Lecture on spirituality at Kurukshetra University

Dr BR Ambedkar Study Centre, Kurukshetra University, organised a one-day extension lecture on the topic, ‘Relevance of spiritual knowledge in the modern age’ in collaboration with the BAPS Swami Narayan Research Institute, Akshardham.

The research institute is dedicated to advancing research, learning and the expression of scholarship and culture. On the occasion, the chief guest of the programme, Munivatsal Das, from the research institute, said spirituality and knowledge tradition was the basis of Indian cultural heritage. A person’s ideological power, moral strength and cultural uplifting lay in spirituality. He further said that a person needed to adopt the steady wisdom enshrined in the Ramayana and the Gita in his life.

Kurukshetra University Vice-Chancellor Prof Som Nath Sachdeva said spiritual knowledge was the basis of excellence in human life because spirituality provided a person the power of concentration, positivity, self-restraint and self-confidence.
