The event highlighted the friendship between the two spiritual leaders.
Maulana Kalbe Sadiq, Union Ministers Dr Harsh Vardhan and Dharmendra Pradhan were also present at the event.
Meanwhile, while speaking at the event, Dalai Lama said that it is fear that ultimately leads to irritation and anger among people. "Fear creates irritation, irritation creates anger, anger creates violence."
However, Baba Ramdev propagated for a tit-for-tat reaction for China
"We talk in the language of yoga but the one who doesn't get it must be answered in the language of war", he said.
