Daaji, Kamlesh D Patel, global guide of Heartfulness, is convening more than 100 Jain Scholars, government leaders, and global thought leaders at Kanha Shanti Vanam to establish the Bhagwan Rishabh Dev Chair at HARI University . Heartfulness Institute is set to host the Heart of a Jain International Conclave on July 11-12, 2026, bringing together Jain philosophers, spiritual leaders, government officials, and community representatives to explore the contemporary relevance of Jain wisdom.
The conclave will position Bhagwan Rishabh Dev’s civilisational vision at the centre of a transformative dialogue addressing consciousness, ethics, sustainability, and human development in the modern age.
The conclave will feature three focused panel discussions designed to establish the framework of the proposed Bhagwan Rishabh Dev Chair in Philosophy at HARI University.

Over 100 delegates from India and abroad will participate, including Jain leaders who will also serve as conveners: Kushal Bhansali, Ramesh Jain, Kushal Kumar Kankaria, and Sharmila Oswal.
