The Academy of Yoga and Oriental Studies (AYOS) organised a lecture on “Meditation and Science” here last week with writer Dr Ajit Kumar Nayak being the speaker of the occasion. Eminent scholar and former IPS officer Arun Kumar Upadhyay chaired the meeting. In his speech, Dr Nayak said the whole world has recognised the excellence of yoga. Numerous problems related to the human body and mind could be solved by the help of yoga. Yogic meditation is equally fruitful like the yoga Asanas.

Dhyana is extremely useful for students.
