Two-Day National Conference on Pāli: A Dialect of People (पालि: जन-जन की बोली)
Chh. Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), a city rich with Buddhist heritage, is set to host the Two-Day National Conference on Pāli: A Dialect of People (पालि: जन-जन की बोली) on October 14th and 15th, 2025. Hosted by MGM University's Institute of Indian and Foreign Languages and the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Centre for Buddhist Studies-FIDS, this conference aims to re-introduce the profound wisdom of the ancient Pāli language to the modern public. As the language chosen by the Buddha for his teachings, Pāli served as the accessible "common man's" tongue over 2500 years ago, playing an instrumental role in preserving the earliest Buddhist scriptures in the Tipitaka. The event's core message emphasizes the timeless relevance of Buddha's philosophy, focusing on the need for wisdom over war and promoting social harmony and the purification of the mind.
The conference will feature a remarkable roster of eminent scholars and experts from across India. Distinguished speakers like Dr. Prafull Gadpal, Dr. Dhammadeep Wankhede, and Dr. Yojana Bhagat will deliver lectures on topics ranging from Pāli's relevance in the modern world to its echoes in Buddhist art and culture. The program is designed to be highly interdisciplinary, promoting the study of Pāli literature as essential for the younger generation in understanding various fields, including Philosophy, History, Linguistics, and even modern Sciences. A unique highlight will be 'Melodies of the Middle Path,' a live musical presentation of the Dhammapada, showcasing the artistic depth of this classical language.
A significant aspect of the conference is its call for academic papers, inviting research on a broad spectrum of themes under the umbrella of Pāli and Buddhist studies. Scholars are encouraged to submit work on topics such as the Origin and Development of Pāli, Pāli Inscriptions, Vipassana Meditation, and the contributions of modern figures like Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Acharya Satyanarayan Goenka to the revival of Pāli studies. The goal is not only to foster academic research but also to raise social awareness and advocate for increased human equality globally, with selected papers to be considered for publication in reputed peer-reviewed journals.
Interested participants, including faculty, professionals, research scholars, and students, should note the critical deadlines, with the abstract submission due on October 10th, 2025, and the final paper submission on October 12th, 2025. The registration fee is structured to ensure broad accessibility. This conference offers a timely and necessary platform to delve into the ancient language that is key to understanding India’s rich spiritual and intellectual heritage, particularly in a region that has flourished with Buddhism since the time of the Satavahanas and is home to the world-renowned Ajanta and Ellora Caves. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with the wisdom of the past for a more mindful future.
