New Delhi, 05 April (H.S.):

Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan declared meditation the gateway to inner transformation, stressing that positive thinking alone can forge a superior world. It bestows mental peace, clarity, and optimism on individuals.

Addressing the ‘Global Conference of Meditation Leaders—Meditation for Holistic Living and a Peaceful World’ at Bharat Mandapam on Sunday, organized by Pyramid Spiritual Societies Movement and Buddha-CEO Quantum Foundation, he likened meditation to igniting an inner lamp that banishes ignorance and guides toward truth and peace.

Citing Tamil saint Thirumoolar, CP Radhakrishnan portrayed the human body as a temple, unlocked by meditation to reveal innate divinity. Amid global strife—both external conflicts and internal turmoil—he positioned meditation as vital for equilibrium, curbing stress, boosting focus, and fortifying emotional resilience.

Meditation benefits not just spiritual seekers but everyone, elevating ordinary minds to higher consciousness, he noted, cautioning against sidelining life's values in material pursuits. For Viksit Bharat-2047, prioritizing mental health alongside economic growth is key, with meditation as a potent tool.

Targeting youth, he hailed it as an anti-addiction force, dispelling stress and aimlessness. True intelligence lies in non-judgmental observation—meditation grants this power.

Notable attendees included former CBI and CRPF Director D.R. Kartikeyan, Parmarth Niketan’s Swami Chidanand Saraswati, Quantum Life University’s Dr. Newton Kondaveti, Buddha-CEO founder Chandra Pulamarasetti, and Pyramid Spiritual Trust’s Vijay Bhaskar Reddy.
