THE IDEA OF UNITY

MULTI-RELIGIOUS PROJECTS So far, religious groups have made many efforts towards the removal of poverty, but in isolation. We will launch a number of multi-religious projects in education, healthcare and water supply as well as entrepreneurship and employment to help the poor. People will see for themselves that multiple religions are working together for the common good. These efforts will elevate religions in the minds of the people and the nation will benefit.
EDUCATION FOR UNITY OF RELIGIONS Religious educational institutions operating in different parts of the country should enrol some children from other religions and impart values such as religious tolerance and righteousness. The real purpose of religion and an understanding of the underlying unity of all religions should be embedded in the minds of the students. These children will foster a sense of peace and amity between themselves. Simple exercises to reinforce positive thinking can be carried out. In addition, specially designed value-based educational material should be given to the children. The same should also be disseminated through the media. It may not be necessary to begin an exercise to generate these materials, as a large amount is available in India and abroad. However, it may be necessary to search for it and shape it to suit our specific needs.
INTER-FAITH DIALOGUE In addition to the above projects impinging directly on common people and citizens, it is also necessary to have a continual inter-faith dialogue between the religious and spiritual heads as well as scholars. This dialogue can address, among other things, a common code between religions,
