Renowned spiritual leader, Haji Syed Salman Chishty, Gaddi Nashin of Dargah Ajmer Sharif and Chairman of Chishty Foundation had very successful spiritual and academic gatherings in United States of America and the highlight was the compelling dialogues at Princeton University in New Jersy as International Consultation of Spiritual Elders, bringing together global experts, policymakers, religious and academics leaders to delve into the future of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) with focus on Faith based Initiatives.

Insights from Leading Scholars and Religious Leaders, including Haji Syed Salman Chishty, Prof. Mary Ann Glendon, Kyai Haji Yahya Cholil Staquf, Reverend Henry C. Ndukuba, Prof. Muhammad Najib Azca, Rabbi Silvina Chemen, Prof. Robert P. George, Prof. Robert W. Hefner, Mr. C.

Haji Syed Salman Chishty, with decades of spiritual leadership and global engagements on behalf of Ajmer Sharif, India enriched the dialogue with profound insights and teachings as in his remarks mentioned the importance of “Our faith traditions can become sources of cooperation and, as we have found at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, energised by the power of Divine Love power of divine love itself. The very motto of the Sufi Saint enshrined in Ajmer Sharif, Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chishty, “Love Towards All; Malice towards None” expressed as “Serving all of God’s Creation with Unconditional Love” is how we honour the dignity of all and serve the Creator of All. We express our love of God in our service to His family, the entire human family. Further, we believe this attitude of inclusion is grounded in an attitude of human unity expressed with clarity in the Quran Sharif

In the Surah Al Hujurah God Almighty addresses all humanity reminding us that He created our diversity, “Oh Humanity, We created you all from a male and a female, and made you the nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Truly, the best amongst you in the sight of Allah are those with Taqwa(God’s Consciousness). Surely, God is All Knowing and Awareness. “

This collaboration with Princeton University's James Madison Program on American Ideals and Institutions underscores the application of legal and ethical principles to contemporary challenges, promoting civic education and a deeper understanding of constitutional law and Western political thought.

Nahdlatul Ulama, the world's largest Islamic organization, led by Kyai Haji Yahya Cholil Staquf, plays a pivotal role in preventing political identity weaponization, fostering solidarity among cultures. The G20 Religious Forum (R20), initiated by Nahdlatul Ulama, strives for a rules-based international order based on shared moral and spiritual values.

The Center for Shared Civilizational Values (CSCV), the G20 Religious Forum's permanent secretariat, is committed to preserving a rules-based international order rooted in universal ethics and humanitarian values.

Through compelling keynote addresses, all the  esteemed leaders offered thought-provoking perspectives on how diverse peoples, faiths, and nations can collectively fulfill a shared vision.
