“We all know that the real goal of education is not to create people who understand only the

language of technology; the main purpose of education should be to impart a culture of the
heart, a culture based on spiritual values. There are two types of education: education for a
living and education for life. When we study in college, striving to become a doctor, a lawyer or
an engineer, this is education for a living. But education for life requires an understanding of the
essential principles of spirituality; it is about gaining a deeper understanding of the world, our
minds, our emotions, and ourselves”.
Mata Amritanandamayi Devi
Our beloved Chancellor
