Bhaktivedanta Institute has been organizing Essay Competition for the past 15 years. This was introductory concepted by Dr. T. D. Singh (His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami), the founding director of Bhaktivedanta Institute. Dr. Singh had lots of concern for the student community with regard to their holistic development in the way of expressing thoughts in writing, painting and so on. He felt our younger generations were exposed to the latest scientific and technological developments in various disciplines at numerous colleges and universities around the world, but lacked spiritual foundation to make proper use of them. Hence, Bhaktivedanta Institute felt the need to organize Essay Competition on the interface of Science and Spirituality.
