The Global Issues Summit turns awareness into action through education and solution-oriented conversation. The summit promotes the leadership necessary for a sustainable and just future. Through exposing the community to other perspectives, attendees are empowered to advocate for innovative solutions and form fruitful partnerships.

Step into the Mahabharata like never before. More than an ancient epic, it becomes a mirror of our present, relationships, and choices, brought to life through a dynamic two-way dialogue that blends lived philosophy with contemporary visual storytelling.

Shri Vivek offers a philosophical lens, translating timeless teachings into the context of our everyday lives, while Sanjay Patel reimagines the epic through a bold, modern illustrative language, revealing how these stories can be seen, felt, and experienced anew.

Through this exchange, Sanjay will highlight key moments from the Mahabharata through his lens as a storyteller and illustrator. Vivekji will reflect on how those same moments mirror our own lives, shaping our relationships, decisions, and personal growth. The conversation then shifts, with Vivekji turning the lens back to Sanjay’s creative process and exploring how he translates vast themes like dharma and inner conflict into visual form.

Together, they explore how the Mahabharata guides us from conflict to clarity, inviting us to discover who we are and what we are meant to do. Because the real battlefield is not out there; it is within.

We are pleased to invite you, your family to our Annual Recitation of Hanuman Chalisa with a special fire ritual to celebrate 75 Years of Chinmaya Bala Vihar Movement.
“Experience the divine power of collective chanting and special offering in the fire for strength and peace”
