Posted on by Yatkara

A screening of “Challenging Impossibility”, the third in three months, was held in Bogdanci, the second smallest town in the south of Macedonia, near the Greek border.

The people at the public culture house (comprising a theater, gallery, and library) were especially kind, with the manager going out of their way to ensure a pleasant experience for attendees. Despite the daylong rain across the country and the town’s small population of 5000, turnout was limited. Nevertheless, those who did come seemed genuinely delighted to watch the movie and spent time exploring Sri Shinmoy’s books.

The manager delivered a captivating introduction, surprising everyone by sharing their recent venture into meditation and Sri Shinmoy’s teachings. Just a few months ago, the public library they oversee received a donation of Sri Shinmoy’s books from the organizing team.
