The middle stage of life should be inspired by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda.” Dr. Indrajeet Bhalerao added, “The teachings of Saints of Maharashtra is not reflected much in Higher Education today. In earlier times, the work of public education was done only by literature written by the saints. Many singers have gotten famous by singing the verses written by saints, then why are the original writers of these verses being forgotten?” Prof. Dr. Vishwanath Karad said, “This Endowment Lecture Series, has not only aimed at discussions, but has seen many lectures being delivered by heart, which has helped us enrich ourselves.
