Chairperson of the conference Bhanumathi Narasimhan describes the conference as an inspirational and enriching experience for women from all walks of life. She says, “Life moves in an eternal continuum. In this continuum, birth is a mystery and death is a mystery. And life in between is a greater mystery. It cannot be understood or solved, but it can be lived to its fullest. And that is spirituality.”
The conference will include sessions covering a wide range of themes related to how the three dynamic principles of passion, compassion, and ultimately dispassion apply to social and inner lives.
Yet another highlight of the event is ‘The Unknown Factor’, a conversation between Vishen Lakhiani, CEO, Mindvalley and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on 14th February 7 PM.
