“Yuddha Nahi Buddha” — Intellectuals’ Powerful Call for Peace Resonates at National Seminar in Mumbai
Mumbai: In a world overshadowed by the looming threats of war and global conflict, Mumbai’s leading intellectuals came together to send a powerful message of peace, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence. The national seminar titled “Yudh Nahin, Buddha” (No War, Only Buddha), organized by ‘Vagdhara’, became a resounding platform for voices advocating humanity, wisdom, and inner transformation.

The timely seminar, coordinated by filmmaker and litterateur Dr. Vagish Saraswat, brought together thinkers from diverse fields who emphasized that war is not fought merely on physical borders, but first in the minds and thoughts of human beings — and it is at this inner level that the journey toward peace must begin.
Speakers highlighted India’s balanced and visionary diplomacy, particularly its responsible stance amid sensitive global issues involving Iran and Israel. India’s foreign policy was widely praised as mature, pragmatic, and guided by wisdom in the face of rising global instability.
Key Highlights from the Seminar
Filmmaker Rumi Jafri, the chief guest, observed that the greatest war a human being fights is within oneself. “Life itself is a continuous struggle,” he said.
Veerendra Yagnik, the spiritual speaker who presided over the session, described every moment of life as a process of inner conflict and self-conquest. “Every single day is a war — a war for self-mastery,” he noted.
Retired Naval Commander Bhushan Diwan shared valuable insights from his military experience, stressing that clarity and firmness are essential elements for victory in any conflict.
Dr. Karuna Shankar Upadhyay, Head of the Hindi Department at Mumbai University, elaborated on India’s defence mechanisms and military strategy, underscoring the depth and foresight of the nation’s security policy.
In his opening remarks, Dr. Vagish Saraswat summed up India’s policy in crisp words: “We do not provoke anyone, but if someone provokes us, we do not spare them either.”
The seminar was further enriched by the presence and views of social activist Shivji Singh, Manisha Joshi, Advocate Bhargav Tiwari, theatre artist Sagir Khan, senior journalist Shailendra Srivastava, TV journalist Sunil Singh, and writer Vivek Agrawal.
Actor Ravi Yadav conducted the proceedings with great poise.
Literary & Artistic Expressions for Peace
The seminar beautifully blended intellectual discourse with the soft power of literature and arts. Poet-journalist Omprakash Tiwari’s peace-oriented songs were soulfully rendered by actress Vinita Tandon Yadav. Eminent poet Gopal Das Neeraj’s powerful poem “Agar Teesra Yudh Hua To…” (If There Were a Third World War…) was recited with deep emotion by Amar Tripathi, leaving the audience profoundly moved.
Several poets and writers including Nandita Maji Sharma, Shikha Goswami, Meenu Madan, and Vishu presented their original poems on the themes of war and peace.
The event also witnessed the gracious presence of Priyanka Singh, Gopi Krishna Bubna, Advocate Anees, Advocate Prabhat, director Kamar Hajipuri, and journalist Anwar Zaidi.
The Core Message
The seminar concluded with a clear and powerful message: “War is the end of humanity, while the path of Buddha leads us toward peace, compassion, and harmonious coexistence.”
The voice that rose from Mumbai is not limited to one city — it carries a thoughtful message to the global community: True and lasting peace cannot be achieved through weapons, but only through awakened consciousness, wisdom, and compassionate thinking.
Go Spiritual News Magazine & App salutes this noble initiative and reaffirms its commitment to spreading the timeless message of peace, non-violence, and inner awakening in these challenging times.

