Hyderabad: Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management, Bachupally celebrated its 22nd Convocation Ceremony on Friday at its campus auditorium.
Chief Guest Arun Wakhlu, Vice Chairman, Pragati Leadership, delivered the convocation address and conferred the PG Diploma to students at a glittering ceremony.
The ceremony was presided over by D N Rao, President, Vignana Jyothi. Harishchandra Prasad, Chairman, Governing Council, VJIM and B Sarat Gopal, General Secretary, Vignana Jyothi; Governing Council members, guests from Corporates were present along with Academia, faculty members and students.
Delivering the convocation address Arun Wakhlu said, “You are entering the world of contribution at a momentous time in human history. Humanity is going through what Buddhist scholar, eco philosopher, and activist Joanna Macy calls the ‘Great Turning’.
The Great Turning is a name for the essential adventure of our time: the shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization.
As we look forward towards your future we see the immense possibility of co-creating a world that works for all. We see people in touch with the big picture and with the power of our innermost essence”.
“We see people deeply connected to the environment. You have this capacity and potential to work towards manifesting this dream which we can all co-create together. The challenges are indeed large. There is a lot to be done and the road will not be easy.
However, the good news is that every single piece of the jigsaw puzzle that we need to manifest the vision exists on the planet at this point”, he added.
He shared five principles that will hopefully stand the graduates in good stead as they go through life. The principles of Service, Purpose, Action, Creativity and Enthusiasm are the five fingers of a hand, and the palm that holds all these five fingers is the light of Gyana, the light of Awareness.
It is this light which is really the light of remembering who you really are. Remembering who we really are will enable you to serve from the heart because you will remember that everybody on the planet is the manifestation of the same creative intelligence as you are.
So when you serve others you are really serving yourself. He concluded the address by advising take life playfully!
Because life at the end of the day is about joyful living in each moment, being loving, caring and kind.
