His Holiness Radhanath Swami addressed 830 HSBC Bankers in Canary Wharf UK
on 7th April 2011.

It seemed as if time had paused on Thursday 7th April to witness
an historical event where two extreme ends of the world met for a fusion of
the material to the spiritual. His Holiness Radhanath Swami was invited as
key note speaker on behalf of the Euro CEO of HSBC to address a large
gathering of high profile influential bankers along with the Group Manager
of the Board on the topic of universal equality.

Organised by the Vedic Society in HSBC, over 830 bankers
congregated together at the global headquarters of HSBC in Canary Wharf,
UK, to explore the message of Holi - 'The Festival of Colours' symbolising
the message of universal equality despite being diverse materially.

With a presence in over 87 countries, managing in excess of $2.5 trillion,
HSBC is amongst the top universal banks, the largest listed company on the
London Stock Exchange and according to Forbes the eighth largest company in
the world.

Beatrice Giglio, one of the finest statisticians in Europe remarked: "I
found my eyes constantly filled with tears as I heard and experienced
the purity and finest examples of saints in my life. It was a lifetime
moment."

In Hospitality, thrilled at meeting His Holiness, Gill Smith remarked
how she felt an overwhelming sense of peace and strong spirituality in his
every gesture. "With the smile of innocence I felt that he penetrated my
soul while looking into my eyes. It was mystical."

Top physicist Visieu Lac felt he gained wisdom from an ancient voice
despite being a multi PhD and MA post graduate. "I have never met someone
so tranquil and seemingly perfect in theory and practice even though I was
with him for only a few hours. We discussed metaphysics as the irrefutable
result of an in-depth study in physics. I found him extremely approachable.
To my
utter surprise despite meeting him a few hours earlier, towards the end
of the evening when he noticed me he came over extended himself and
embraced me. It was a very warm and loving gesture for a scientist."

Comparing His Holiness to the living Buddha, mathematical genius Seth
Aslin felt a deep spiritual experience that was until now known only on
paper. Amongst many, he is enthusiastic to continue his spiritual journey.

Michael Connor, hosting the event ecstatically shared: "As I greeted
him with joined palms he came over clasped my hands and beamed straight
into my eyes. I felt as if he was reading me. Oops! I found him to be a
bundle of joy, bliss and deeply enlightening. I can't wait to take up his
offer for a tour of India!" Hundreds of colleagues commented on the depth
and joy in the speech by His Holiness.
