The webinar was inaugurated by the Chancellor, Shoolini University Prof P K Khosla along with Dr. Janki Santoke. She focused her talk on the re-joining back to our original source in spirituality which is composed with the three things Ritual, Mythology and, Philosophy. She said that ritual and mythology of various religions are different but philosophical aspect is similar, known as eternal truth of our existence.
Dr. Janki further stated that though everything around us has improved because of science and technology but we should ask ourselves “Are we really Happy?”. For our own happiness we do not have to look out, it is all inside and we should learn the aspect of Science of Spirituality. She also added that the way our body performs an action, every action should come from the discrimination of the intellect and no action should come from likes and dislikes of mind. By taking decisions from likes and dislikes of mind we complicate our problems or create another problem for ourselves. But by using intellect we can make our life better. The best way to make our intellect strong is by studying scriptures and applying the knowledge in or daily lives.
