SPIRITUAL FORUM
“The basic aim of religion is to bring peace to man. Even as an intellectual study, the study of Vedanta is the healthiest. Every soul is potentially divine”. These are the words of Swami Vivekananda. To inculcate spiritual knowledge and practices to our young women students, the Spiritual Forum has been started, since the inception of the College 1997.
he Forum is functioning and conducting many Ceremonies, spiritual functions and poojas. Lighting Ceremonies, Navarathri Kolu function with cultural activities, Annai Sarada Devi Jeyanthi vizha,Bhagavan RamaKrishna Jeyanthi vizha are celebrated every year. All our students enthusiastically participate in all the ceremonies.
To bring about peace and harmony among all religions and to educate oneness of humanity and universal understanding we organize International Spiritual Conferences under the brand “International Bliss Meet”. Every year to offer blessings to our outgoing graduates a “Lighting Ceremony” is organized.
