Suttur, April 11, 2019: Dr. Shivraj V. Patil delivered an enlightening lecture at the Retreat Programme organized for students of JSS Engineering, Dental, Ayurveda, and Pharmacy Colleges, emphasizing the importance of knowledge and mindful living. The event took place at Suttur, where participants gathered to gain insights into healthy habits and the significance of teamwork.
Dr. Patil stressed the power of psychophysical food habits in preventing diseases, highlighting the need to consume food as medicine rather than treating medicine as food. He advocated for maintaining cleanliness in body, heart, and soul, as diseases can only be cured with the blessings of Mother Nature. Encouraging a simple and thoughtful lifestyle, he advised students to opt for nutritious, cost-effective food choices.
Sri K.B. Subhash further elucidated the importance of conceptual knowledge over rote memorization. He emphasized the value of teamwork and the qualities required to be an effective team member. In his address, he emphasized the significance of working together and highlighted that unity is the cornerstone of India’s diversity. A team, he stated, is distinguished by having a common goal, differentiating it from a mere group.
The camp’s daily schedule features morning prayers followed by invigorating yoga and pranayama sessions. Participants actively engaged in sharing their opinions and experiences during the interactive sessions.
