Women’s Conference 3 - 5 February 2012 | | |
| | |
“Technology has made the World into a Global Village & Spirituality has made it into a Global Family.” | | |
- H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar | | |
| | |
The quest for knowledge has given birth to technology and we use technology to further this quest. Be it of material or spiritual dimensions, technology, through the ages, has been an unparalleled aid. We live in a world where technology is prevalent and relevant in virtually every area of our lives. As women, our lives have been redefined by the incredible technological developments taking place in our times. Whether we are pioneers or the end users; whether from the developed world or the developing world, our communications, social interactions and lifestyles have all been impacted. | | |
In this Conference entitled “Women & Technology”, we seek to explore and discuss: | | |
• The impact of technology on society at large and in the lives of women in specific. | | |
• The fascinating connect between Spirituality and Technology. | | |
• To bring awareness in tech-savvy women about attending to the source by relaxing and recharging her energies through spiritual practices like yoga and meditation. | | |
• Means to empower women in developing parts of the world through technology and to facilitate technological education. | | |
• Creation of an information bridge between women from different parts of society. | | |
In the words of H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar; “Spirituality is the Technology of the Consciousness.” The Source of all technology and creativity is the human mind. | | |
This Conference is dedicated to Saraswati, the Goddess of Knowledge, Wisdom and the Arts and to the Goddesses of Wisdom and Learning in all cultures across the world. | | |
Saraswati is the Goddess of Knowledge, Wisdom and the Arts in India. In Sanskrit, ‘Sara’ means the Essence and ‘Swa’ means the Self. Goddess Saraswati is the Ocean of understanding and consciousness that vibrates with different kinds of learning. | | |
