Recently, Swami Swaroopananda (Global Head, Chinmaya Mission) visited Kampala, Uganda, as part of his Africa tour, between 26 March and 28 March 2023. His visit commenced with ‘Meditation on the Gayatri Mantra’, which took attendees to the depths of silence. At Makerere University, he spoke about how our ancient cultures and wisdom have given us a holistic approach to life, and how we should revive this way of thinking rather than holding ourselves to Western standards for everything.
At Kampala International University, Swami Swaroopananda gave insights and practical tips on how success can be achieved without stress and why we need not be stressed to be successful. The key is to aim high and to have a noble goal that will give us greater inspiration.
The fundamental focus of both the university talks was on mastering the mind.
