Guwahati (Assam) [India], March 2 (ANI): In a significant move in the promotion of spiritual well-being in the region, Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya inaugurated a meditation hall named the 'Pyramid' of Prajapita Bhamakumaris at Phulung in North Guwahati on Sunday.
Speaking at the spiritual event organized by Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya, Governor Acharya praised the Brahma Kumaris as an institution that goes beyond spiritual awakening to uplift moral values, foster social service, promote scientific education, and raise awareness for the betterment of society.
