Imphal, December 02:
A one-day seminar on Science and Spirituality was held at the premises of Brahmakumaris Imphal Centre at Kwakeithel Moirang Purel Leikai today.
Speaker of Manipur Legislative Assembly graced the occasion as chief guest.
In his speech, Dr Budhichandra opined that Science and Spirituality are the two sides of the same coin and they are inseparable under any circumstances.
Science beings comfort to the material side of human being whereas spirituality brings comfort to the soul, he observed.
Ex-MLA Dr M Nara Singh who also spoke at the occasion stated that life itself is a mystery but it not a problem to be solved.
He strongly felt the need of enlightening the decision makers of today's world with spiritual knowledge.
Among the resource persons of the seminar, Prof Dr Rajmohan Singh of Manipur University outlined that Science and Spirituality should go hand in hand so as to bring harmony and balance in the society and any imbalance of any sort will have disastrous effect.
Making references to the piling up of weapons of mass destruction which have the potential to destroy the universe 50 times, he said that the world itself is at the top of a volcano which could erupt any time.
He observed that there is an urgent need for developing Spiritual Quotient which measures the spiritual side of human beings, for the restoration of human ethics.
Another resource person, retired Professor of Manipur University Dr N Tombi Singh also stressed material development should not be the only criteria for measuring the index of human happiness and contentment of life and cited the examples of degrading human values in the western world where many are turning towards spirituality for seeking the truth of life.
Earlier giving a brief introduction about the Brahmakumaris, Rajyogini Brahmakumari Nilima outlined the four subjects which are routinely practised in the Brahmakumari Institution, namely meaning of life, realisation of the same through meditation, inculcation of values into our life practically and effort for transformation of the world through the change in one's life.
