outreach, cultural leadership and
mentorship projects for performing artists. She has trained a
generation of dancers who perform professionally on international
stages. Lata is an articulate speaker and workshop leader - through her
art, she has served youth, new immigrants and marginalized communities.
Lata
is a founding member of the South Asian Advisory Committee at the Royal
Ontario Museum in Toronto. She has served on the Board of the Canadian
