CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The National Conclave: Yoga – An Instrument of Cultural Symphony, Spiritual Dimension successfully concluded recently at Kaivalyadhama, Lonavala. Over the course of two days, the event brought together spiritual leaders from diverse faiths, including Jainism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, and Parsi traditions, to discuss the unifying and spiritual aspects of yoga.
Paramacharya, Paramahamsa Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, Padma Bhushan awardee and head of the Bihar School of Yoga, delivered the valedictory address. He said, “Yoga is not a philosophy, it is knowledge, and yoga should be seen as a lifestyle and not as practice or exercise. Culture is the constructive and positive expression of the human nature and there is a need of qualitative change in life, and our life has to be regulated by connecting with creative, constructive, uplifting and positive behaviour. Self-observation and self-correction are two important facets of Yoga and are the basic starting points for yoga practitioners in Dhyana, where comprehension and contemplation i.e. intellect and mind both are addressed.”
The conclave was organised on 18th & 19th October 2024 by prominent spiritual leaders including Swami Vishweshwarananda Ji Giri, President of Suratgiri Bangla, Haridwar, and His Holiness Acharya Lokesh Muni Ji, founder of Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti. Other dignitaries included His Eminence Chokyong Palga Rinpoche, Tibetan Buddhist Lama, Maa Hansa Ji Yogendra, President of The Yoga Institute, and Shri Suresh Prabhu, Chairman of the Centenary Committee & former Union Minister. The event opened with discussions on how yoga serves as a powerful tool for fostering cultural unity and spiritual growth.
