The Yogananda Centre for Theology (YCT) at Shoolini University organised Yogananda Annual Conference on Spirituality for Holistic Wellness in association with the School of Ancient Theology, Indian Wisdom, and Yoga Science on Friday.
Swami Bramhamurti, Founder and Chairman, Dhyan Yoga Ashram and Ayurveda Research Centre, Kathni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, was on the panel for the day-long conference, along with businessman Arvinder Singh and Prof Sushim Dubey, Head of the Department, Philosophy, Nava Nalanda Mahavihara, Ministry of Culture India.
During his address, Swami Bramhamurti said, “Knowledge never frees a soul; understanding the knowledge does.” He elaborated his argument with stories about Paramahansa Yogananda, consumerism, life, and enlightenment.
Arvinder Singh named Gallilio and Socrates as two great thinkers. He also mentioned politics, which has an impact on religion. "The world has become ceremonial, and the spiritual path has been exiled," he said while discussing the different approaches to spirituality.
Prof Sushim Dubey, HOD, Philosophy, Nava Nalanda Mahavihara, Ministry of Culture India, enlightened the conference with his thoughts on transcendence, spirituality, and bereavement. "One cannot achieve spirituality without morals," he concluded.
Shoolini University Chancellor Prof PK Khosla discussed his spiritual experience. “I'm only getting started in the spiritual school; maybe I'll graduate in the next life," he said.
YCT Chairman Vivek Atray, ex-IAS, concluded the session with a valedictory ceremony and vote of thanks. Members of the YCT club presented a cultural event.
