The auditorium was fully packed at COER University where the religious singer and motivational speaker Jay Kishori was to give a lecture on how to be successful in life. Jaya Kishori, a well-known name in the religious world who is devoted to Lord Krishna and gives discourses on Srimad Bhagwat Katha, left the audience and students spellbound with her motivating words and enigmatic presence. The occasion was 76th birth anniversary of the founder and Chancellor of COER university, J C Jain.

In her talk on how to be successful for engineering students of COER University, Jaya Kishori said that gaining marks in school or college should not be the goal of students but the goal should be how to be successful. “Marks do not determine how successful you are but knowledge determines. After passing out from college your knowledge and wisdom gained, is going to chart your growth curve and not scores gained in academics.” Jaya also stressed on the need of taking ‘sattvic’ food during exam period as it helped a person be more focused and calm. She also goaded the youngsters to make friends wisely. She cited examples from the epic Mahabharata that one must have friends like Krishna who raise you in life and not ‘Shakuni’ who make life doomed. She also sang a couplet from her musical album on the demand of the audience. Naresh Mohan introduced her to the audience with her brief profile.
Popularly known as ‘Kishori Ji’ and ‘Meera of Modern Era, ‘ Jaya left an everlasting impression on her listeners. J C Jain, Chancellor COER University said the tips given by Jaya will help students overcome wrong habits in life and be progressive in their career.
