Understanding Religions
Until there is peace between religions, there can be no peace in the world Thich Nhat Hanh
The injustices caused by ignorance and misunderstanding of other religions are growing every day. It is in this scenario that a two day inter-faith dialogue amongst school students was held at the Ashirwad Centre. Teachings and doctrines of different faiths, highlighting the salient features of each religion were discussed. Professor G.S. Chawla spoke about Sikhism, Mr. Sheriyar Vakil was the speaker on Zoroastrianism, Mr. Janakiram shared his thoughts on Hinduism and Fr. James Gonsalves highlighted the principles of Christianity. Mr. Bodhi Bushan spoke on Buddhism while Dr. Radha Parikh illumined the students on the tenets of the Bahai Faith and Dr. Ali Khwaja gave a talk on the main doctrines of Islam.
