Vimukti Pothnal
organized inter-religious Harmony program to unorganized youths in
the villages on 29th of January, 2024 at Vimukti premises. Iner-religious
dialogue possesses a great purpose in this world which is torn by
deadly conflicts. Interfaith dialogue always advocates toleration,
peace, and harmony. It never denigrates any religion being biased to
a specific religion. It always tries to make people understand that
despite several differences the core points of all religions are the
same. Fr. Sathish Fernandes in his introductory talk said
interreligious dialogue works for peace building and conflict
resolution among followers of different faiths and religions. We are
facing deadly conflicts, wars, and armaments every single day. And
yes, it is interreligious dialogue which can save the world from all
these vices and can help in disappearing fanaticism. This type of
dialogue is so significant that it has the power to strengthen
inter-personal Interreligious Harmony and Social Engagements. Muslim
Imam said ‘If a person knows the religious teachings, concepts and
values of other religions, there will grow respect and high regard
towards other religions and cultures of the world inside him’. He
will always advocate peace and harmony not conflict. Basavarj swamy
said, it is necessary to know the concept of religious harmony and
unity in several religions and faiths which will make interreligious
dialogue successful. As Swami Nikhilananda says- “Different
religions can learn from one another. Thus, Hinduism can teach the
art of meditation, Christianity social service, Buddhism inner peace
through desire lessness, Judaism justice and righteousness and Islam
equality and brotherhood. Thus, the interreligious Harmony input
sessions enlightened the unorganized youth to respect each other and
live harmoniously. Nearly 30 unorganised youth attended and
benefited from this program.
