\nRadhanath Swami emphasized the need of spirituality to engineer our inner selves. \u201cWhen people neglect this inner cultivation, there is every danger of destructive use of science and technology.\u201d
\n\u201cHe left the packed audience completely inspired and touched with his presentation. It was absolutely grounded in his personal experiences and his profound journey of self-discovery,\u201d said Professor Ganesh Ramakrishnan of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay. \u201cHe inspired me to start thinking on a level deeper than I usually do,\u201d remarked Varun Nagandla, who is doing his bachelors degree at the Premier Institute.
\nOther speakers at the event included prominent names from the fields of science, technology, industry and politics, such as Randy Schekman, Nobel Prize recipient in physiology; Marlene Kanga, president of WFEO, UNESCO; Manohar Parrikar, chief minister of Goa; Tanmay Bhakshi, youngest IBM Watson developer; and Sophia, the humanoid robot.
