YOGA SEMINAR DURING
UJJAIN KUMBHA MELA, INDIA
Humankind has always nurtured possibilities of seemingly
distinct identities and affiliations coexisting and interacting with each other
in harmonious ways.India for instance offers a unique example of peaceful
transactions of multiple identities. Often described as a river, constantly
refreshed by fresh streams, the Indian civilization reveals a remarkable
propensity to respect and absorb traditions and rituals across religions and
cultures. The quest for truth through a reconciliation of diverse viewpoints
has ever been intrinsic to Hindu thought. Rigveda thus pronounced “Ekah va idam
vi babhuv sarvam” (That which is one has multiplied unto all) and Ekam Sad
Vipra bahudha vadanti (The truth is one, the sages express it variously) and
further ‘Aa no bhadrah Krtavo yantu Vishvatah’ (May noble and auspicious
thoughts come to us from all over the Universe). Such dialogical tradition and
non-dualistic ethos creates a natural space for Yoga and cultural pluralism and
diversities. Unsurprisingly India has long been a preferred destination for
various Yogic religious and cultural communities from afar. In recent times too
we could readily discover several lived instances of Yogic cultural pluralism
and syncretism.
It is in this context this seminar will deliberate upon the
‘lived in’ experiences of plural Yogic identities and how our diverse
associations and affiliations are played out in any specific context. It is
befitting to host such conference Kumbha Mela 2016 Ujjain
which apart from being the holy city of Hindus is seen as a gathering place of
all religions and cultures wherein streams of shared religious and cultural
practices dominated the public space and facilitated a peaceful transaction of
inter community demotic superstitious and local practices.
The Kumbha 2016 YOGA seminar based on theme “Yoga for Peace
and Humanity” from April 26-30th 2016 will be a meeting place for aesthetics
and yogis of various sects of the world, almost like a parliament of Yoga for
discussions on religious doctrines and possible reforms of yoga.
The YOGA seminar will provide a multidisciplinary forum for
networking and the sharing of information related to new research and
evidence-based outcomes of Scientific YOGA. The YOGA seminar will facilitate
stronger linkages between Yoga,medical science and religious doctrines and will
explore in greater depth the important overlap and interaction between and the
program areas:Yoga for Peace and Humanity.