बुद्धिजीवियों का आवाह्न — “युद्ध नहीं, बुद्ध”
‘वाग्धारा’ की राष्ट्रीय संगोष्ठी में गूँजी शांति की स्वर-लहरी
मुंबई। वैश्विक परिदृश्य में युद्ध की आशंकाओं से घिरे समय में मुंबई के बुद्धिजीवियों ने एक स्वर में शांति, संवाद और सह-अस्तित्व का संदेश दिया। ‘वाग्धारा’ द्वारा आयोजित राष्ट्रीय संगोष्ठी “युद्ध नहीं, बुद्ध” में वैचारिक चर्चा के साथ मानवता के पक्ष में सशक्त आवाज भी उठी।

फिल्मकार-साहित्यकार डाॅ वागीश सारस्वत के संयोजन में हुई इस सामयिक संगोष्ठी में वक्ताओं ने स्पष्ट किया कि युद्ध केवल सीमाओं पर नहीं, बल्कि मन और विचारों में भी लड़ा जाता है और उसी स्तर पर शांति की शुरुआत भी संभव है। भारत की संतुलित और दूरदर्शी कूटनीति, विशेषकर ईरान और इज़रायल जैसे संवेदनशील मुद्दों पर, विशेष चर्चा में रही। वर्तमान भारतीय कूटनीति को वैश्विक अस्थिरता के बीच विवेकपूर्ण और जिम्मेदार रुख बताया गया।
मुख्य अतिथि फिल्मकार रूमी जाफरी ने जीवन को एक सतत संघर्ष बताते हुए कहा कि “सबसे बड़ा युद्ध इंसान का अपने भीतर होता है।” संगोष्ठी की अध्यक्षता कर रहे आध्यात्मिक प्रवक्ता वीरेंद्र याग्निक ने कहा कि जीवन का प्रत्येक क्षण आत्मसंघर्ष और आत्मविजय की प्रक्रिया है। जीवन का हर दिन युद्ध है। नौसेना के सेवानिवृत्त कमांडर भूषण दीवान ने अपने सैन्य अनुभव साझा करते हुए कहा कि स्पष्टता और दृढ़ता किसी भी संघर्ष में विजय के मूल तत्व हैं। मुंबई विश्वविद्यालय के हिंदी विभागाध्यक्ष डॉ. करुणा शंकर उपाध्याय ने रक्षा तंत्र और सैन्य संरचना पर विस्तार से प्रकाश डालते हुए भारत की सुरक्षा नीति की गहराई को रेखांकित किया।
प्रस्तावना रखते हुए डॉ. वागीश सारस्वत ने भारत की नीति को दो टूक शब्दों में व्यक्त किया—“हम किसी को छेड़ते नहीं, पर यदि कोई छेड़े, तो उसे छोड़ते भी नहीं।” समाजसेवी शिवजी सिंह, मनीषा जोशी, एडवोकेट भार्गव तिवारी, रंगकर्मी सगीर ख़ान, वरिष्ठ पत्रकार शैलेन्द्र श्रीवास्तव, टीवी जर्नलिस्ट सुनील सिंह और लेखक विवेक अग्रवाल ने भी अपने विचारों से संगोष्ठी को समृद्ध किया। मंच संचालन अभिनेता रवि यादव ने प्रभावशाली ढंग से किया। संगोष्ठी में साहित्य और कला का प्रभावी समावेश देखने को मिला। पत्रकार व कवि ओमप्रकाश तिवारी के गीतों को अभिनेत्री विनीता टंडन यादव ने स्वर दिए, वहीं महान कवि गोपाल दास नीरज की प्रसिद्ध कविता “अगर तीसरा युद्ध हुआ तो…” का मार्मिक पाठ अमर त्रिपाठी ने किया। इन प्रस्तुतियों ने उपस्थित जनों को भावनात्मक रूप से झकझोरते हुए शांति के महत्व को और गहराई से स्थापित किया।
कार्यक्रम में नंदिता माजी शर्मा, शिखा गोस्वामी, मीनू मदान और विशु सहित अनेक रचनाकारों ने युद्ध और शांति पर अपनी कविताएँ प्रस्तुत कीं। इस अवसर पर प्रियंका सिंह, गोपी कृष्ण बुबना, एडवोकेट अनीस, एडवोकेट प्रभात, निर्देशक कमर हाजीपुरी और पत्रकार अनवर जैदी की सक्रिय उपस्थिति ने आयोजन को व्यापक आयाम प्रदान किया। इस संगोष्ठी का निष्कर्ष एक स्पष्ट संदेश के रूप में सामने आया “युद्ध मानवता का अंत है, जबकि बुद्ध का मार्ग ही शांति, करुणा और सह-अस्तित्व की ओर ले जाता है।”
मुंबई से उठी यह आवाज केवल एक शहर तक सीमित नहीं, बल्कि विश्व समुदाय के लिए एक विचारशील संदेश है कि शांति हथियारों से नहीं, विचारों से ही स्थायी शांति संभव है।

Buddha Purnima 2026: A Sacred Full Moon of Birth, Enlightenment, and Eternal Peace
Mumbai, May 1, 2026 — As the full moon rises on Vaishakha Purnima this evening, millions of devotees across India and the world are observing Buddha Purnima, also known as Buddha Jayanti or Vesak. This auspicious day marks the 2588th birth anniversary of Gautama Buddha and holds profound triple significance: the birth of Prince Siddhartha Gautama in Lumbini, his attainment of enlightenment (Bodhi) under the sacred Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, and his Mahaparinirvana (final passing) in Kushinagar — all believed to have occurred on the same full moon day.
