‘Do I need Spirituality ?’

A unique program in the form of an open discussion has been organised with Dr.H.Satyanarayanachaar (Professor, Shri Poornapragna Vidyapeetha ) on October 04^th, 2009 and has been aptly titled as - ‘Do I need Spirituality ?’ .

This concept was born out of the initial interactions of the core group of the – BTM Layout, Koramangala and Indiranagar (BKI) branch of Shri Vishva Madhva Maha Parishath (VMMP). A strong need was felt to facilitate a platform where todays interested, modern minds of the young and the not-so-young alike, could test their own beliefs, ask questions and find for themselves, a path - to lead , a spiritually superior life !

The core-group of this branch has been meeting regularly both physically and virtually to come up with topics of interest and new ideas for the activities of the branch. Attached here are a few photo's from our first meeting. Photos are courtesy of Mr.Anantha Murthy and Smt.Sudha Murthy.

Todays interested minds are typically characterised by :

* Firstly – a strong need for reason/ justification before committing to any action or series of actions leading to a habit
* Secondly – an incisive mindset, that needs to measure the facts well, before accepting them as conclusive proofs
* Thirdly – and most importantly, an inherent belief (in most cases), that the divine scriptures have the key to lead a far more superior life, as compared to their current, divergent lifestyle.

While the above points may not be all-encompassing, the belief is that it may capture the overall sentiment of todays generation. With the blessings of 1008 Shri Shri Satyatmatheertha Swamiji and under the able guidance of Shri.Madhu Rao, we intend to bridge this gap as much as possible.

This session is our first attempt and hopefully will be the first among the many more sessions to come.
