MNNIT Prayagraj Hosts Groundbreaking Seminar on Causcitology and Human Nature
The department of mechanical engineering at the Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) in Prayagraj recently organised a one-day seminar titled "Causcitology and Human Nature". This innovative event aimed to blend modern engineering education with ancient wisdom, providing students with a unique opportunity to delve into profound topics such as intelligence, consciousness, and the philosophy of cause and effect.
Expert Insights on Cosmic Cause and Consequence
The seminar featured an expert talk by Manmohan Lal Goswami, who elaborated on the concept that the entire cosmos operates on an unbroken chain of cause and consequence. He explained that every phenomenon in existence has a specific cause, and every action inevitably leads to an outcome. This creates a continuous cycle that not only governs human life but also the universe as a whole. Goswami's discourse highlighted how understanding this fundamental principle can offer deeper insights into both personal and professional realms.
Integrating Indian Knowledge Systems into Modern Education
Rajeev Srivastava, the head of the mechanical engineering department, emphasised the relevance of Indian Knowledge Systems in contemporary education. He stressed that engineering students stand to gain immensely from the teachings of ancient texts like the Shrimad Bhagwat Gita and Bhagwatam. Srivastava pointed out that these scriptures provide timeless wisdom on ethics, decision-making, and holistic thinking, which are crucial for developing well-rounded engineers capable of addressing complex global challenges.
The seminar served as a platform for students to explore how ancient philosophical concepts can complement their technical studies. By fostering a dialogue between traditional wisdom and modern science, MNNIT Prayagraj is pioneering an educational approach that prepares future engineers not just with technical skills, but with a broader perspective on life and the universe.
