"The session ""Mythology Re-examined: Myth or Memory?"" brought together Dr Pawan Sinha, Nilesh Oak and Sunita Pant Bansal for a thought-provoking conversation moderated by Prof. Supantha Bhattacharya. The discussion explored whether Indian mythological narratives are symbolic stories, historical memory or a blend of both.
Dr Pawan Sinha shared perspectives on how evidence and geographical consistency often support mythological accounts. Sunita Pant Bansal emphasised that while narratives may evolve across generations, the core truths remain steady. Nilesh Oak presented astronomical insights that connect mythological events with historical timelines.
Together, the speakers highlighted a powerful idea: mythology can be literature, history or scripture, but its real significance lies in how it is experienced, interpreted and felt.
This powerful session with spiritual guru and educationist Dr Pawan Sinha brought the hall to full capacity, as young attendees gathered to explore leadership and life management through the teachings of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna. In his signature clear and relatable style, Dr Sinha reframed spirituality as Be Good Do Good and spoke about dharma as dutifulness, discipline and integrity.
He shared timeless lessons from the lives of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna, offering the youth a practical roadmap for decision-making, clarity and inner strength. The session also introduced the mantra of Train the Brain through meditation and mindful breathing, helping students understand how mental stability fuels both academic and personal growth.
Dr Sinha urged young Bharat to avoid shortcuts, embrace karma as yog and build a clear Lakshya supported by an action plan. His message resonated deeply with the audience, leaving them inspired to lead with purpose, compassion and responsibility.
