Students of various streams posed varied questions during a motivational lecture series organised at Baba Farid Institute of Technology at Suddhowala in Dehradun. In all, 500 students participated in the hour-long interactive session in which they came out with their anxieties. Representing Patanjali Yogpeeth as a speaker, Radhika Nagrath, said that the simplest formula for stress busting in any domain of life was to know the root cause and if the root cause is treated properly, one can remove the stress forever. Citing examples of the real life heroes like PV Sindhu, the badminton world champion, she said there was no shortcut to success in life which requires hard work and passion along with a little bit of sacrifice was as exemplified by Sindhu who abstained from sugary foods, internet and mobile phone for eight months as guided by her coach.
Giving his presidential address, the registrar of the institute, Bhupender Singh Arora, said that a single thought could change the course of one's life and students must keep good company to ward off negative thoughts and stress.
