Lecture on importance of meditation

Swami Smaranananda Giri, general secretary of the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, YSS, addressed a large gathering in Chandigarh on ' Winning the Battle of Life Through Meditation.' He emphasized the need for every individual, however much busy he or she may be, to take out time each day for meditation. There is no other way to combat the stresses and tensions of life that are a part and parcel of every person’s life in this era, he said. Daily practice of meditation techniques can go a long way in ensuring inner peace and calmness, despite all obstacles in one’s path, he advised. Among those who spoke here was also Vivek Atray, former bureaucrat of UT.
