International Conference on Happiness and Well-Being amidst Polycrisis: Insights from Indian Knowledge Systems

Conference Highlights

<b>12th International Conference on Happiness and Well-Being amidst Polycrisis: Insights from Indian Knowledge Systems</b><br/><br/><br/><br/>The International Conference on "Happiness
and Well-Being amidst Polycrisis: Insights from Indian Knowledge
Systems" examines how Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS)
address today’s global crises—environmental, economic,
social, and psychological—that collectively form a "polycrisis."
With insights from the Vedas, Upnishads, Bhagavad Gita, Yoga,
Ayurveda, ancient education, and legal systems, IKS offers
holistic approaches to foster resilience, well-being, and
happiness.<br/>These teachings emphasize balanced growth, uniting physical,
mental, and spiritual dimensions to enhance resilience and
peace. Key IKS contributions include Yoga for physical and
mental strength, Ayurveda for holistic health, and Vedanta
for self-awareness. The ancient Indian education system integrated
intellectual and spiritual growth, while traditional legal
principles promoted justice and social harmony. Moreover,
sustainable agricultural practices rooted in IKS support environmental
balance and community welfare.<br/>In simple terms, Indian Knowledge Systems
(IKS) provide lasting tools to handle complex crises, building
modern well-being on proven, practical wisdom from the past."May all be happy, may all be free from illness, may
all experience auspiciousness, and may no one suffer."<br/>Mahaupanishad, Chapter 6, Verse 71"The whole world is but one family."
