Chandigarh, February 22, 2024: The Department of Philosophy at Panjab University hosted a lecture on the topic “A Denial and A Refusal: Mind-Spirit Dichotomy in The Life Divine” on Thursday. The lecture was delivered by Prof Sachidananda Mohanty, who holds Sri Aurobindo Chair at the University, as part of a series of lectures organised by the institution.
The event attracted a diverse and large audience of faculty and students from various departments. The lecture was moderated by research scholar Kanwaljeet Singh, and Assistant Professor, Sh. Lallan Singh Baghel presented a bouquet to Prof Mohanty as a token of welcome.
