  • On Gandhi Jayanti, Hon Venkaiah Naidu, Vice President of India, will inaugurate World’s largest dome and Peace Centre at MIT, Vishwarajbaug. The imposing monumental dome clad in the finest marble, is the vision of Dr Vishwanath Karad, the Founder-President & Director General, World Peace Centre (Alandi), MAEER’s MIT, Pune and MIT World Peace University. 
  •  “It will be a momentous occasion when Hon Venkaiah Naidu, Vice President of India will inaugurate the edifice befitting the glory of Mother India, and the monument, a blend of Science, Spirituality and Philosophical aspects in life for the welfare of mankind, will be open to the world on Gandhi Jayanti,” said an emotional septuagenarian and veteran educationist Dr. Vishwanath Karad, at a press conference at the MIT Vishwarajbaug campus, Pune. Dr Karad has over the last 13 years, painstakingly created Philosopher Saint Shri Dnyaneshwara World Peace Prayer Hall and Library at the 62,500 sq fte magnificent monument at the Vishwarajbaug Campus of MIT under the world’s largest dome with a diameter of 160 feet, standing tall over the Vatican Dome, which has a diameter of 139.6 feet. The height of the dome at its apex is 263 feet.
  • Set in the backdrop of late world renowned actor Raj Kapoor’s heritage farm and memorial, now housing MIT, Karad’s brainchild and one of the best educational institutions of the world, is the magnificent Dome as well as 54 larger-than-life bronze statues of some of the greatest saints, scientists and philosophers of all time, all brought to life by the 93-year-old veteran Ram Sutar.  Each of the bronze statues weighs nearly 1500 Kg and the installation by itself is an arduous task. The 54 statues signify the union of science, philosophy and spirituality and the essence of Indian culture, philosophy and tradition and the aspect of world peace.
  • The current World Peace Monument at Vishwarajbaug is the result of 13 years of painstaking selfless and consistent effort. The saints, scientists and philosophers stand tall at MIT, Vishwarajbaug, awaiting the timeless World Peace Monument to open its doors on October 2, marking newer beginnings for Mother India’s quest for World Peace.
