YOGI PRIYAVRAT ANIMESH & LONDON-BASED PRIYA PURI EXPLORE GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS INITIATIVE
OOJ Foundation and Priya Puri discuss a long-term India–London collaboration connecting spirituality, consciousness, responsible technology and global dialogue, with proposed initiatives linked to Kumbh and a major London platform
New Delhi | 3 October 2026: Following the interdisciplinary programme held at the Constitution Club of India on Gandhi Jayanti, Yogi Priyavrat Animesh, Founder-President of OOJ Foundation, and London-based Priya Puri have initiated discussions on developing a wider international collaboration centred on spirituality, human consciousness and the application of India’s knowledge traditions to contemporary global challenges.
The dialogue is envisioned as more than a continuation of a single conference. The proposed collaboration seeks to create a long-term bridge between India and London, bringing together spiritual wisdom, science, technology, mental well-being, sustainability and international thought leadership.
Among the ideas being explored is a significant Kumbh-linked global consciousness initiative in India, designed to introduce international audiences to the deeper civilisational, spiritual and experiential dimensions of the Kumbh tradition.
The discussions also include the possibility of developing a major international initiative in London, creating a platform where spiritual leaders, scientists, researchers, innovators, policymakers, entrepreneurs and cultural thinkers could engage with questions concerning consciousness, artificial intelligence, human well-being and the future of civilisation.
FROM INDIA’S SPIRITUAL HERITAGE TO A GLOBAL PLATFORM
Yogi Priyavrat Animesh said that the next phase of global development cannot be defined by technological advancement alone.
“Humanity has invested enormously in expanding intelligence and external capability. The next frontier is the evolution of consciousness. India carries a profound living knowledge of the inner sciences, and the time has come to place that wisdom in meaningful dialogue with science, technology and the institutions shaping our collective future.”
He added that Kumbh should also be understood internationally beyond its extraordinary scale.
“Kumbh is not merely a gathering of millions; it represents one of humanity’s oldest living expressions of collective consciousness, spiritual inquiry and civilisational continuity. There is an opportunity to create a serious global dialogue around this extraordinary heritage.”
INDIA–LONDON CONSCIOUSNESS CORRIDOR
The proposed India–London engagement is expected to explore programmes involving:
consciousness and the inner sciences;
responsible and non-violent approaches to artificial intelligence;
mental well-being and the Science of Time;
dialogue between ancient knowledge systems and contemporary science;
international research and intellectual exchange;
Kumbh-linked global spiritual and cultural engagement; and
a future London-based international platform bringing together influential voices from multiple disciplines.
The initiative would seek to move beyond conventional conferences by developing experiential programmes, research dialogues, international gatherings and long-term institutional partnerships.
Priya Puri’s London engagement and Yogi Priyavrat Animesh’s work through OOJ Foundation could provide complementary international and spiritual dimensions to the proposed collaboration, connecting India’s civilisational knowledge with contemporary global networks.
FROM “INTELLIGENCE TO WISDOM”
The discussions build upon the broader spirit of the 2 October gathering at the Constitution Club, New Delhi, which brought together voices from science, medicine, technology, public life and inner sciences around themes including Non-Violent AI Technology, Mental Health and the Science of Time.
The emerging collaboration carries that conversation forward, from an event to a potential international movement and from dialogue to institution-building.
As discussions progress, the proposed Kumbh initiative and London project are expected to be developed through separate conceptual frameworks, with details concerning international partners, programme architecture, venues and timelines to be announced following formalisation.
A larger vision is taking shape: India as a source of consciousness knowledge, London as a global dialogue platform, and Kumbh as a living bridge between ancient wisdom and humanity’s future.
