The session, chaired by Dr. Sajjan Singh(Chinmaya Mission, Rewa), started with an evoking thought of Prof.C.R.Mukundan(Former Prof. and Head, NIMHANS, 
Bangalore) on Brain Interface of Free-Will, which was explicated as-“If you are a driver, and you know how your car works, then you’ll drive the car well”. Citing man as a rational animal in aspect of neuro-cognitive evaluation, he further stated quotes of Sir William James, as “When murders and treacheries cease to be sin, regrets are theoretical absurdities and errors”.
Divulging further intricacies, he highlighted certain aspects of Preattentive emotions and stimulus, Free Will, etc. Recognizing Response Inhibition as an extraordinary ability, and an effective way of improved stimuli, he defined it as “terminating, delaying, and finally executing the response, at the right time”. On an optimistic note, he concluded, that creating a better future, in the present is a sign of true learning.
Bringing theory to actual lifetime experiences was Prof. Rajbir Singh(Ph.D, Dept.Of Psychology, M.D.University, Rohtak).Defining positive psychology, from past experiences, as scientific study of virtues and strengths, and using it as an umbrella term for study of positive emotions, character traits, and institutions enabling them. Throwing light on strengths, and their role in success, he explained how to own, and express signature strength, which is a vital attribute of every individual.
 Having a graduate’s degree in Psychology, Dr. Sanjay Srivastava(Amity Business School, Noida) pictorially represented the “Diminishing returns in Pursuit Of Happiness”. He defined all aspects of well being, with the universal truth that, an auto locus (“Swastha”) person enjoys harmonious life. He wrapped up the session with the fact that true happiness lies in the learning of our virtues.
At this juncture, all the speakers were presented with a token of gratitude, and a momentum of rememberance.
