SUFISM FOR PEACE

The three-day international Conference on ‘Sufism : Sufi Traditions, Poetry and Philosophy’ was held at India International Centre, New Delhi, on March 18, 19, 20, 2006.

The International Conference was followed by visits to the holy shrines of Gharib Nawaz Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti and other Sufi saints at Ajmer Shareef, and also to shrines in and around Delhi – the holy shrines of Hazrat Khwaja Nizamuddin Aulia, Hazrat Khwaja Bakhtiar Kaki and Hazrat Pir Nasiruddin Chirag Dehlavi – on March 21, 22 and 23.

This International Sufi Conference witnessed the participation of about 200 eminent Sufi scholars and experts from 14 countries. It also had soul-stirring performance by eminent vocalist Shanti Hiranand, Gulfam Sabri’s group from Delhi, Baul singers from West Bengal, and Sufi singers Mr. Iqbal Bahu and Dr. Azhar Mehmood Choudhury from Pakistan.

This Conference was the first-ever of its kind held with the objective of reviving the glorious tradition of the subcontinent’s cultural fabric of secularism, inclusiveness, tolerance and pluralism by invoking the Sufi tradition and revisiting its literary-poetic heritage which is a unique civilisational link between India, Pakistan, Bangladesh as also Middle Eastern countries and Central Asia. The aim of the conference was to build understanding among writers, scholars, poets, thinkers, spiritual leaders and social activists about the occasional turmoils in the national and regional life of the people brought about by violence and terrorism due to social, political and religious differences and rivalry.

The Conference deliberations were enriched with intellectual inputs from well-known dignitaries including Mr. V.P. Singh, Dr. Abid Hussain, Dr. Karan Singh, Ms. Ambika Soni, Mr. Pavan K. Varma, Dr. Namwar Singh, Mr. Lalit Mansingh, Dr. Shahid Mehdi, Mr. Kamleshwar and Khwaja Hasan Sani Nizami.
