From TIme: Tibetian spiritual leader Dalai Lama is all set to meditate at the historic Nagarjuna caves near the banks of river Mahanadi at Sirpur on January 14. During his three-day visit to Chhattisgarh from January 13, to attend an international peace conference at Ravishankar Shukla University, the spiritual guru would inaugurate a seminar on Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna and his writings.

During his previous visit to Sirpur caves this year, he had promised to return and meditate at the Nagarjuna caves, located around 15 kilometres away from Sirpur in Mahasamund district on the banks of Mahanadi. As Dalai Lama considers Nagarjuna his master, he decided to meditate in the cave where his master did during the Satvahana rule.
