BALASORE: The scientists of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) at Chandipur-on-sea had a unique guest to interact with them on Monday. Unlike other occasions, they got an opportunity to listen to the master of a different yet significant field ‘Veda and Spiritual Science.’
The guest was Swami Nischalananda Saraswati, Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Puri Govardhan Peeth. The occasion was ‘Divine Discourse on Veda and Vigyaan,’ organised by the Integrated Test Range (ITR), for its scientists and employees.
The event was organised a fortnight after the premier defence research agency signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Sri Venkateswara Vedic University (SVVU), sponsored by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), to conduct scientific research on Vedas and scout for possible secrets pertaining to missile technologies hidden in ancient scriptures.
