โœจ A thoughtful summary of the conference proceedings reminded us of the wisdom shared, the stories heard, and the many hearts touched over the past few days.

โœจ A soul-stirring valedictory address added depth and grace to the moment โ€” a gentle reminder that peace is not an event, but an ongoing practice.

โœจ And finally, a heartfelt vote of thanks โ€” acknowledging every voice, every hand, and every intention that made this conference possible.

With hearts full and minds inspired, we carry forward the light of this gathering โ€” ready to live the peace we spoke of.

From Sanskrit philosophy to social activism, each speaker offered a unique insight into how peace can be cultivated โ€” not just in policy, but in perception, daily discourse, and deep listening.

Topics ranged from: โœจ Justice as the cornerstone of lasting peace
โœจ Peace and justice in the world of social media
โœจ Interfaith dialogue and its healing role
โœจ Civil societyโ€™s vital responsibility in promoting peace

It was a session that reminded us that peace is not a one-time goal โ€” but a shared journey, nurtured through truth, trust, and understanding.

Day 3 began with light, reflection, and powerful conversations. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธโœจ
The morning session at the 10th Annual Peace and Reconciliation Conference opened with the sacred lighting of the lamp and a moving peace prayer led by the students of VMRF โ€” a moment that set the tone for the profound discussions to follow.
The speakers explored the urgent and complex themes of justice in an AI-dominated era, the role of civil society, and the challenges to peace in todayโ€™s rapidly evolving world. Thought-provoking reflections also shed light on workplace justice and the emotional impact of armed conflict on children.
From global concerns to deeply human stories, the session reminded us that peace is not just a goal โ€” itโ€™s a collective responsibility.

The future speaks โ€” and it speaks of peace, purpose, and possibility. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

At todayโ€™s Student Conclave, six brilliant student teams took the stage to present their ideas and innovations โ€” guided by heart, driven by insight. Their voices were heard by a remarkable panel of mentors from the fields of mental health, psychology, journalism, education, and public policy.

The event also featured a special showcase by the three winners from the Innovation Cell โ€” and what a showcase it was! ๐Ÿ’ก

A heartfelt thank you to our esteemed mentors for their wisdom, encouragement, and thoughtful engagement with the next generation of changemakers. Hereโ€™s a glimpse of the energy, collaboration, and joy that filled the space. ๐Ÿ“ธ

What a day it was!๐Ÿ’ซ
From powerful conversations to soul-stirring reflections, today was filled with meaning, purpose, and shared vision. And of course โ€” no day at the Peace & Reconciliation Conference would be complete without those joyful, heartfelt group pictures! ๐Ÿ“ธ
Because beyond the sessions and speeches, itโ€™s the people โ€” the smiles, the togetherness, the silent bonds of unity โ€” that truly light up this journey.
Hereโ€™s to memories made, connections formed, and the peace we continue to build โ€” one moment, one conversation, and one picture at a time. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโœจ

For transformative living

In the year 2008, Swami Shrihariprasad, propelled by an anxiety to keep alive interfaith dialogues and to set a living agenda for Advaitha or Oneness of the human race, established the Sri Vishnu Mohan Foundation under the aegis of Sri Gnana Advaitha Peetam, Chennai. In its secular outreach programs and culturally diverse calendar, Sri Vishnu Mohan Foundation hosts weekly talks by acclaimed spiritual masters, intellectual exploration of high philosophy, Vedic mathematics, sustainable development, multidimensional peace, teaching methodologies of philosophy, interpretation of texts, facets of Indian tradition and culture, ritualistic patterns of living, exploration of heritage, understanding of diverse faiths, ruminations of devotional poetry and music besides annual cultural fests like the Jayadeva Festival, Sri Krishna Utsavam and Chidagni โ€“ The Fire of Consciousness festival.
