About WHC
The World Hindu Congress is a global platform for Hindus to connect, share ideas, inspire one another, and impact the common good. Held once every four years, WHC’s seven parallel conferences showcase how the values, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of the global Hindu community find expression in a variety of spheres, including economic, education, media, political and organizational, as well as the unique leadership and contributions of Hindu women and youth. Interactive sessions offer space to deliberate the challenges and opportunities facing Hindu communities across the globe, and seek tangible solutions for the progress and prosperity of Hindus and the betterment of humanity and the world. The inaugural WHC 2014 was held in Delhi, followed by WHC 2018 in Chicago, and WHC 2023 in Bangkok held from 24-26 November, 2023. The next WHC will be held in Mumbai from December 18th to 20th, 2026.

Hindus should beware of 'sadgun vikriti' (need to be seen as good) and imbibe their perception of 'Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam' (world is one family) with caution. Good times will not come on their own - we cannot remain in self-congratulatory posture and need to emulate our ancestors whoworked hard in challenging times to preserve Hindu heritage.
- Swami Vigyananand, Ideator, WHC
I have attended many such conferences, and seen that they provoke few real changes. But this one was different; it was a tangible symbol, a sign, an occult happening. Swami Vivekananda’s and Sri Aurobindo’s call for a renaissance of Bharat has begun.
-Francois Gautier, Speaker WHC 2014.
Without even realizing it, we have internalized our own inferiority. We need to break this lens of
colonial consciousness which prevents us from seeing the world correctly.
-Sarika Rao, Speaker WHC 2014.
