Pokhara University has conducted a day-long orientation on personal transformation and stress management, marking its silver jubilee celebration. The orientation was provided by Prof Dr Chintamani Yogi and Swami Yoganand.
On the occasion, the Vice-Chancellor and chairperson of the Silver Jubilee celebration main committee, Prof Dr Prem Narayan Aryal, said the physical body and properties count of no importance as compared to human prestige and reputation. The name and fame ensure immortality to humans, he added, so it is imperative to shun stress and transform life. He further said all sides should give up anger, jealousy, and hatred even for elevating the image of the university. The environment of trust and unity is equally important, according to him.
Registrar Dr Dipak Bahadur Bhandari reminded us that the human body also has hardware and software like that of the computer. Anything that is harmful to the body must be removed and creation and creativity instilled, he viewed, adding that it would pave way for our personal transformation. Changing thoughts and reviving brain energy help in creativity, according to him. Trainer Dr Chintamani Yogi said human was not acknowledging their own potential, but rather hankering after love, luxury, property, family, etc. Knowing self must be prioritized by the human to ward off agonized life, he said, adding that self-transformation contributes to building an image of the university as well. Another trainer Swami Yogananda argued that people are living under stress and duress for a lack of proper stress management.
It is the source of plight, he said. Yoga, good food, good speech, a good environment, and good thoughts are essential to stress management, he suggested. He also recommended laughing therapy, meditation, and yoga practice for a healthy blissful life. Some 200 persons including university officials, teachers, employees, and students had attended the orientation program.
