A Natural Path to Personality Development - Dr. Karnataka

Udaipur,  We often find ourselves troubled by what others possess, focusing on their wealth and comforts, which leads to dissatisfaction. However, when we look at those less fortunate, we become aware of our own current situation and achievements. It is important to always express gratitude to God and move forward collectively. We must live in harmony with nature, and Heartfulness meditation teaches us to connect with nature, listen to our hearts, and achieve our goals with simplicity. This was stated by MP UAT Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Ajit Kumar Karnataka, while addressing the newly admitted students of CTAE during their induction program.

Dr. Karnataka emphasized the importance of inner strength, self-confidence, and spirituality, drawing examples from Gautama Buddha and Swami Vivekananda. He encouraged students to embrace a spiritual life guided by divine principles.

The program’s keynote speaker, Director of the Heartfulness Research Institute and Professor at Mysore University, Prof. Mohan Das Hegde, explained that Heartfulness meditation brings inner peace, satisfaction, and balance. He noted that most people rely on others for their happiness, while true happiness lies within ourselves. He encouraged students to listen to their inner voice, connect with their life force, and shape their lives according to their desires. Prof. Hegde also conducted a practical session on Heartfulness meditation, based on the principles of Rajyoga.
