universal peace, for the deliverance of the whole world and for peace and uplift of all Souls.
At this stage Sant Kirpal Singh ji introduced Mufti Ziauddin Babakhanov of Russia to the audience. He said that the Mufti had come from Russia and he will offer his good wishes to the Conference and pray for its success on behalf of the Mussalmans. Mufti Ziauddin Babakhanov recited verses form the Holy Quran. He was followed by Shreee Mukand Malviya who recited some verses in sanskrit and prayed God for universal peace and well-being.
The next religious leader to offer his prayers was Archpriest Konstantin Ruzhitsky. Sant Kirpal Singh Ji said that there was a wrong notion in the minds of some people that there was no love for God in Russia. The presence of Archpriest Ruzhitsky was a living proof that it was not so. The Archpriest spoke in Russian. At the end of his recitation, Muni Sushil Kumar ji said that the Archpriest was the chosen representative of not only the Orthodox Christian Church of Russia, but also of the people and the Government of that great country. His participation in the World Religions Conference was bound to revive faith in Dharma. He had brought with him overflowing love for humanity. The Archpriest was followed by shreemati Meeratai Banerji who sang a devotional song.
Sant Kirpal Singh ji Maharaj, the conductor of Manglacharan prayers, winding up the proceedings said that the whole world was in the throes of an unparalleled crisis. The Governments of the various countries, at their own level, were trying to avert the disast:r threatening all mankind. The great men of the world, the liberated souls, have the welfare of the entire mankind at heart. They have love for all. From the depths of their heart they, one and all, fervently say,
"O God ! the whole world is burning. The danger of destruction by nuclear weapons is haunting all alike. The remedy lies far beyond all human efforts and endeavours. Q Lord ! save mankind from the imminer. danger of extinction."
Guru Nanak said :
"The whole world is on flames, save it as thou will, Even by thy benign Grace, if for nothing else."
The liberated souls have love for all humanity in their heart, therefore, the prayer of Guru Nanak always was,
“Peace be unto all, the world over, Under Thy will, O Lord."
