With the blessings of Sri Sathguru Ma, Swami Shrihariprasad has commenced His journey to Israel this morning to participate in the international conference “The Jewish Experience in India through Generations – A Unique Phenomenon of Coexistence” on November 10, 2025, at Moshav Nevatim.

The event highlights India’s historic role as a haven for the Jewish people. As devotees may recall, Swamiji has contributed significantly and was instrumental in the restoration of the Kadavumbhagam synagogue in Kochi.

Swamiji will address the gathering on “The Hindu Philosophical Framework that Enabled India to Welcome the Jewish People.”

Following the conference, Swamiji will be in Dubai from November 15 to 19 for other engagements.

The final session of the 𝟭𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 & 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 brought with it a sense of 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

✨ 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.

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

✨ And finally, a heartfelt vote of thanks — 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 — ready to live the peace we spoke of.

From a deeply personal lens on justice in Sri Lanka, to the role of education in shaping peaceful minds… from the impact of war on children, to the call for environmental justice and the sacred role of forests — the dialogue was as 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 as it was 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Day 3 began with light, reflection, and powerful conversations. 🕯️✨
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 — 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 today’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 — it’s a collective responsibility.
