The World Hindu Congress 2023 will be held in Bangkok, Thailand from November 24 to 26. The theme is Jayasya Aayatanam Dharmaḥ, meaning “Dharma, the Abode of Victory.” Seven parallel thematic conferences to articulate the values, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of Hindus in all their vibrance and glory will constitute this WHC.
The conferences will provide space to discuss and deliberate upon the opportunities and challenges facing Hindus across the world and how to address them valiantly. These conferences will also focus on areas of strategic importance to Hindus and provide avenues for collaboration among Hindu leaders, activists, and thinkers for the Hindu resurgence.
Swami Vigyananand, Jt. General Secretary of Vishva Hindu Parishad shared more details about the WHC and said, “The essence of the WHC lies in its ability to create a shared vision and purpose among Hindus worldwide. By uniting individuals, organizations, and leaders under a common umbrella, the Congress facilitates meaningful conversations, innovative ideas, and strategic collaborations that pave the way for a brighter future.”
Hindus are a 1.2 billion-strong community, comprising 16% of the world’s population with a presence in around 200 countries in the 21st Century. Across the world, Hindus have been leaders and catalysts in all spheres of human endeavour including business, economy, education, governance, media, technology, and culture. As a civilisation, we have always aspired for a Dharmic world that is prosperous, just, and peaceful. However, such aspirations can only be realised if the Hindu leadership - spread across nations, societies, and cultures - comes together to organise and combine its energies for global welfare, said Swami Vigyananandji.
He said, “The WHC enables all Hindu leaders, activists, thinkers, and influencers to come together and work towards a common vision. It provides the Hindus a platform to connect, share ideas and inspire each other for the greater common good.”
