Conference 2017
Science, Religion &
World Peace
Government Degree College, Dharamshala
November 4, 2017
This was one of the unique conference on “Science, Religion and World Peace” organized by the Bhaktivedanta Institute Karnal. We are delighted to have an opportunity to host the conference at Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. The word ‘Dharamshala’ may be adequately translated as ‘a sanctuary for spiritual seekers’. In fact, both scientists and spiritualists are seekers of the truth exploring different aspects of Reality. Thus, the serene atmosphere of this venue was indeed advantageous to the participants to discuss, learn and exchange thoughts about ways in which global peace and harmony can be strengthened by integration of science and spirituality.
This conference was inaugurated by His Holiness The Dalai Lama. This event brought together over 900 delegates from 20 countries across the globe, to share their experiences, to learn from one another and to deliberate on ways and means to attain global peace and harmony.
The highlights of the conference included:
- Keynote address by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
- Morning session: Impact of Science, Religion and Spirituality on World Peace
- Afternoon session: Synthesis of Science and Spirituality
- Panel Discussion: Benefits of Synthesis of Science and Spirituality in modern education
Feedback from the conference was very positive – participants greatly enjoyed the chance to meet like minded people from so many countries, the opportunity to network and to learn from one another, and the chance to explore ideas.
