The 95th edition of the Shankar Vyakhyanmala was held in the sacred town of Omkareshwar, Madhya Pradesh, attracting scholars and devotees interested in Hindu philosophy.

Concluding her talk, the Swamini reaffirmed the relevance of Vedanta in contemporary society, noting its potential to foster ethical conduct and inner peace amidst rapid social change.
