Gurugram (HR): The NorthCap University, Gurugram celebrated the Thought Lab MOU Signing Ceremony on 24th January, 2020. Established in 2018, Thought Lab was set up initially as a pilot project in NCU Campus. Thought Lab is a new conceptualization introduced by the Brahma Kumaris Education Wing, RERF for Colleges and Universities to enable students identify their thought process and change their behaviors with the help of easy Rajayoga. On witnessing behavioral changes in students, the University decided to introduce this subject to all of its students on a long-term basis, regarding which, the MOU was signed.
Addressing the august gathering, respected Dr. BK Mrutyunjaya, Chairman of Education Wing, Mount Abu shared that all the systems of the society today including the education system that is moving towards criminalization of human consciousness, businesses that are moving towards commercialization and religions that are moving towards communalization should be replaced with humanization, divinization, moralization & spiritualization. He convicted the thought that such transformation of human consciousness amongst all the negativity of the world can only be done when one connects with the Divine Power, brings self transformations and adopts divine virtues and values in his life.
