RSS President Mohan Bhagwat and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will address the World Hindu Congress-2023 in Bangkok later this month.
“Bangkok is set to host the World Hindu Congress (WHC) 2023 from November 24 to 26, drawing together Hindus from diverse backgrounds for a spectacular three-day intellectual gathering,” Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) joint general secretary Swami Vigyananand said in a statement.
“We are thrilled to announce the participation of distinguished figures such as Dr Mohan Bhagwat, Mata Amritanandamayi, Yogi Adityanath, and more at the World Hindu Congress (WHC) 2023 in Bangkok,” he added.
Further, Vigyananand said noted speakers like ZOHO founder Sridhar Vembu, scientist and author Anand Ranganathan, historian Vikram Sampath, and others will share their insights at the conference.
“Additionally, the three-day conference will feature talks by experts, including Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trustee and Treasurer Swami Govind Dev Giri, filmmaker Vipul A Shah, largest medical device manufacturer in Bharat – Skanray Technology Founder MD and CEO Vishwaprasad Alva, Stanford University professor Anurag Mairal, Nepalese billionaire Upendra Mahato, Pakistani human rights activist Faqir Shiva Kachhi among others,” he added.
Vigyananand said the event will be held under the theme ‘Jayasya Aayatnam Dharmah’ (dharma, the abode of victory). WHC-2023 will encompass seven parallel conferences, each focusing on crucial aspects such as economy, education and academia, media, politics, organisations, unique leadership, and contributions of Hindu women and youth, he added.
“The Thailand government’s recent decision to waive the visa requirement for travellers from India, combined with the WHC organizers facilitating group tours to South East Asian destinations such as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Cham Temple in Vietnam, Prambanan and Bali in Indonesia, and more, makes this year’s conference an unmissable opportunity,” Organising committee chairman Susheel Saraff said.
The three-day conference, beginning November 24, is being organised by the World Hindu Foundation. This is its third edition, with the first held in New Delhi in 2014 and the second in US’ Chicago in 2018.
