National Seminar at Ladakh University: Brainstorming on Indian Philosophy

A national seminar titled “World Peace and Indian Philosophy: India’s Role and Cultural Values in World Peace” was organized at Ladakh University in Leh. The event was jointly hosted by Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology (Hisar, Haryana), Ladakh University, Himalaya Pariwar, and the Sindhu Darshan Yatra Samiti.

Delivering the keynote address, Speaker Vasudev Devnani stated that the world today is grappling with unprecedented challenges like the decline of human values, mental stress, social inequalities, and environmental crises. In such critical times, India’s eternal thought (Sanatan Vichar) is highly capable of paving the way for sustainable development and lasting peace.

Indian Culture: A Holistic Vision of Life

Mr. Devnani highlighted the core strengths and values of Indian culture in his address:

• Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: India has always considered the whole world as one family. From the Vedas written on the banks of the Indus River to the present day, our consciousness encompasses the desire for the happiness, health, and well-being of all.
• Syncretic Approach: The greatest strength of Indian culture is its acceptability. It has always advocated for global welfare by seamlessly assimilating different ideas and traditions, never resorting to expansionism or dominance.
• Ancient Sages as Scientists: Equating Indian sages with modern ‘research scholars’ and scientists, he noted that the profound research they conducted thousands of years ago on nature, the universe, and human life remains completely relevant today.

Solidarity Against Terrorism and Global Acceptance of Yoga

Expressing deep concern over rising global terrorism, the Assembly Speaker warned that it is a threat to the very existence of all humanity, not just one nation or society. Eradicating it requires strong political will, mutual trust, and global cooperation. Recalling Swami Vivekananda’s historic 1893 Chicago address, he noted that the greeting “Brothers and Sisters” was indeed a powerful clarion call for universal brotherhood.

Furthermore, he described ‘Yoga’ as India’s invaluable heritage and gift to the world. He reminded the audience that thanks to the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the UN General Assembly declared June 21 as the ‘International Day of Yoga’ with the overwhelming support of over 177 countries, representing a massive global recognition of India’s rich cultural legacy.

Dignitaries Present at the Seminar

The stage of this national seminar was graced by several senior academicians, leaders, and thinkers, including:

During his stay in Ladakh, Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani visited the Lok Bhawan for a courtesy meeting with Ladakh’s Lieutenant Governor (LG), Mr. Vinai Kumar Saxena. During this meeting, Mr. Devnani presented the LG with a book titled ‘Sanatan Sanskriti Ki Atal Drishti’ (The Unwavering Vision of Eternal Culture).

Meaningful Discussion on National Issues: The two leaders engaged in an in-depth discussion on crucial topics such as the holistic development of border areas, good governance, promoting tourism, improving higher education, and preserving the country’s cultural heritage. Mr. Devnani highly praised the ongoing administrative innovations and development works being executed in Ladakh under the LG’s leadership.

Appreciating the Architecture of the Historic ‘Leh Palace’

As part of his visit, Speaker Vasudev Devnani also thoroughly explored the renowned historic monument, ‘Leh Palace’. He learned about the grand palace’s majestic architecture, its rich history, and its significance in Ladakhi culture.

Praising the grandeur of the palace, he noted that the 9-story building, constructed in the 17th century, is an unparalleled example of Himalayan and Tibetan architecture. This palace stands as a living symbol of India’s ancient heritage, serving as a vital medium to connect the new generation with its roots and traditions. He also added that due to the infrastructure and heritage conservation efforts led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ladakh has emerged as a major center of attraction on the global tourism map today.

The Assembly Speaker emphasized that a city’s entry point defines its first impression. Therefore, Ajmer’s main gateway is being developed to mirror its historical, cultural, and educational identity.

Heritage Lighting, Fountains, and Terracotta Themes to Redefine the Stretch

During the inspection, Speaker Mr. Devnani provided several practical guidelines to officials to ensure the execution of the project in a phased manner:

• Theme-Based Beautification: The entire route from the Ashok Udyan entry gate to the bus stand will be transformed based on a heritage theme. It will feature decorative heritage lights, artistic fountains, well-curated green belts, and beautifully landscaped gardens at designated intervals.
• Wall Paintings and Murals: Side walls along the road will be painted in rich terracotta shades, showcasing murals of Ajmer’s historical legacy, Chauhan rulers, iconic lakes, and legendary personalities. This will effectively introduce the city’s rich past to the newer generation and visiting tourists.
• Identity as an Educational Hub: Ajmer’s distinct reputation as a major center of education will also be creatively highlighted through artistic paintings and visual mediums along the entry route.

Statue of Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan at Pushkar Circle; Anti-Encroachment Drive Ordered

To streamline urban development, the Assembly Speaker ordered strict measures:

• New Circle and Statue: A grand traffic circle will be constructed at the MDS University Pushkar Crossroads, featuring a majestic statue of Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan. The entire surrounding area will be developed with a unified heritage look.
• Encroachment and Cleanliness: Instructions were given to immediately clear wild bushes and illegal encroachments around the Ashok Udyan gate to make the entire area look clean, open, and organized.
• RPSC Circle Development: Officials were directed to maintain uniform road width on both sides in front of the RPSC office and to build a beautiful circle at the RPSC crossroads, complete with an iconic symbol representing the city.

Permanent Solution for Waterlogging

Taking serious note of the persistent waterlogging issue near the Royal Enfield showroom on Jaipur Road, Mr. Devnani pulled up officials and directed the immediate development of an effective drainage system. He stressed that commuting must remain hassle-free and traffic should flow smoothly even during the monsoon season.
