Robert Arnett, author of India
Unveiled, presented a slide show of
historical Indian landmarks, reli
gious temples, mosques and nature
scenes Friday.
Arnett spoke of his adventures
and experiences, and he addressed
the topics of art, culture and religion.
Arnett discussed the concept of
Dharma, meaning duty and virtue.
“India is the most metaphysi
cally blessed country in the world,”
he said.
Arnett said people become
bored because they are seeking
happiness externally, and Dharma
requires no external recognition.
Arnett said yoga has helped him
throughout his life.
“Yoga defines neutralization of
the brain waves and requires a lot
of concentration,” he said.
Arnet said his book was reject
ed by publishers, so he had to take
the financial responsibility upon
himself.
He encouraged the audience to
live their dreams and get in touch
with their higher selves.
“You're not going to live your
life fully if you try to live through
someone else,” he said. "Each of us
has a talent that we can do better
than anyone else.”
Akhilesh Ravi, president of the
India Association (IA) and a man
agement information systems grad
uate student, said IT
nett to promote
Awareness Month in!
said he hoped menfe
copies of the booktok
campus libraries.
“The quality o(tk:i
depth of the bookrea
educational materia
even many Indians a::;
about,” Ravi said,
share this with thel)’.:
Arnett said Easter,

“Until we are atpe;
cultural roots ander:
