“Meeting the Challenges of Covid-19 pandemic – The Yogic Way

16 June 2021 – 4 July 2021

Sponsored by

The proposed Webinar Series comprising 19 lectures from eminent monks of Ramakrishna Mission, Yoga-Vedanta scholars, scientists and medical professionals, centering around the International Day of Yoga (21 June 2021) covering various aspects of Yoga and Vedanta in special reference to the current Covid-19 pandemic situation wherein the main concerns are: anxiety and stress, concentration deficit (for students and elders alike), sleep disorder (for elders in particular), breathing trouble (for those with lung problems and other elders), maintaining overall wellness, loneliness and fear psychosis (for elders and parents with children settled abroad, in particular), connecting to the society with cheerfulness, and a host of other related issues, physical, pranic, psychological and spiritual. We have devised a lecture series that would address these concerns based upon the praacheen bharatiya jnana-vijnana parampara (ancient Indian wisdom-experience tradition) drawing from our authentic scriptures as well as modern scientific (neuro-physiological and cardiological) evidence.

Given below is a detailed webinar series programme centering around the International Day of Yoga (21 June 2021)—the series spans from 16 June 2021 and extends up to 4 July 2021. The profile of the speakers participating in this webinar ranges from eminent and qualified monks of Ramakrishna Order serving at our Deemed University and several other scholarly monks elsewhere in India and abroad, to neuro-scientists, cardiologists, physiologists, psychologists, psychiatrists and medical doctors, all of whom are highly knowledgeable not only about their own respective sciences, but the Yoga-Vedanta-science interface and its applications to address the Covid-19 pandemic response concerns stated above.

  • Yoga-Vedanta seekers all over the world
  • Students and Faculty members of eminent colleges and universities of India
  • Students of various Spiritual Heritage courses run by the School of Indian Heritage, RKMVERI
