The National Literary Conference, titled 'Keshav Kavya Kalrav 2026,' successfully concluded on Sunday at Swaminarayan Akshardham, New Delhi, under the aegis of the BAPS Swaminarayan Research Institute.
The symposium invited original poems, muktaks (quatrains), and ghazals in Hindi, Sanskrit, and English from writers across various corners of the country. The central themes of the conference were rooted in profound spiritual concepts such as 'Guru' (Spiritual Master), 'Bhagwan' (God), 'Atmavichar' (Self-reflection), 'Sankhya Vichar' (Philosophical discernment), and 'Akshay Anand' (Eternal Bliss). Out of numerous entries received nationwide, the selection committee chose the finest pieces, and these exceptional writers were invited to present their works today at the Akshardham complex. The inaugural session commenced at 1:00 PM with a welcoming address by Dr Gyanananddas Swami (Assistant Director, BAPS Swaminarayan Research Institute, Akshardham, New Delhi), setting the stage for a magnificent confluence of language, literature, and devotion. One after another, the invited poets took to the stage, weaving beautiful threads of imagination with deep devotional sentiments. Through their poetry, the creators delivered emotionally resonant and thought-provoking presentations on themes like the glory of the Guru (Guru-Mahima), love for the Guru (Guru-Prem), divine grace, the divinity of Akshardham, and the Guru's blessings. In their addresses, the dignitaries praised poetry as a natural and beautiful expression of devotion, lauding such initiatives as a perfect bridge between literature and spirituality. The grand event concluded with the felicitation of the award-winning poets, who were honoured with certificates of appreciation. (ANI)
