The Art of Living’s Sri Sri University celebrated the graduation day ceremony of the pilot batch of graduates of the MBA Program 2012-2014 in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

Addressing the distinguished invitees and students, Gurudev said, “One of the main purposes behind setting up this university is to provide the best of the East and the West. But science, when clogged by prejudice, slows down; and spirituality, when clogged by superstition, loses its utility. We need to rid spirituality of superstition and science of prejudice.
