      The valedictory session of the event was address by the  Chief Guest of the august gathering Shri Arif Mohammed Khan, Hon’ble Governor of Kerala and former Cabinet Minister, Energy & Civil Aviation, Govt. of India.

      The gathering also saw the participation of  Hon’ble Shri Dada Idate – Chairman of National Commission for Denotified Nomadic and Semi-nomadic Tribes, New Delhi along with Hon’ble Priyankar Upadhyaya – UNESCO Chair Professor, Banaras Hindu University, Global Fellow, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).

      The three-day event witnessed ten plenary sessions with an overarching theme on attainment of World Peace through the amalgamation of Science, Religion and Philosophy in backdrop of the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

      The sessions emphasised on India’s voyage of science from the Vedic to Modern Times and need for a value-based universal education.

      The need for developing universities into laboratories of spiritually oriented scientific research and innovation centres was also stress upon.

      Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra Said :

      “There is a need for academic institutions in our country that not only impart scientific and technical knowledge but also shape young minds into spiritual beings. While we focus on artificial intelligence, the ideas of spiritual intelligence should not evade our minds.”

      “India being a Vishwaguru is not a hollow dream but an established fact. India is the only civilization known to be recognized for imparting an ocean of knowledge and wisdom all over the world. Education is the only game-changer, it can help revive our past glory and become Vishwaguru again. There is a need for erudite teachers who will attract students across the globe to learn about all the religions in the world because Indian culture doesn’t differentiate between science and spirituality. Knowledge helps to live life with prosperity and dharma helps to live this life successfully, both go hand-in-hand with each other.”

      Shri. Rahul V. Karad – Managing Trustee & Executive President, MAEER’s MIT and Executive President, MIT World Peace University Said : 

      “The world is going through turbulent times with a raging pandemic which has further been exacerbated by conflict between nations. Conflicts like these make us realise the importance of inculcating and imparting value-based education to our pupils which has a blend of science and spirituality. Attainment of world peace and harmony lays on the foundation of imparting a Peace Curriculum, outcomes of which will be something unique to look out for.”


      UNESCO Chair Holder Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad – Founder & Chief Patron, MAEER’s MIT, Pune & President, MIT World Peace University Said : 

      “Artha, Kama, and Moksha are the standing pillars of life. Every university across India & the world needs to have spirituality-oriented scientific laboratories in order to lay the foundations of a peaceful generation. Science without spirituality is a device for destruction. Spirituality should not be considered as a matter of blind faith; but as individuals’ self-constructed beliefs.’’

      Mankind is witnessing conflict, the fight between good and evil, sacrifice and greed, virtues and vices, tolerance and obstinacy, religious coexistence and fundamentalism, traditional time-tested principles v/s hasty gains and ego, and so on.

      Quotes

      Mangesh T. Karad – Member Trustee & President, Managing Committee, MAEER & Executive President, MIT ADT University, Pune Said :

      “The United Nations has set 17 sustainable objectives, but there is a need to pursue the 18th goal of interfaith dialogue. Making it happen is the most important condition for humanity’s evolution on this planet! The main task is to address and spread the concept of world peace so that future generations might live in peace. MIT recognized this problem and, as a result, promoted the idea of world peace through institutions, leaders, religious leaders, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) all over the world. Science is needed for physical development, religion is required for peace in society, and philosophy is needed for Internal Peace. The combination of all these will give a fruitful solution”.

      As teachers and students, we must understand that the most important issue is the ” celebration of diversity” One reality is a scientific reality in science, religion, and philosophy, while another reality that science cannot represent is expressed in the divine form, i.e. only through religion. Experience is another existence, which is a spiritual reality that transcends religion. MIT teaches such amalgamation to students or teachers, and this is the only university where all three concerns are discussed simultaneously. People seeking the truth will find a complete holistic understanding of the world here!


      Padma Vibhushan awardee and World Famous Scientist – Dr. Rahunath A. Mashelkar Said :

      This dome is not a physical object, but a spiritual message. The name of the University itself carries the message and commitment to the word Peace. Peace outside depends upon peace within! Spirituality is an inner journey to discover inner peace and is all about expanding our inner capabilities to live, love, and learn! War (Russia- Ukraine) is on its 36th  day, but the war has bigger manifestations, inequality is also the war that many countries are facing. The current scenario of headlines that we see today is also a war. There is a need to look at inside wars that are destabilizing society.’’


      Dr. Sunil Rai,  Vice-Chancellor at the University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehradun Said :

      Science without spirituality is a possible device of destruction and spiritually without science could result into superstition, mysticism, and worse bigotry”.

      Prof. Dr. Sandeep Sancheti, Vice-Chancellor, Marwadi University & Former President, AIU, New Delhi Said :

      Where science ends spirituality begins, therefore education institutions are the best place to see the amalgamation of both”.
