Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Synthesis of science and spirituality essential: PM Thiruvananthapuram, Sept. 3 (PTI): Synthesis of science and spirituality was essential for the well-being and harmony of human society, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, said today. "Science without concern for moral values can go astray," the Prime Minister said after inaugurating the Golden Jubilee of the Vinoba Niketan at Malayadi village, about 35 km from here. While creation of wealth was essential for alleviation of poverty and diseases afflicting the society, mere accumulation of wealth was not sufficient for the social well-being. Wealth should be blended with spiritual values to bring benefits for the society, he said. Enormous potential of nuclear technology, bio-technology and genetic- engineering should be used for human good, he said. The Prime Minister said institutions like Vinoba Niketan could play an important role for the welfare of the rural people and depressed sections supplementing the measures taken by the government for their benefit. Singh also laid the foundation for the Vionba Viswa Vidya Peeth being set up by Vinoba Niketan and promised the Centre would provide support for the institution. Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, presided. http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/001200509031527.htm? headline=Synthesis~of~science~and~spirituality~essential:~PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
