Before exposing Sathya Sai’s teachings on the topic, this session will begin with a meditation, to feel the energy that is omnipresent in Nature. This will be followed by listening to natural sounds such as breeze, waves and sounds of birds and animals. The participants will then be asked to brief on their inner experience. The aim of these exercises is to connect the Human mind to fundamental energy of Nature.

— 11:00- 11:45: Art and photography as tools to explore the unifying principles of symmetry in Nature: Krishnanand Padmanabhan**

This session will focus on understanding how the concept of beauty and perfection is conserved in nature around us. The concept of Golden ratio will be introduced. This will be followed by a practical demonstration on identifying symmetrical patterns evident in nature through the tool of art and photography, to help appreciate and understand the significance of creation of both animate and inanimate aspects of Mother Nature.

— 12:-12:45: Evolution- a blueprint to understand the conserved principle of creating life on Earth: Kaveri Barnejee***

As a biologist, Kaveri will expose on concepts of evolution, to help understanding the fundamental principles of creation by Mother Nature. This session will help understanding how our body operates on the similar principles that are found in organisms like bacteria and insects, such enhancing empathy and respect to all the living forms around us. The aim of the session is to allow and appreciate the diversity in life forms emerging from fundamental principles of life.
