As part of Guru Purnima celebrations, Unity of Faiths Conference was
conducted on 2nd July 2012. In the morning session, two erudite
speakers, towering personalities representing Islam and Hinduism spoke
to the large gathering of devotees assembled in Sai Kulwant Hall. Sri
Srirangarajan, Controller of Examinations, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of
Higher Learning introduced the two speakers for the session. They were
Prof. Akhtarul Wasey, Head of Department, Islamic Studies, Jamia Milla
Islamia, New Delhi and His Holiness Swami Dayananda Saraswati.
Sri Srirangarajan began with placing his reverential salutations at
the Lotus Feet of Bhagawan. A notable feature of his talk was he
interspersed with clips from Bhagawan’s Discourses. On account of
distorted interpretation, people of many religions are misguided. The
outcome is violence and bloodshed. If you know who you are, you will
understand what religion is.” Continuing further, he said, “True
spirituality means the spirit in you is present in everyone.
Realisation is religion.
Prof. Akhtarul Wasey said that it was his privilege and pleasure to be
at Prasanthi Nilayam as a pilgrim. A true Muslim will respect all
religions. Echoing a lofty statement, the learned speaker said,
“Whoever is born is born for doing service.” Giving the true meaning
of Jihad, the speaker said, Jihad does not mean holy war but supreme
struggle against evil desires and other evil tendencies.
After the talk of Prof. Wasey, H.H. Dayananda Saraswasti, a
traditional teacher of Vedanta said that he was happy to be here
because he is at the abode of the Person who has inspired not only
people of this country but people of all cultures and religions. The
speaker expressed that what goes under the name Hinduism is one
Sanathana Dharma, never founded by anybody; a Dharma which produced in
every generation great people. When a philosopher was asked about
Hinduism, he said, it is the view and way of life. H.H. Dayananda
Saraswati concluded his talk by saying that Baba validated all forms
of prayer and worship. God understands all languages, any form of
prayer.
