The Foundation was started by Dr Anant Bhagwat, who said India was fast emerging as an important player in international arena. In this context, he referred to the late Sri Aurobindo who had talked of India playing a crucial role in the comity of nations. However, Dr Mohan Bhagwat observed, that there is a need for a vision document which will provide a road map for the nation in world politics in the coming years. He appealed to the Global Strategic Policy Foundation Pune (GSPFP) to form a national team which will thoroughly discuss and formulate a vision document and share it with him. He said India had always stressed on its dharma because of which it never attacked any other country.
Dr. Mohan Bhagwat said India always wanted world unity as distinct from uniformity in the larger interest of lasting peace in the world. Upon being reminded by Kashmiris, about his promise ( 6 Sept 2021 GSPFP program in Hotel Leela Mumbai ) Dr. Mohan Bhagwat said his promise to visit Kashmir & directly interact with Kashmiris, holds true & he will definitely fulfil it.
Governor Kerala, Arif Mohammad Khan said India with it's rich cultural and spiritual traditions was best qualified to provide global leadership. He applauded the role of Adi Shankararcharya who not only united the nation by founding four mutths in four corners of the country, but also gave the idea of higher purpose in life which provided a vision for world peace.
