Background and the Mohammadens. We all are descendents of the "Grand Old Man", the first and the highest in God's creation, with no distinguishing labels about us. The differences come in only in the outlook of Man and not in Man. It is for the devouts in Dharma to save Dharma from the onslaughts of agnosticism, Ignorance and materialism. If you protect Dharma, Dharma shall protect you. Awake, arise and help the helpless, protect the weak and cheer up the cheerless, lead them from darkness to light, knit the world into a harmonious whole, expand the Solf so as embrace the Universe and with a determined will set to work for the amelioration of mankind; for the clarion call of Dharma has ever been "One World" and “Universal Brotherhood".
"Let all be happily blessed and arise in fearlessness,
Let all be helpful and be free from pain and sorrow."
This indeed has been the spirit that has moved us all to call for All-Religions' Conferences and the World Conference of All Religions. Our political Leadors too want to achieve the same ideal through the five-fold principles embodied in the Panch-Shila. But the leaders of spiritual thought and belief feel sceptical of their success and are therefore endeavoring to contribute their mite, in achieving the desired goal. In short, this is the underlying motive and the great objective before the World Conference of All-religions. To achieve this purpose, we shall have to rise above the material World, and enter into the Spiritual, before we can, enthuse others with the life of Spirit, and unite mankind at the level of Soul and thereby bring about World Peace' based on 'World Brotherhood'. This is the only way whereby we can translate our dream into an actual reality. It is for this purpose that we have decided to establish "World Fellowship of Religions" and "Non-violence Research Institute."
