Deepawali Gyan Prakash Satsang was organised at Maharishi Institute
BHOPAL [Maha Media]: The "Deepawali Gyan Prakash Satsang" was held at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Institute in Bhopal. Brahmachari Girish Ji, Chairman of Maharishi Educational Institutions Group, began the program by lighting a lamp.
Addressing the gathering, Brahmachari Girish Ji said, "When we talk about society, it always includes the global family. Nowadays, people's lives are not what they should be. It is the need of the hour to purify and refine people's consciousness. Today, everyone talks about the different levels of the brain and the mind. However, people do not know the difference between the mind and the brain. The mind is software, while the brain is hardware. At the base of the mind is consciousness, and at the base of consciousness is the soul."
Brahmachari Girish Ji explained that to succeed in any area of life, we must connect with our soul. He criticized the education system for being too theoretical and lacking practical application, especially regarding Sadhana. He pointed out that Maharishi Vidya Mandir schools teach at a higher level of consciousness rather than simply providing book knowledge. He expressed concern that it is troubling if someone with a PhD does not even know the first verse of the Rigveda or Sandhya Vandana.
Brahmachari Ji related Maharishi Ji's teachings, noting that they built their knowledge community through the blessings of the Guru. He urged everyone to practice the techniques taught by Maharishi Ji to help reduce stress in the world. He mentioned that the technology of Transcendental Meditation is available to everyone. While many people focus on Asanas and Yoga, he believes not enough attention is given to knowledge. Maharishi Ji established 3,000 centers worldwide, all named Ashtanga Yoga Centers.
Brahmachari Girish Ji said we want to bring together 10,000 Sadhaks to help make the world a better place. These Sadhaks will practice Yogic Flying, Transcendental Meditation, and Siddhi Sutra while following Vedic routines in one location. Brahmachari Girish Ji invited everyone present to support the Maharishi Institute's initiative and to join others who are interested in our program. Together, we can create a community that promotes peace and greater awareness for everyone.
Brahmachari Ji also raised concerns about the general lack of health awareness and announced a campaign to educate people about this issue. He launched the Mahaswasthya Abhiyan to promote health awareness. The magazine Ojasvi will help spread this message to a wider audience, focusing on Sadhana.
Mr. Aseem Shrivastava, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests in Madhya Pradesh, shared his thoughts during the Satsang. He stressed that people face many challenges that affect their lives. He called for urgent efforts to conserve trees, forest land, and wildlife, while also reducing carbon emissions and promoting tree planting.
Shri Ravindra Kanhare, Chairman of the Private University Fee Regulatory Commission, also attended the Satsang. He highlighted India's rich spiritual heritage and the importance of including Indian knowledge in school curricula. He stated that participation is essential.
Other attendees included U Prakasham, Director of Personnel and Administration of the Maharishi Vidya Mandir School Group; Yatish Saxena, Additional Director; Madhusudan Deshpande, Director of the Maharishi Multispecialty Ayurveda Health Awareness Center. Earlier, the program began with Guru Parampara Poojan and a Vedic Shanti Paath.
The event drew over 50 respected intellectuals from various fields in Bhopal, who shared their insights. It took place at the Maharishi Cultural Center in Arera Colony, Bhopal. At the end of the Satsang, attendees received Prasad. Mrs. Rita Prakasham, Joint Director of the Maharishi Vidya Mandir School Group, thanked everyone for coming.
