Additional description

Origins is not just a platform for social and cultural communications, but for enabling students to gain Spiritual Quotient. Origins primarily focuses on Spirituality and brings in various activities that are in line with it. Origins fosters the study of scriptures from Indian Heritage and allows students to know about Spiritual points of view from these holy books and enable interested students to practice them.

An organization like Origins is defined by its goal.

Bhagavad-gita chapter 2, text 41 says:

"Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one. The intelligence of those who are irresolute is many-branched."

Origins team takes this instruction from the Bhagavad-gita very seriously and is resolute in following one goal of Spirituality and taking everything else in connection to that. The central principle of operating this club provides a unique framework for the WPI community.

Unique offerings of Origins are:

1. Studying and enabling the WPI community to understand ancient scriptures like Bhagavad-gita, and Srimad Bhagavatam.

2. Practice what is being studied, i.e. Practical Spiritual experience in our daily lives.

3. The purpose is to follow Spirituality which is a different line of thought and is a valuable addition to the WPI community.
