DR. SHRINETRA PANDEY REPRESENTS JAINISM IN GLOBAL INTERFAITH DIALOGUE ON "WAR AND LOVING LIFE"

On July 19, 2025, Dr. Shrinetra Pandey, Director of ISJS, was invited to speak at an international interfaith dialogue titled War and Loving Life in the Scripture. The event was organized by the World Alliance of Religion's Peace (WARP), a branch of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), based in South Korea. The meeting was conducted virtually via Zoom.

Representing Jainism, Dr. Pandey offered insights rooted in the principles of non-violence (Ahimsa), compassion, and reverence for all living beings. He emphasized Jainism’s unwavering commitment to peace and its philosophical stance against war in any form. His presentation highlighted how Jain teachings advocate for resolving conflicts through dialogue, understanding, and spiritual introspection rather than aggression. Joining him in the dialogue was Buddhist monk Ven. Karunanand Thera, who shared the Buddhist viewpoint on the topic.

The dialogue served as a platform for fostering mutual respect and collaboration among global faith communities, reinforcing the shared goal of promoting peace and harmony in a world often divided by violence and misunderstanding.
