Speaker Vijender Gupta on Sunday while addressing a seminar said the nation has a bigger role of a ‘Vishva Guru’ in global peace calling, “Peace is the true path of humanity, and non-violence is its greatest strength."

In his address, Gupta said, “India’s history is a history of peace and non-violence. Lord Mahavira proclaimed ‘Ahimsa is the supreme religion’, Lord Buddha envisioned a continent united in compassion and Mahatma Gandhi proved that even imperialist powers could be defeated through truth and non-violence.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has revived this heritage on international platforms. In 2022, during the Russia–Ukraine war, he said at the United Nations, G20, and BRICS – ‘This is not an era of war, but a time for peace, stability, and cooperation.’ India gave the timely message that the future lies not in war but in peace, he added.

The Speaker also congratulated Acharya Lokesh and Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti for establishing India’s first ‘World Peace Centre’ and lauded the historic occasion of hosting the first-ever symposium in its new auditorium.

Highlighting India’s role as a ‘Vishva Guru’ (World Teacher), Gupta emphasised that India’s identity is deeply rooted in the values of peace and non-violence, as enshrined in the teachings of Lord Mahavira, Lord Buddha, and Mahatma Gandhi.

He also mentioned the upcoming collaboration between the World Peace Center and Stanford University, which will promote educational and cultural exchanges, carrying the message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — the world is one family — across borders.

Such partnerships, prove that humanity’s problems are solved not through war but through cooperation, dialogue, and mutual respect, Gupta added.
