The Story in Brief
Sri Shakti Peetham pontiff Ramyananda Bharathi Swamini stressed the importance of spiritual well-being for students to improve concentration and achieve success. She was speaking at an International Youth Day event at Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS) in Tirupati on Thursday.
The pontiff recommended temple visits to ward off negative thoughts, meditation for better attention, and mantra chanting for vocal and mental clarity. She noted that students today suffer from lack of focus and internal disturbance due to growing technology. SVIMS Director and Vice-Chancellor R.V. Kumar also spoke on the science behind mantra chanting and the value of the ancient Gurukul system.
The Indian Opinion
The pontiff’s advice to turn to temples and mantras for concentration will resonate with many Indian parents worried about screen-addled children. But the lazy narrative that technology alone is to blame ignores the real pressures of competitive exams and packed schedules. A more honest test would be: can schools pair such spiritual practices with measurable improvements in student performance, or will this stay a feel-good ceremony?
