New Delhi, India | April 9, 2026: In a landmark moment for the integration of inner well-being with academic excellence, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj inaugurated the Science of Spirituality Meditation Centre at Delhi Technological University (DTU).
Established in 1941, DTU stands among India’s premier institutions, serving over 14,000 students across engineering, science, and management disciplines, and fostering generations of innovators and leaders.
The Science of Spirituality Meditation Centre has been created to support students’ holistic development through structured meditation programs, value-based courses, and resources focused on mental well-being, focus, and stress management. Upon their arrival on the campus grounds, Maharaj Ji and Mata Rita Ji were warmly welcomed by Vice Chancellor Prof. Prateek Sharma and his wife Dr. Ritu Sehgal, along with faculty and members of the university community. The occasion was further marked by the planting of an Ashoka tree, symbolizing peace and renewal.

Following the inauguration, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj delivered a keynote address titled “Switch Off Outside, Switch On Inside” at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Auditorium. In his welcome remarks, Prof. Sharma described the occasion as a “manifestation of divine grace” and expressed hope that the DTU community would explore the inner dimension of life under the guidance of a “spiritual giant” like Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj.
In his address, Maharaj Ji spoke to the defining challenge of modern life: balancing rapid technological advancement with inner development. While progress has made life more convenient, he noted, it has also intensified stress and drawn attention outward. Meditation, he explained, provides a practical method to turn inward and connect with a source of peace, clarity, and resilience. He also observed that meditation is gaining widespread acceptance globally and is re-emerging in India with renewed relevance.
Describing meditation as both a spiritual discipline and a scientific experiment, Maharaj Ji emphasized its practical benefits, enhancing concentration, improving learning, and fostering emotional balance. He encouraged students to undertake this inner journey, not only for personal well-being but to discover a deeper purpose that can guide their lives.
The program concluded with a meditation sitting, followed by a brief question-and-answer session. Professor Prateek Sharma then presented Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj with a commemorative plaque in recognition of his contribution to promoting peace and value-based education.
