The President said that he was a regular reader of His Divine Holiness article in the Kumudam magazine and went on to recall some of the articles to Bhagawan for further clarifications on them. He expressed his admiration for Bhagawan’s eternally smiling face and suggested to Him to devise meditation techniques for today's youth to acquire the same smiling countenance.

He also suggested to Bhagwan to devise meditation techniques specially for the mentally challenged children. Further, he appreciated Bhagawan’s initiative in taking part in the medical tests of the brain in Oklahoma in February this year, declaring that he too was involved in research efforts to fully explore the connections between the various emotions and the human brain.
