IMPHAL | Oct 8

Revenue minister, Karam Shyam said that the true essence of happiness is knowing one’s own atma (soul). He made the statement in a seminar on “Happiness forever” held today at Asha Hall, North AOC.

He said that money, power and success do not make a person wholly happy, but finding one’s soul will make a person happy. The endeavour to serve people and the attempt to change the wrongs in the system helps in finding solace, he added. 

Shyam said as a politician, life is full of stress and challenges yet determination to do something good for the society is a fulfilling experience. The minister also suggested that using the best use of time is another formula to find solace in modern busy life schedule.

The spiritual seminar was organised by Brahma Kumaris of Kwakeithel Moirang Purel Leikai in an aim to disseminate peace and happiness in all walks of life.

Rajyogini Brahma Kumari Kamlesh, senior rajyoga teacher of Mumbai gave a presentation on the theme “happiness forever”. She said that no one is born happy in this world, and that mental happiness is the best happiness.

She said if one wants to attain happiness, one needs to have daily meditation, the art of forgiveness and appreciation.

A mass meditation for three minutes was performed under the guidance of Rajyogini Brahma Kumari Kamlesh during the seminar.

The function was attended by vice-president of BJP Manipur Pradesh, Jyotin Waikhom, senior purchase manager Achroma of American MNC, Deepak Rohra and in-charge of Brahma Kumaris, Manipur, Rajyogini Brahma Kumari Nilima attended the function as guests of honour.
