Solan, December 9

Yogananda Center 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 said during his address, “Knowing never frees a soul; understanding the knowledge does.” He went on to illustrate his argument with stories about Paramahansa Yogananda, consumerism, life, and enlightenment.

Mr. 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. He also talked about 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.