According to the Panchang, the Purnima Tithi begins on April 30, 2026, at around 9:12 PM and ends on May 1 at approximately 10:52 PM. Moonrise is expected around 6:52 PM, making May 1 the primary day of celebration in India and Nepal.
The Life and Timeless Wisdom of the Enlightened One
Born as Siddhartha Gautama around 563 BCE to King Suddhodana and Queen Maya in the Shakya clan, the prince lived a sheltered life of luxury. At 29, moved by the sight of human suffering — old age, illness, death, and an ascetic — he renounced his royal life in search of truth. After years of intense meditation and austerity, he attained supreme enlightenment at 35, becoming the Buddha (the Awakened One).
Buddha’s core teachings — the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path — offer a practical roadmap out of suffering (dukkha). He emphasized Ahimsa (non-violence), compassion (Karuna), mindfulness, and the Middle Way, a balanced path avoiding extremes. In India, where he is also revered as the ninth avatar of Lord Vishnu in certain traditions, his message of inner peace and ethical living continues to inspire Hindus and Buddhists alike.
On this day, his words resonate deeply: “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” And “Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.”
Celebrations Across India and Beyond
In India, Buddha Purnima is a gazetted holiday in several states, including Maharashtra (where Mumbai falls), Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and others. Devotees flock to sacred sites:
- Bodh Gaya — site of enlightenment, where the Mahabodhi Temple glows with lamps and prayers.
- Sarnath — where Buddha delivered his first sermon.
- Kushinagar — associated with his Mahaparinirvana.
- Lumbini (in Nepal) — the birthplace.
Temples and viharas come alive with chanting of sutras, meditation sessions, offerings of flowers, incense, fruits, and candles. Many observe fasting or vegetarian diets, practice Dana (charity), and engage in acts of kindness. Processions, lantern releases, and discourses on Dharma are common.
In Mumbai and Maharashtra, Buddhist communities, including followers of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s Navayana tradition, gather at viharas for prayers and cultural programs. Homes and public spaces are adorned with Buddha statues, lotus flowers, and serene decorations symbolizing purity and awakening.
Globally, Vesak is celebrated with similar reverence in countries like Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Bhutan, and among Tibetan Buddhists, often featuring colorful processions and community service.
A Call to Inner Awakening in Turbulent Times
Spiritual leaders remind us that Buddha Purnima is not merely a commemoration but an invitation to personal transformation. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has often described the day as an opportunity to cultivate “warm-heartedness and compassion” in daily life, urging followers to lead meaningful lives rooted in ethical conduct and mindfulness.
In a world facing conflict, environmental challenges, and mental health struggles, Buddha’s emphasis on equanimity, non-attachment, and universal compassion feels especially relevant. Practitioners are encouraged to meditate, reflect on the impermanence of life, and perform selfless service.
How to Observe Buddha Purnima Spiritually
- Morning prayers and meditation: Visit a local temple or create a quiet altar at home with a Buddha statue, flowers, and a lit lamp.
- Recite teachings: Read from the Dhammapada or listen to discourses on the Four Noble Truths.
- Acts of merit: Donate to the needy, feed animals, or practice kindness without expectation.
- Evening lantern lighting: As the full moon rises, light candles or diyas symbolizing the dispelling of ignorance by wisdom.
As the moon illuminates the night sky on this sacred Purnima, Go Spiritual News wishes all readers inner peace and the light of wisdom. May the teachings of the Buddha guide humanity toward harmony, compassion, and liberation from suffering.
