“Spirituality can enhance the quality of life and destruction of nature will lead to destruction of mankind. It is important to protect nature,” said Justice P. Jyothimani, Chairperson, State Monitoring Committee of National Green Tribunal for Solid Waste Management.

Speaking at a national conference on ‘Self-empowerment for excellence in social service,’ organised by Rajyoga Education and Research Foundation (RERF), a wing of the Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya, here on Sunday, he said that spirituality not only helped in achieving mental peace and inner strength but also weaned people from issues such as drug addiction.

“The youth should take to spiritual practices like meditation to come out of drugs,” he added. The conference saw enthusiastic participation of people working in the domain of social service from all over the State. Members and officer-bearers of Lions clubs and Rotary clubs spoke at the event.

B.K. Amirchand, vice-chairman, Social Service Wing, RERF, explained the various social service initiatives taken up by the Brahma Kumaris.

B.K. Pushpa, Director, Brahma Kumaris, delivered the presidential address and B.K. Pandiamani, Director, Value Education Programmes, elaborated on the objective of the conference.
