The mega virtual event was attended by the members of ORIOZ from all the states of Australia, leaders of Odia diaspora across the globe, members of World Odisha Society and prominent non-resident Indians.

Highlighting the usefulness of positive thoughts Swamiji prescribed three fold strategies to eradicate negative thoughts.

As a first measure he suggested to maintain distance from negativism and watch these thoughts from a gap. Then he proposed to replace these negative feelings with possible substitutes. As a final solution Swamiji strongly recommended to bring positive thoughts again and again till one gets totally relieved from negative mindset.  Swamiji further suggested applying spiritual and yogic sciences for purifying the mind. To get perpetual happiness and perennial bliss, Swamiji advised to keep the mind away from the peripheral influences and arouse one’s inner self and soulful intellect to manage the mind. The mesmerised spectators were transcended to the state of sheer ecstasy by the wit and wisdom of Swamiji during his hour long spellbinding speech.

At the outset extending warm welcome to the participants the main organiser and president of ORIOZ Dr. Nalini Pati thanked all the organisers, members of ORIOZ and representatives of wellwisher Organisations for their support and co –operation to hold the Webinar.

The special attraction of the web session was a very useful illuminating lecture on mind wellness delivered by Dr. Nalini Pati. A prolific physician Dr. Pati elaborately deliberated on the clinical aspect of mental immunity through his well researched powerpoint presentation. Dr. Pati narrated in minute details the medical side of the origin of mental stress, its disastrous effect on the human body and how to get cured from this much talked highly challenging and terribly risky disease in the post covid era. The Focal Point of Dr Pati’s observation was that the human body can only handle stress for a short duration of time. The long standing stress generally has a significant deleterious effect on every system of the body. Interesting fact to know from him that stress itself can enhance chances of heart attack by more than 33%. Achieving better stress control by building mental immunity helps in attaining robust productivity, focused approach and improved performances in all spheres of life.
