He was delivering the inaugural address at the Under-Graduation Students Cultural and Sports Forum inauguration, JSS College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Ooty Road, Mysuru, recently.

Being an alumnus of the College, Prof. Guru noted that every student has unique talent and the institution plays a vital role in identifying and encouraging them.

Quoting Swami Vivekananda’s words, “A sound mind in a sound body,” Prof. Guru stressed the need for physical fitness to support mental well-being. He advised the students to improve their concentration through physical activities like sports and fine arts, highlighting the benefits of activities such as Bharatanatyam and swimming in making students physically, mentally and emotionally strong.

He urged the students to participate in all the events to showcase their talents and become better versions of themselves. Additionally, he advised them to limit the use of electronic gadgets and focus more on physical activities.
