Kurukshetra, May 28

The practice of reciting Vedic mantras will be back at the Kurukshetra University’s 30th convocation ceremony tomorrow after nearly two decades.

KU sources said hymns from the Bhagvad Gita and Taittiriya Upnishad, a part of Yajurveda, would be sung before awarding the degrees .

University management said Vedic recitation at the convocation was a norm about 20 years ago.

KU was established in 1956 as a Sanskrit institute before it was upgraded as a multi-disciplinary university.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
