Father Dominic Gomes

, vicar general of the archdiocese of Kolkata, has been invited by Swami Sarvalokananda, secretary of

RKM

Narendrapur, to perform.

The vicar general will not only deliver a lecture on hope and renewal, but sing carols too. It was on this day that Swamiji renounced the world and started his journey to serve and heal the world. “I will carry my guitar and sing carols as I progress with the lecture that will show how the message of Christ, and that of Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Swami Vivekananda are in the same tenor,” Gomes said.

“For us, Christmas eve is special because Swamiji and his spiritual brothers embarked on a journey of serving the world. We are lucky Father Gomes has agreed to sing carols and give us a lecture,” said Swami Sarvalokananda.
