2024 Foundation Day
Prof. M.K. Sridhar, Founding Chancellor of Chanakya University and former Professor at Bengaluru University, reflects on the true meaning of building a university. He reminds us of that Chanakya University has no single founder, its foundation rests on the collective vision, philanthropy, and contributions of many. Drawing parallels to Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya’s efforts to establish Banaras Hindu University, Prof. Sridhar emphasizes that great institutions are built by communities, rooted in ideals and ascending with ideas.

John reminds us: “Love for the world is enmity against God.
John reminds us:
“Love for the world is enmity against God.
Whoever loves the world does not belong to Him.”
And St. Paul teaches:
“If we have food and clothing, let us be content with that.”
True contentment is far greater than prosperity.
What is the use of abundance without peace of mind?
How many will die with true peace and satisfaction?
In other words die with true peace and satisfaction. Be happy with what earthly pleasures you have enjoyed. Have the happiness that you served every body around with commitment and responsibility. You were grateful all the time.
A touching Christian reflection on human suffering, hidden pain, and the healing power of Jesus Christ.
