The Vision of the Veda in the light of Sri Aurobindo and its role in the future of humanity is the primary focus of the Conference.
“The Veda was the beginning of our spiritual knowledge; – says Sri Aurobindo, – the Veda will remain its end.”
Conference Theme
Sri Aurobindo defines the three steps that India must take to be able to help humanity rise to a higher consciousness:
- The recovery of the old spiritual knowledge and experience in all its splendour, depth and fullness is its first, most essential work.
- The flowing of this spirituality into new forms of philosophy, literature, art, science and critical knowledge is the second.
- An original dealing with modern problems in the light of the Indian spirit and the endeavour to formulate a greater synthesis of a spiritualised society is the third and most difficult.
Its success on these three lines will be the measure of its help to the future of humanity.” (The Foundations of Indian Culture, Sri Aurobindo, Page 15).
