The webinar commenced with the invocation of Sri Aurobindo’s Gayatri Mantra, setting a spiritually charged atmosphere. The panelists included Dr. Alopandeji, Professor Joyce Ng, and Dr. Vladimir Yatsenko, with Dr. Marla Kapadiaji moderating the discussion. Dr. Alok Pandeyji delivered a thought-provoking keynote address, unraveling the paradox of life and death. He emphasized that while forms disintegrate, life undergoes a change in its modes of functioning.
Dr. Alopandeji delved into the significance of mastering the breath, drawing parallels between slow-breathing animals like tortoises and longevity. Inner discovery of the soul, the practice of Brahmacharya, and understanding death as an evolutionary process were highlighted as pathways to potential immortality. The teachings challenge conventional notions, viewing death as a cleansing process vital for spiritual growth. The speakers addressed the fear of death, advocating for an understanding that death is a celebration of transcendence. Savitri, a myth chosen by Sri Aurobindo, symbolizes the conquest of death and the soul’s journey. The speakers underscored the need for a paradigm shift in the education system to address anxiety and stress related to death.
