Mohanji at the Indian Parliament of All Religions

Mohanji was the Chief Guest at the 15th Annual Inter-Faith Meet organised by the Bhartiya SARVA Dharma Sansad (Indian Parliament of All Religions) on 25th April 2023.
The theme for this yearโ€™s meet was โ€œImportance and Relevance of Swami Vivekanandaโ€™s teaching to the present generationsโ€. The event brought together reputed spiritual and religious leaders representing all the major faiths from across India.
The event itself was an excellent combination of inspired talk by the leaders. Speakers spanned the breadth of faiths from Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, Bahaโ€™i and more, besides leaders from various spiritual families. The speeches were interspersed with lovely musical and dramatic performances by the children of the school.
Mohanji, as the chief guest speaker, made an impactful speech. Having travelled to many countries and met many different people, he reminded the audience that we are essentially the same, and that spiritual leaders & religious heads should unite and take responsibility for ensuring the rights to a peaceful existence. Mohanji highlighted that his summary of Vivekenandaโ€™s teaching was “Be alert, aware and active”. Alert that we are more than the body, we are the energy inside everything, aware of our actions, non-violence in thought words and actions and active to do something positive for the society for our own purification. Finally, be practical before being spiritual.
After the speeches, the speakers addressed the press. Various leaders reiterated their commitment to pursue the joint common objectives of the organisation. Sushilji Maharaj made the announcement of the Sarva Dharma Bharat Sansadโ€™s intention to work together with the Mohanji Foundation on a global level and create an annual event that is a World Parliament of Religions by the end of 2023. He also graciously offered his space at the Maharshi Brighu ashram to be utilized to serve as the permanent home for the Sarva Dharma Bharat Sansad. The program concluded with lunch.
He said, โ€œEarth Day is a way of raising awareness and enhancing activities that counteract the destruction, by changing the way we think and liveโ€ฆ The act of planting trees is itself an act of faith and patience. The trees we are planting today will take time to bear fruit, but they are an investment in the wellbeing of this community.โ€
He also expressed gratitude to Mohanji for the local and global work conducted for the betterment of society as both foundations are aligned by an underlying ethos and commitment to making positive change in lives of all who reside upon this beautiful planet, irrespective of colour, race, creed or religion.
